The Magic of Cinema: Take a Look at these Photos of Famous Celebrities and the Real-Life People They Portrayed on Screen

Leonardo DiCaprio and Howard Hughes

If there is a Hollywood actor who regularly portrays real-life characters, it’s definitely Leonardo DiCaprio.  This list would not be complete without him.  He has been portraying real-life characters since he was a child star in the movie This Boy’s Life.  Other relevant films include The Basketball Diaries, Total Eclipse, Catch Me If You Can, J. Edgar, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Revenant.  But one of his most memorable real-life portrayals, besides his Oscar award-winning role of fur trapper Hugh Glass in The Revenant, is filling in the shoes of businessman, aviator, and filmmaker Howard Hughes in The Aviator.
