Brian O'Driscoll wants Leonardo DiCaprio to play him in the BOD biopic

Gordon D’Arcy knows his Leinster bro more than his Leinster bro knows about him.

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL AND Gordon D’Arcy sat down with former England captain Will Carling during the week to take part in a version of the newlywed game.

The Leinster men were asked to answer questions about each other’s favourite things. D’Arcy fared better than O’Driscoll but the most interesting answer from ‘Know Your Bro’ was who the outside centre wants to play him if a BOD biopic is ever given the green light.

Perhaps a film about a plucky, insanely talented Dubliner that came back from devastating injury to win two Six Nations with his country will finally earn Leo DiCaprio that long sought-after Oscar win:

LEO Good for Videos Good for Videos

Leinster go for Jimmy Gopperth at out-half ahead of difficult trip to Toulon

O’Connor giving nothing away as Toulon tussle looms large

    He’d have to pile on the pounds for that role. Oscar nom guaranteed.

    Rugby is played professionally is very few countries, arguably one of the least popular sports in the world. I doubt Hollywood will be making a film of ‘BOD’ anytime soon, despite what the excitable Irish nation thinks

    Invictus?

    Arguably, though, this is probably more about Mandela than rugby.
