DiCaprio Dinged During Shoot
The Aviator was temporarily grounded over the weekend.
Leonardo DiCaprio sustained an undisclosed "minor" leg injury Friday, while shooting on location in the African country of Mozambique, his publicist confirmed.
Per a statement released by publicist Ken Sunshine, the 31-year-old thesp "received medical attention and was back at work" on the set of Edward Zwick's action-adventure thriller The Blood Diamond the following day.
The news surfaced after the Johannesburg-based newspaper the Citizen reported that DiCaprio--accompanied by a coterie of bodyguards and an on-set medic--was flown to a hospital in Nelspruit, near the Kurger National Park in neighboring South Africa, where he underwent X-rays.
"Nothing was ever released about the nature of the consultation," Robyn Baard, spokeswoman for the Nelspruit Medi-Clinic, told Reuters. "He was never a hospital patient really, so in terms of doctor-patient confidentiality we were not told what the consultation was about."
Robert Harris, the production publicist for Blood Diamond, said that the Titanic heartthrob injured his leg while running, and the subsequent checkup was conducted as a precautionary measure.
"We took him to a hospital in South Africa because we just wanted to make sure he was okay, and that done, he is now back at work," Harris told Reuters.
No other details were disclosed.
Costarring Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou, The Blood Diamond centers on a poor African farmer, an American smuggler and a business consortium all fighting for possession of a priceless gem. DiCaprio plays the smuggler.
The two-time Oscar nominee has reportedly been filming under tight security in the Mozambique capitol of Maputo.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio is continuing his offscreen work to save the planet.
The eco-friendly actor recently teamed up with Tree Media, a Santa Monica, California-based production outfit specializing in green-oriented programming, to produce, cowrite and narrate 11th Hour, a feature-length documentary on global warming and the perils humanity faces as a result of severe climate change.
The doc is scheduled for release in fall 2006.
Other projects in the DiCaprio pipeline include The Departed, a cops-and-gangsters thriller marking his third collaboration with Martin Scorsese, due out next August; a biopic of Theodore Roosevelt; and a potential adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle.
