Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly converting to Judaism so that he can marry Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli. The Titanic star who is a non-practising Catholic, has made several secret visits to Israel where his girlfriend comes from, reported Daily Mail online.
“Leo’s sudden intense interest in Israel, its culture and religion is the clearest sign yet that he intends to marry Bar. Now he is looking into converting for her,” said a source close to the 36-year-old actor.
The actor likes to spend time in the Jerusalem Old Town, exploring its religious sites with a guide.
“He employs the same guide used by Madonna on her visits. Leo wants to learn more about Israel and its culture and religion to appease her traditional family. Bar is over the moon he is so enthused that he is investigating the process of converting,” said the source.

Douglas on wheelchair post chemo
London: Hollywood veteran Michael Douglas who has undergone a strenuous cancer treatment recently, resorted to an electronic wheelchair for a day out at an amusement park.
The Wall Street star looked healthy as he posed for photos last week during a trip to Disney World in Florida with his family, reported Sun online.
However, the action-packed trip took its toll and the 66-year-old actor was later snapped looking worn out and using a mobility scooter to tour The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando.
“While Michael made every effort, it took a severe physical toll on him,” a source at the park said. Douglas underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatment for throat cancer this year in October.
