Neil Sean 25/2

NEIL SEAN'S SHOWBIZ GOSSIP

Leonardo DiCaprio is hoping to ban a film that he made over 10 years ago. With his best actor Oscar nomination under his belt for his performance as Howard Hughes in The Aviator - it's been a good year for Leo.

However, the star is now more concerned about a film he made way back in 1994 - a rom-com called Don's Plum, co-starring pal Tobey Maguire. Both stars are now threatening legal action if the movie is given a US release. It would appear that Leo hates his performance in the movie and only did it as a favour to the director.

A mole told me: "The fact he's taking it so seriously is making the movie more interesting to distributors." If Leo wins the Oscar this weekend, he'll be keener than ever to get rid of Don's Plum - but the film's bosses will be as keen as mustard to release it.
