Actress Naomi Watts is to star with Leonardo DiCaprio in a new J.Edgar biopic. Deadline Hollywood reports that DiCaprio will play J.Edgar Hoover in the film while Watts will take on the role of Hoover’s secretary Helen Gandy. It is claimed Helen spent weeks destroying personal files after Hoover’s death. Charlize Theron was lined up to take the role at first as Watts’ schedule wouldn’t originally give her the time to film it. Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick is set to play Agent Smith, the man brought in by Hoover to write his biography.
