I don’t see Leo staying attached to this project. With Chazelle’s working history, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryan Gosling ends up playing the lead.
It’ll be like his The Fall Guy character except a bigger asshole.

Re: Evel Knievel Biopic
Last month, a report indicated that Damien Chazelle’s next film would tackle stunt devil Evil Knievel, and star Leonardo DiCaprio. It looks like this project is legit. Some more details have now emerged (via Production Weekly).
Firstly, the film is called “Evel Knievel on Tour,” and is written by William Monahan (“The Departed”) and Terrence Winter (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Sopranos”). This will also not be a straight up rise and fall biopic. Instead, the story is set in a single year, 1974, and tackles Knievel’s ambitious planning to jump across Idaho’s Snake River on his motorcycle.

If the above is accurate... mid-30s. He played late 20s, early 30s in Killers of the Flower Moon.
