If we had to pick an Anglo-American actor, I would pick Jude Law. He got that gaunt, balding look.

Leonardo DiCaprio, the man who ate raw bison liver for his art (despite the several looming fires raging around him with which he could have cooked the viscous organ), picks his projects very carefully.
He has, in recent years, developed a particular affinity for portraying amoral men. Speaking with Germany's Welt am Sonntag, the Oscar-less actor said he would love to portray Vladimir Putin, the Russian president and sometimes shirtless model.
"Putin would be very, very, very interesting," DiCaprio said. "I would love to play him." They unlikely pair met at a 2010 conference on the endangered Siberian tiger, when Putin was still just a lowly Prime Minister.
"My foundation has provided financial support for several projects for the protection of these big cats," Leo said. "Putin and I talked only about the protection of these magnificent animals, not politics." Putin later declared DiCaprio, who is half Russian, a "muzhik," or "a real man," probably because he ate raw bison liver for his art.
If DiCaprio did get to play Putin, where do you think it would rank on his list of best performances? Probably somewhere around the homicidal slave trader, guiltless Wall Street swindler, and crazy, paranoid FBI director.

Leo’s not man enough.
Apply some makeup and he’d be able to portray Barry O.
And, he does not have a head that looks like a pumpkin!
Judd Law is an Aussie. DiCaprio is a left-wing global warming candy ass. Only man that could do justice to Putin is a real man. Daniel Craig might make a good Putin.
The obvious choice.
I think RuPaul would be a perfect Obama.
I see Dicaprio playing Howard Hughes I don’t see Howard Hughes, I see Dicaprio playing Howard Hughes. Same for J.Edgar Hoover.
LOL!!!
The obvious choice.
Less important who plays Putin than who plays his daughters, wife and squeeze?
You own me a keyboard....but, Yes!!!
Did I miss the Ocsars? I usually do. I thought Leo was taking a run at it with his latest effort.
Did Putin get screwed by a bear? I don’t think Vlad would want to be played by a pinched-up baby-face like Leo.
Daniel Craig and Putin may have been twins separated at birth.
Tommy Lee Jones made a good Howard Hughes.
Exactly what would the actor portray Putin doing? Annexation of Crimea (signed treaty violation!) Attacking Georgia (nation not state) (violation of UN charter!) Covering-up destruction of civilian airliner using Russian weapons by obvious proxies?
Or the grinning Putin watching US President Obama talking about flexibility after he is re-elected in 2012?
And Sean Penn is leading the casting for the remake of ‘Vanished’.
and....Bill Cosby’s gonna be honored for his work in “While you were Sleeping” (stole it!)
Dicaprio’s head is too pumpkinlike.
Sean may vanish himself. Maybe they’ll find his head on a turtle as in Breaking Bad.
[DiCaprio Wants to Portray Russian President Vladimir Putin]
Simply put... “I want to pretend to be Vladimir Putin”
