In an interview with Germany’s Welt am Sonntag, Leo said that he would be interested in playing Russian president Vladimir Putin in a movie.

“Putin would be very, very, very interesting, I would love to play him,” Leo said. “Lenin, too, would be an interesting film role. I would [like] to play Rasputin too. I believe that there should be more movies about Russian history. Russia unites so many stories almost of Shakespearean character. For an actor, it’s extremely exciting.”
