Having received twelve stitches to close the cut to his face near the ear, Leonardo DiCaprio suffers both physical and emotional pain; many are afraid his stellar career may be in jeopardy.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been wounded by an agitated woman armed with a broken beer bottle at a Hollywood party.
DiCaprio's publicist, Ken Sunshine, confirmed the actor had been assaulted, "While leaving a small private gathering, Leo was attacked by a woman who was trespassing and had repeatedly been asked to leave the property," Sunshine said in a statement.
According to witnesses another guest shouted out: “My God, she has slashed open his face.”
Friends drove Leonardo who was in shock as blood streamed from his head, out of the Hollywood Hills to the nearby Cedars-Sinai hospital for emergency treatment. There he has had twelve stitches to mend the wound to his face and neck.
Apparently, a beer bottle can be a dangerous weapon. Many medical experts agree that if the bottle had severed the main artery in the side of the neck — the carotid artery — the actor have been dead in seconds from the loss of blood.
Now Leonardo DiCaprio will have to do his best to protect his boyish face, his most important asset as a film star.
Leonardo DiCaprio was reported to star in an adaptation of Robert Ludlum's The Chancellor Manuscript for Paramount Pictures. In the movie, DiCaprio will play Peter Chancellor, who turns in a novel about power brokers who are blackmailed into altering U.S. policies.
After the medical treatment, Leonardo DiCaprio stays at home in Hollywood Hills with his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel.
