DiCaprio in hospital scare

Leonardo DiCaprio (Romeo And Juliet, The Aviator, Gangs Of New York) is said to be on the road to recovery after being flown to hospital following an incident while filming his latest flick.

The 31-year-old Titanic actor has been in Africa for forthcoming movie The Blood Diamond but a fall caused fears he had suffered internal injuries.

An emergency helicopter flew him to a nearby clinic in Nelspruit, South Africa, where he underwent an MRI scan.

The results confirmed that thankfully there was no internal bleeding and that instead, DiCaprio had simply injured a knee during the slip.

"He went to the clinic and was examined but he was back at work today," a spokesperson for the Hollywood superstar confirmed.
