Torture Scene Left Dicaprio Drained And Ill

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO was left so shattered after a torture scene in new political thriller BODY OF LIES he was ill for days.

The Titanic star prepared for the scene in a former Moroccan jail for months, but had no idea the intensity of the shoot would leave him drained and sick.

DiCaprio, who plays a CIA operative alongside Russell Crowe in the film, says, "We did that (scene) in the middle of some medieval torture tomb. There was some kind of horrific dust in the air.

"I got sick for two or three days afterward because of the intense energy it took."
