The Aviator actor has been friends with the notorious playboy for a number of years and has made frequent visits to his Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.
Leonardo has been thinking about playing the 81-year-old in a movie adaptation, but would like to do it while he is still alive and can watch the result for himself.
A source said: "Leo and Hugh have been friends for a long time and Leo has always been interested in Hugh's life story. Leo thinks it would make a great movie and Hugh would love Leo to do it - on condition Hugh is alive to see it."
