Hollywood hot shot Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly decided to drop out of Mel Gibson's planned Viking movie.

According to Radar Online, the 'Inception' star has left the project due to the 'Mad Max' actor recent headline hitting scandal, which include rage-fueled recordings, racist rants and domestic abuse.

Radar Online's source apparently added that there's no chance that Oscar nominee DiCaprio is still planning to work on the Gibson project and said that Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with and Mel Gibson isn't one of them.

The 'Braveheart' star's ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is accusing the Academy Award winner of beating her as she held their baby daughter Lucia. On the other hand, Gibson claims that Grigorieva is attempting to extort money from him.

Both parties deny the charges.
