For his last big role, Leonardo Dicaprio slept inside an animal carcass and ate raw meat. His dedication and focus led to his first Academy Award.

We're not sure what role Leo is preparing for right now, but it has taken him to the Olympics, competing as an archer under the pseudonym Brady Ellison.

Sure, maybe Ellison isn't actually Leonardo DiCaprio. But the similarity is close enough to leave us squinting at the two suspiciously.

The similarities don't end with their eyebrows and noses and facial hair. Ellison has already taken home a silver medal in the men's team archery competition in Rio.

Sound familiar? That's right; Leonardo DiCaprio also won a performance-based award in 2016.

Wow wow wow, you guys. I think we're on to something here.
