The other day, we saw the first photos of Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of Martin Scorsese’s upcoming film “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Matthew McConaughey has also joined him, as the photo above will confirm.

It’s no secret that Matthew has been on a very drastic diet to lose weight for the role of an AIDS patient but, even so, his new gaunt, frail figure is almost startling.

The star, known for his ripped physique, good looks and incredible sense of humor, was last seen on the big screen in “Magic Mike,” where he flashed his sculpted body to the delight of his female fans.

He is believed to be on a liquid diet for the new role – and, by the looks of it, it’s already paying off.
