Russell Crowe wasn’t the only one getting jiggy with Leonardo DiCaprio during the “Body of Lies” shoot – his other co-star, Oscar Isaac tried to get cozy with him in the field.

“I guess you could say my character’s maybe secretly in love with Leo’s character, yeah,” Isaac told us. “I think that’s exactly how I played it when I think about it.”

Based on David Ignatius’ 2007 novel, “Body of Lies” features DiCaprio as Roger Ferris, a CIA man in the field in the Middle East trying to lure a car-bombing terrorist out of hiding, and Isaac as Bassam, his translator and ally in Iraq (which was substituted for by shooting in Morocco).

Bassam wins Ferris over by giving him intel, but how did Isaac win over DiCaprio? “That’s easy, he’s a pushover,” Isaac said. “Just play Xbox. Just beat him at some Xbox games.”

Sounds simple, except DiCaprio is pretty much a master gamer – so what are his weaknesses? “I think it depends on the game,” Isaac said. “I’m a good Halo player, and he’s good at all the other ones, so I would say we’re evenly matched.”

“So for the girls,” he advised, “just bone up on your Xbox. It’s a matter of skill. Just mad skill. And then he’s yours.”

Think it’s that easy to score with Leo? Planning to see “Body of Lies”? Or does it look like Ridley Scott’s lost his touch?

    Apparently Ridley Scott enjoys working with Russell Crowe; and he likes to make movies that raise international awareness (i'm thinking Blackhawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven)... that's a good thing i'd say
