Tim Vollmer, The Herald Sun, reports
LEONARDO DiCaprio made his much-anticipated first appearance on the Sydney set of the The Great Gatsby on Friday, complete with period three-piece suit and trim straw boater hat.
The star, who plays mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby, strolled the set with co-star Tobey Maguire, rehearsing lines before hopping into a vintage yellow convertible to film a scene behind the wheel.
While Leo had been conspicuous by his absence earlier this week, he was on deck all day Friday as filming went into full swing.
The stylish DiCaprio looked every bit the Hollywood leading man.
The film set is built on the grounds of Rozelle's abandoned White Bay power station, which has been recreated to resemble a barren wasteland on the fringes of 1920s New York.
The Great Gatsby is expected to inject more than $120 million into the NSW economy over the four-month shoot.
While much of the movie will be shot inside the lots at Fox Studios, the main set that remains unseen is the mansion of Leo's millionaire character, Jay Gatsby.
