American actor Leonardo DiCaprio is looking to build a house in Israel, the Israel Hayom daily newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Citing associates of DiCaprio, the report said that the actor — the boyfriend of Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli — wants to buy a plot of land on which to build a house that will serve as his base during visits to Israel.

DiCaprio is said to be considering lands in the southern part of the country. Lacking a suitable option there, he will look at lands in the north. He is said not to be considering building a home in the central part of the country, where Refaeli’s family lives.
