"I had a big crush on him back in school. I had this little Leonardo DiCaprio scrapbook with his picture on the front," she told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos . "Now he's going to think I'm a creep after this!"

But if things don't work out with Leo, who she got to meet at this year's Palm Springs Film Festival, the actress already has a backup plan in place for her next leading man.

"Who other than Leo is your dream co-star?" Maria asked Freida.

"I'd have to say Jack Nicholson ," she revealed. "He's the one person I've been dying to meet and for some reason, I just haven't seen him anywhere."

Unfortunately for Leo and Jack, they will have to wait to work with Freida, as the "Slumdog" beauty has signed on to join Woody Allen 's latest project, according to Variety.

And she's not the only lovely lady joining the cast. Naomi Watts has also signed on, joining the previously announced Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins.

The project will mark Pinto's first film since "Slumdog Millionaire," which was her acting debut.

Filming is slated to begin this summer.

    I wonder how much longer this hype will have. This woman is annoying and so is the whole talk if she and the guy are dating. Ridiculous. Who cares? Everyone loves a ghetto story, that is all that is happening.
