These are pictures taken of Leonardo in Thailand during the shooting of "The Beach". They appeared in various newspapers and magazine around the world. We would like your help in trying to identify some of Leonardo's friends/bodyguards. Any ideas? If you can put a name to a face then please e-mail the webmaster.
