For almost a week now, fires have been raging in the Los Angeles region, in the United States. Dozens of celebrities, from Leighton Meester to Laeticia Hallyday, including Patrick Bruel and Milo Ventimiglia, lost their homes in the flames.
That of Leonardo DiCaprio was also reduced to ashes. But far from attracting compassion, the Oscar-winning actor is the target of numerous criticisms on social networks, accused of having denied his values to leave the country engulfed in flames.
The private jet that doesn’t pass
While the United States is engulfed in flames, Leonardo DiCaprio preferred to leave the area. He was captured on camera by paparazzi as he landed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, accompanied by his partner Vittoria Ceretti, his father George, and his wife, Peggy Ann Farrar.
If the American star is not the only one to have left the country or at least the region, it is his mode of travel which is causing a lot of ink to flow. Indeed, the actor, who describes himself as an “environmental warrior” and whose foundation has donated several million dollars in favor of ecology, opted for the most possible pollutant: a private jet.
This is not the first time that Leonardo DiCaprio’s two-tier ecology has been singled out. Not only does he travel regularly by private jet – rather than opting for commercial flights, which are less polluting, even in first class – but he was also criticized for having rented one of the most polluting yachts on the planet to the 2014 football world cup.
Internet users’ reviews
Obviously, the choice of Leonardo DiCaprio was widely commented on by Internet users on social networks. “The so-called ecology warrior shows his true colors,” we can read on social networks. Many of the actor’s detractors accuse him of being “a fucking hypocrite”, “a cardboard eco-friendly”, or of proving once again that he has two-tiered values, depending on what suits him.
Moreover, some people took the opportunity to point out the actor’s taste for women much younger than him: “His carbon footprint is the opposite of the age of his conquests”, we can say. read in the comments of a TikTok video.
