The actor, who is also a UN climate change ambassador, was photographed in the Caribbean and one particular detail did not go unnoticed by his fans.
Leonardo DiCaprio was the target of criticism after being seen with his girlfriend Camila Morrone and a group of friends on an incredible private yacht. The reason? The boat produces 238 kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilometer, something unfriendly to the environment. The data collides with the reality of the actor, who is carrying out a crusade for climate change.
Everything happened after the UN climate change ambassador was discovered by the paparazzi on his vacation in the Caribbean, beautifully on the shores of Saint Barth. The actor was enjoying a few days aboard the luxurious ship of Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli, but he was criticized for the levels of pollution generated by putting it into operation.
The Daily Mail medium explained that the yacht on which DiCaprio and Morrone moved to spend their vacations produces 238 kilograms of carbon dioxide per kilometer, almost as much as what an average British car emits in just two months.
They also noted that the ship has a value of 150 million dollars and its model is Vava II, one of the largest created in Great Britain with a capacity for 50 crew members. It also has a helicopter pad, several rooms and a large pool to spend the days with all the comforts.
The main controversy arose because DiCaprio, who is a defender of the environment, always reflected on the subject on his social networks, expressing that it is "the most urgent threat facing our entire species." However, his attitude on board showed a different side and due to his recent escape he was titled by his fans on social networks as an "eco-hypocrite".
“I can't with Hollywood celebrity activists giving lessons from the yacht. DiCaprio has made it literal. On vacation on a yacht that consumes the same per kilometer as the average car in two months,” wrote a Twitter user.
"Don't look up... you may see Leonardo DiCaprio being an ecological hypocrite on his 110 million yacht," agreed another user, replicating a note from an American media outlet that discussed the details of the ship.
Criticism was also raised by his messages about the film he stars in, Don't look up, which also has an environmental theme. Months ago, the actor referred to fiction in an interview with Jill Serjeant and Lisa Richwine, calling it "a gift" because it captures the dangers of climate change while making people laugh.
"I think we all consider this a unique gift," said the Hollywood star. "We wanted to get the message across about the climate crisis, and Adam Mckay - director of the film - has hit the nail on the head in creating this story," he added.
For his part, DiCaprio said that he had been wanting to do a production about the climate crisis for some time, but had found it difficult to find the right approach. “Either you take an existential journey through a person's life, or you make a catastrophic movie where New York freezes over,” he remarked.
The fiction was released in theaters on Friday and on Netflix on December 24, and already has hundreds of reviews, both negative and positive, from fans and film experts who do not miss any details.
