Leonardo DiCaprio announces he’s going to take a “long, long break” from movies
 |
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Damn you Oscars in not nominating him for ‘Django Unchained’! You’ve broken his little heart!
Leonardo DiCaprio announced today that he’s planning on taking a significant break from filming to concentrate on his environmental campaigning.
In an interview with Germany’s mass circulation daily Bild, the 38-year-old American actor said: “I am a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out.”
“I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment,” added DiCaprio, in comments published in German.
DiCaprio is currently starring in Quentin Tarantino’s blood-soaked spaghetti Western tribute “Django Unchained,” which picked up two Golden Globes on Sunday.
He has also recently filmed “The Great Gatsby”, directed by Baz Luhrmann and Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
He burnished his green credentials in the Bild interview, saying: “My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.”
He can improve the world a bit by continuing acting! Oh fine…. go save the world, but come back and make more movies! You can’t point to many DiCaprio movies that didn’t rock your world.

“I will fly around the world doing good for the environment”
Doesn’t that seem a bit redundant? Leo at least tries harder than others when it comes to walking the walk driving hybrids and putting his money where his mouth is on animal conservation.

Fly around the world ,no doubt, in a private jet to help the environment. And leave a carbon footprint to match that of Bigfoot!
