In an interview with Giles Hattersley, young actor Timothée Chalamet says he met Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of Adam McKay’s Do n’t Look Up, and asked him for some advice related to his career. DiCaprio would have responded positively to his young colleague: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies!” Edward Enninful in the editorial accompanying the service by Steven Meisel, added: “Vogue is a space that celebrates women, in this historical moment, men certainly do not need more spaces, however there is something that seems to me to be at its best of old-fashion cases, at worst retro, in dividing genres into such closed boxes.
Fashion today is an expression of oneself, it is politics, it is a game, it is about what makes us feel good.”
DiCaprio’s defense of the environment
Leonardo DiCaprio has always been a great ecological activist: for years he has been fighting with public demonstrations, trying to involve numerous fans in the fight against climate change and union in preserving endangered species and collapsing ecosystems.
In 1999 DiCaprio devoted himself to travel, especially in South America, making documentaries that illustrate the emergencies of the Earth. He opens his own official website where ample space is dedicated to the environment and animals in danger of extinction.
He participates in world conferences on the increasingly scarce water supply and on the risk of desertification and wild deforestation; finally he meets the then president of the United States Bill Clinton, with whom he discusses the issues of environmentalism.
TIME and Playgirl magazines dedicate a cover to him. In 2017, through his foundation, he donated a million dollars to the victims of Hurricane Harvey. In early 2019 he mobilizes to support the petition launched by Change.org, to free eleven killer whales and ninety belugas held in small overcrowded cages on the east coast of Russia.
Six months after the complaint, all the animals were released. In 2019 he created an environmental foundation, the Earth Alliance, with which in August he donated five million dollars to save the Amazon rainforest ravaged by fires.
