The enigma Leonardo DiCaprio
According to information from the
Daily Mail
, the man who describes the climate as "the most urgent threat to our species", on the poster of the ecological satire
Don't Look Up
on Netflix, was photographed aboard the Vava II, a pleasure boat belonging to the Swiss billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli. The machine is nearly 96 meters long, and is one of the largest and most polluting yachts on the planet. The full tank of fuel amounted to more than 300,000 euros. Very luxurious, it also has a gym, a swimming pool, a "beach club" and a cinema, and can produce up to 238 kilos of carbon dioxide per mile (equivalent to more one kilometer).
If the British daily specifies that the boat would have remained immobilized most of the time, the behavior of the actor does not pass with the fans, whom he has been urging for many years to act in favor of the climate.
Earning him since the nickname of “ecolo-hypocrite” on social networks.
Round trip by private jet
And this is not his first misstep. In 2016, the 47-year-old actor, Oscar winner for
The Revenant
, had again attracted the crowds of the web by absenting himself for a few hours from a gala in Cannes to go to New York, where the Riverkeeper Fishermen's took place. Ball. A green event during which he was awarded an award from the hands of Robert De Niro, for his daily awareness efforts on climate change. An ecological event for which the actor had traveled by private jet, the distance between Cannes and New York is equivalent to 13,000 km of carbon footprint.
Also according to the
Daily Mail
, a source close to the actor would have defended him regarding his little getaway off the Caribbean, stating that Leonardo DiCaprio does not own any yachts, and was only invited by the owners.
An argument that remains of little validity for some.
