Leonardo DiCaprio is under fire from fans after appearing rather “disrespectful” on his Fijian vacation. As he was leaving the resort, the staff at his hotel prepared a traditional Fijian dance to bid him farewell, to which he completely ignored. Whether he didn’t realize the dance was for him or if he truly meant to ignore his fans is unclear, but fans are unhappy either way. Keep reading for more information.

Leonardo DiCaprio Brushes Off Fans
In a video posted to TikTok by @FijiVillage, Leonardo DiCaprio can be seen dressed in black with dark sunglasses and a dark baseball cap on—it almost looks like he came prepared to make a quick getaway. Rather, what looks to be a fan tries to point his attention over to the gathering of hotel workers and onlookers.
However, instead of watching the dance they’ve prepared for him, he appears to get a phone call, tucks his head down, and walks out of the hotel without so much as a glance at the hotel staff. As he’s walking by, a few of the workers can be seen trying to get his attention, but to no avail.
Fans Slam 'Disrespectful' Leonardo DiCaprio
Many Leonardo DiCaprio fans are quite unhappy with him, calling him "rude" and "disrespectful" in the comment section of the TikTok. "That old pretend to be on the phone call," one person said. "Well played."
"Being humble is the key to success," another person wrote.
"The way he pretended to talk on the phone," one user wrote. "Just so disrespectful."
"This is just rude," another person said. "He couldn't have taken 2 minutes out of his day to watch."
"Even if he did truly have a phone call," a final fan reasoned, "There was not even a thank you or a wave from that man."
