Leonardo DiCaprio Slammed As A ‘Hypocrite’ And ‘Fraud’ For Fleeing Los Angeles Fires On A Private Jet After Calling Himself A ‘Climate Champion’

Hundreds of thousands of people in the Los Angeles area are being advised to evacuate as the wildfires rage on, including Leonardo DiCaprio. However, the Oscar winner is in hot water with fans after photos were snapped of him evacuating with his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, on a private jet. While this is a commonplace for most celebs, DiCaprio is a self proclaimed “climate warrior,” and it’s not a secret that private jets are horrible for the environment. Keep reading for more information.

Last Friday, DiCaprio and Ceretti were spotting exiting a private jet in Cabo San Lucas, apparently taking refuge from the wildfires in Mexico. In the photos snapped by paparazzi, DiCaprio didn’t even appear to be trying to hide his choice to take a private plane, dressed in a casual hoodie and baseball cap, while his girlfriend at least made an attempt to go incognito, dressed in an all-black outfit.

This choice comes after the 50-year-old pronounced himself as a “climate warrior” or a “climate champion,” on numerous occasions. DiCaprio has reportedly funded over $80M in grants for climate change and often promotes eco-friendly initiatives and environmental conservation efforts on his Instagram page.
