Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio celebrates his birthday on November 11 and has turned 46 this year. Known as one of the best actors in cinema, the Oscar-winning actor has been a part of blockbuster films which are loved globally. Apart from being an incredible actor, Leo is also an environmentalist and has been talking about climate change concerns. While addressing the environmental issues, the actor has also shared his thoughts on India's issues from pollution, saving the river and more.
Leonardo DiCaprio has a huge fan base in India and is often recognised as the 'Titanic' actor in which he plays the iconic role of Jack Dawson. Talking about India, the actor had visited the country back in 2015 without much hullaballoo. During his stay, Leo paid a visit to Taj Mahal too and clicked a selfie which instantly broke the Internet.
Talking about his visit, a person had narrated to Hindustan Times, "He reached Taj around 7.15 am and left around 9:30 am on Saturday. He was wearing a cap, black sunglasses to conceal his identity and was surrounded by bodyguards, who donned an all-black look. They were trying hard to keep the visit low-key. Whenever someone tried to get close to DiCaprio or tried to click his photographs, the people were asked to leave him alone."
While a source had said, "There was one foreigner, who identified the Hollywood star and approached him, but the bodyguards came forward and said 'No photographs. Go'"
The source further said, "He roamed inside and around the vicinity and then sat in a golf cart and went out. There was a still photographer, who was clicking his photographs."
They added, "He admired the monument to the fullest and fell in love with its story. He was here with his mother and is in India to shoot a documentary. He wanted to explore the whole vicinity of the monument before it started getting crowded so that he can click photographs."
Back in 2015, Leo had shared a photo posing with Sunita Narain, the Director of the Centre for Science and Environment when he visited New Delhi. The actor wrote on his Instagram page, "Had a chance to sit down with Sunita Narain, Director of the Centre for Science and Environment, in New Delhi to discuss the effects of climate change and the forthcoming global commitments for #COP21. #GlobalGoals."
