Report: Leo
DiCaprio Ditching Private Jet for Commercial Flight to Climate Change
Fundraiser
by Jerome Hudson 21 Jul 2017
Actor and
environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly planning to fly commercial
to his foundation’s annual gala and auction in St. Tropez next week, a
departure from his usual private jet-setting commute.
According to the New York Post‘s Page Six, The
Revenant star will fly commercial to the glitzy event in France on
Wednesday.
The founder of the environmental-focused Leonardo
DiCaprio Foundation has faced harsh criticism in the past for lecturing
Americans about the dangers fossil fuels pose to the planet while
simultaneously flying
across the globe on gas-guzzling private jets.

For instance, just days after DiCaprio told Charlie Rose in an interview in January 2016 that climate change
is “the biggest problem that mankind has ever had to face,” the Academy
Award-winner flew on
a private jet to the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in
Davos, Switzerland to denounce the “greed” of the energy industry.
In May of that year, the actor flew an estimated 8,000
miles from the Cannes Film Festival in France to New York,
where he received the Fishermen’s Ball’s “Big Fish”
award for his commitment to clean water and back to
France to give a speech at amfAR’s Cinema Against AIDS gala.

The A-lister’s gala next week will reportedly be
held at the plush vineyard Domaine Bertaud Belieu in Gassin, France
where a flock of stars, models, and moguls are expected to attend.
