Leonardo DiCaprio claims to care about the Earth. He also blames mankind for the threat of climate change. But hes unwilling to let his passion for the planet get in the way of his Oscar preening.
Together with a fellow actor, DiCaprio flew a makeup artist 15,000 miles round-trip across the Pacific Ocean to tidy up their eyebrows for the 2017 Oscars, according to the Independent (UK). Dicaprio and fellow actor Tobey Maguire insisted on seeing brow artist Sharon-Lee Hamilton, despite the fact that she lives in Sydney, Australia 7,500 miles from Los Angeles.
DiCaprio must have forgotten that in his 2016 Oscars acceptance speech he claimed climate change was the most urgent threat facing our entire species, as well as and his Earth Day 2016 declaration that our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground, where they belong.
Or perhaps DiCaprio views climate change as a threat second only to untidy brows.
Either way, the actor has an eyebrow-raising history of climate hypocrisy. Forbes magazine identified DiCaprio one of the big polluters in March 2016 because of his multiple homes and the private jets and yachts he regularly charters.
DeCaprio himself asked if are we too late to stop climate change and blasted the supposed corporate greed of the coal, oil and gas industries in January 2016, all while continuing to live a lifestyle far more lavish than the average American.

This is on the level of hypocrisy of Ban Ki-moon (past Secretary General - UN).
After the UN General Assembly closed for the year, Ban Ki-moon was scheduled to head home to Korea. On his way he was to stop at some International Environmental Assembly to give an address. So far so good. However, instead of simply flying north to Korea, this phony flew all the way back to New York for one day and then traveled back half way around the world to Korea.
What could have been so important? The UN was closed.
Ban Ki-moon had tickets to a Broadway show.
I’m not sure I want to live in a world where there is such a thing as an eyebrow artist.
Perhaps that really is a job that an American won’t do.
No, that’s for you and me to do
I dislike this guy so much that I “break wind” when ever I see his face or hear his name. That is bad for the environment and it is not my fault, he should just shut up and disappear!
To each his own. If he pops up on my tv screen, the channel gets changed quickly. Can not stand DiCaprio. He’s creepy looking and is reminiscent of a carney dude down the freaks’ alley.
There are eyebrow artists?
Who knew?
Absolutely wonderful performance.
It's when he went from there to Titanic that the fame went to his head worse than most.
Strong with this one, the hypocrisy is.
Oh...that was a Brad Pitt movie.
I don’t even know who Craprio is.
“Im not sure I want to live in a world where there is such a thing as an eyebrow artist.”
It’s much worse than that. There are “procedures” to bleach, enhance and beautify areas you wouldn’t think receptive to, or even candidates for beautification. I won’t elaborate.
I enjoyed `Fury’ except for, as you say, the premise that one Sherman is surrounded by an SS battalion equipped with panzerfaust, yet unable to ya da ya da ya da.
So it kind of knocked the stuffings out of the plot.
And Brad Pitt’s eyebrows needed tweezing.
This will never be covered by the Big Lies News Media.
He needs to buy himself a pair of cheap tweezers at
Walmart and pluck his own eyebrows.
I liked him in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.
He played a retarded guy.
Oh, wait...
On a similarly self-indulgent note, I’ve heard Cher has a full-time Zipper on payroll. She pays someone to zip/unzip her clothes, so as not to damage her manicure.
Sadly I know what you’re talking about.
