Leonardo DiCaprio to Speak at State Department’s ‘Our Ocean’ Conference

by Andrea Seikaly

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to speak at the State Department’s “Our Ocean” conference Tuesday morning.

Secretary of State John Kerry will introduce DiCaprio, who will speak immediately after a video appearance by President Obama.

“I’m pleased that Leo DiCaprio is lending his powerful voice to our call to action to work together to protect the world’s ocean,” said Secretary Kerry.

Kerry invited the “Wolf of Wall Street” star to the conference because of the dedication that he and his Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation have demonstrated in efforts to protects the world’s oceans and the environment. In February, the DiCaprio Foundation awarded the advocacy group Oceana a $3 million grant to protect the ocean habitat and vital marine species.

I heard “Rocket Man’ on the radio this morning so I think I’m qualified to testify on behalf of NASA.

I also saw “Who Killed the Electric Car” so I’m going to fill in as head excuse maker for Barra on the latest GM recalls.
