While one called him a hypocrite and said, "He's literally the biggest hypocrite. " If you're too embarrassed to go then don't go. And if you do go, own it. This is just cowardly." Comment

Another questioned about his role as an environmentalist, "I bet DiCaprio doesn't give a fuck about the environment or climate. It's probably just some PR shtick to boost his image and get him cooperation with greenwashing brands." Comment

"Regardless, he's been a hypocrite for years. Lecturing us on climate change when he wins awards yet flies private and has the carbon footprint many times that of the average human," another added. Comment

"He actually does a lot for the environment, but he himself is not perfect. No one is. Also, his activism is not directed at you. He doesn't expect you to change your lifestyle; that's actually something he says in one of his documentaries (and gets rebuked for it). His activism is at the corporate level and he invests in renewables to try to get them up to snuff so people don't have to change their lifestyles." Comment

One said, "Its the hypocrisy that really bothers people, flying in on a private jet for a three day event after years of preaching about climate change and global warming. Greta has it right, get your ass there if you have to, but practice what you preach." Leonardo DiCaprio's activism
According to VegNews, the Oscar-winning actor's résumé is enough to show that DiCaprio is a powerhouse in the film industry. But his dedication to environmental activism arguably surpasses even his Hollywood success.
From producing impactful documentaries beloved by the vegan community to investing in plant-based companies and partnering with the United Nations to raise global awareness about climate issues.
DiCaprio has consistently used his wealth and influence to advocate for the planet.

Charlize Theron takes aim at guests who attended Jeff Bezos' $50 million wedding extravaganza

Actor Charlize Theron isn't holding back and is dishing out some serious shade to the celebrities who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Italy over the weekend. The Old Guard star ripped into the Amazon founder and his wife while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) on Saturday, reports Hollywood Reporter.

Final figure is out here Charlize Theron poses on the red carpet of the fifth annual Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.(Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP) She spoke about it when she took the stage to kick off the event, which raises funds to help CTAOP support the health and safety of youth in her native South Africa. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they s**k and we're cool,' she said. Charlize went on to thank attendees for 'taking the time to be a part of this'. 'Especially when the world feels like it's burning because it is. Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal,' she added. When the crowd clapped, the Oscar winner said 'yeah, f*** them'. About the wedding While Charlize Theron wasn't on the guest list, a star-studded crowd of A-listers and power players descended upon Venice to celebrate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's three-day wedding bash. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos got married in a lavish Venetian ceremony despite the ongoing protests. The Amazon founder and award-winning journalist hosted a lavish wedding ceremony on June 27, following several days of celebrity-filled nuptial festivities. Several A-list celebrities attended the wedding, which included Bezos' fellow billionaire Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, model Brooks Nader, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and family matriarch Kris Jenner. The wedding plans in Venice sparked outrage both online and offline, with demonstrations in the area demanding that the owner of Blue Origin pay more in taxes as a result of growing dissatisfaction with wealth and class disparities worldwide. The grand wedding, which concluded on June 28, the third official day of celebrations, is projected to have cost around $50 million.

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend sparks Tom Brady drama after wearing Gisele Bündchen-inspired dress at Jeff Bezos wedding

Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend shocks Tom Brady with awkward Gisele Bundchen moment at Bezos wedding (Getty Images) What was supposed to be a celebration of love between Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez quickly became a buzzworthy weekend of unexpected fashion choices and surprising celebrity moments. Held at the opulent Gritti Palace in Venice, the 'wedding of the century' welcomed nearly 200 A-listers from around the globe — but it was Leonardo DiCaprio 's girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, and NFL legend Tom Brady who subtly stole the spotlight. Gisele Bundchen déjà vu? Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend stuns in lookalike dress, causing stir with Tom Brady Vittoria Ceretti, the 27-year-old Italian model dating Leonardo DiCaprio since 2023, drew all eyes when she arrived at the wedding wearing a vintage Dolce & Gabbana gown — not just any gown, but the very same one Gisele Bündchen wore to the 2003 Met Gala. Though the dress had been updated with modern touches, including a tattered finish and sheer fabric, the resemblance was uncanny. Page Six was quick to point out the fashion déjà vu, and it didn't go unnoticed. The choice of attire sparked quiet murmurs in elite circles. After all, Gisele — DiCaprio's on-again, off-again partner from 2000 to 2005 — had left a mark not only on Leo's past but also on NFL icon Tom Brady's life. The dress unintentionally stitched together two high-profile men with one unforgettable woman. While Gisele had once reflected, 'We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously, and I wish him nothing but the best,' the flashback fashion moment was hard to overlook — especially with Brady in attendance. Brady, who dated Gisele starting in 2006 and married her in 2009 before divorcing in 2022, seemed unfazed. Instead, the former quarterback found himself at the center of entirely different speculation. During the reception on the scenic island of San Giorgio Maggiore, he was seen laughing and dancing with actress Sydney Sweeney . The two shared a chemistry that caught many off guard, sparking rumors of a potential romance. The 27-year-old 'Euphoria' star and the 47-year-old NFL legend appeared completely at ease, engaging in light-hearted conversation and spontaneous dance moves. Their flirty interaction became one of the night's biggest talking points, even overshadowing Ceretti's controversial wardrobe choice and Brady's brief stint in the DJ booth. Whether this playful encounter is the start of a new chapter in Brady's personal life or just a fleeting moment between two celebrities remains unclear. But for now, it has given fans and media plenty to speculate about. Bezos and Sanchez's $20 million wedding — complete with celebrity guests like Oprah, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner — may have had the glamour, but it was the undercurrents of nostalgia and new flirtations that truly lit up the weekend. In an event that brought past, present, and possibly future loves into one Venetian celebration, the fashion and feelings were as dramatic as the backdrop itself.
