DiCaprio Attends Bezos Wedding as 90 Jets Land in Flood-Prone Venice

Leonardo DiCaprio, a prominent environmental activist and United Nations Messenger of Peace for climate change, attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish wedding in Venice, which saw over 90 private jets flown into the city, sparking significant backlash. Despite his climate advocacy, DiCaprio was criticized for both his attendance at the event with a large environmental footprint and his attempt to remain incognito by wearing a baseball cap and mask, which many fans saw as hypocritical. The wedding's environmental impact drew protests, including from Greenpeace, highlighting concerns over Venice's fragile ecosystem and the city's ongoing sinking problem exacerbated by human activity. Other celebrity guests, including Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and the Kardashian/Jenner family, also arrived via private jets, intensifying scrutiny on the event's carbon footprint. Netizens questioned the sincerity of DiCaprio's activism, pointing out the contradiction between his public environmental stance and participation in such an event. This controversy underscores the broader debate about celebrity environmental responsibility and the challenges of aligning public advocacy with personal actions.
