It’s been a whirlwind year for Leonardo DiCaprio, with the 41-year-old finally winning an Oscar.
But now, the actor and environmentalist is focusing his attention back on issues most pressing to him.
Leo’s charity (Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation) is set to host a fundraiser in St Tropez on July 20, with the funds going towards environmental conservation research.
The guest list will be nothing short of star-studded, with celebrity guests including Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron and Robert de Niro already announced.
Last year’s gala was a hit, with US$40 million raised.
The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, and special guest Andrea Bocelli will offer their musical talents with exclusive performances on the night.
Last year’s event raised US$40 million, with A-listers including John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, Orlando Bloom, Sir Elton John, Kate Hudson and many more turning out to support their pal Leo.
The former child actor’s passion for the planet’s welfare has been well-documented. He even dedicated part of his Oscars acceptance speech to raising awareness of climate change.
Leo’s celeb pals were on hand to support the actor at last year’s event.
“Climate change is real, it is happening right now,” the Revenant star said at the time.
“It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”
