Leonardo DiCaprio called out for ‘disrespectful’ act in Fiji as he checks out of hotel

Leonardo DiCaprio called out for 'disrespectful' act in Fiji as he checks out of hotel

As someone who has spent countless hours watching Leonardo DiCaprio grace our screens with his exceptional acting skills, I must say that it is disheartening to witness such an instance of seemingly disregard for local customs and hospitality. While I understand that celebrities crave their privacy to some extent, the traditional Fijian welcome ceremony seems like a small price to pay for the warmth and beauty of their culture.


This week, it was noted that Leonardo DiCaprio failed to attend a customary Fijian farewell ceremony before leaving his hotel in Nadi.

On TikTok, there’s a video showing a 50-year-old Hollywood star exiting the hotel, with staff gathering to sing a cheerful goodbye song as he departed.

Leonardo, donning black attire and shades, seemed to answer a phone call shortly after entering the lobby, while hotel employees stood by to bid him goodbye.

The Titanic star then quickly dipped his head down and rushed past the crowd to an awaiting car.

A significant number of admirers found it unusual that Leonardo didn’t respond to those who were singing to him, and a few even deemed his actions as showing a lack of respect.

‘Leonardo – Should’ve acknowledged the Fiji welcoming party,’ one person said.

‘Don’t waste your energy my Fiji [family], he’s so disrespectful,’ another commented.

A third person concurred, stating, ‘He should have at least returned our country’s greeting. There’s no place quite like Fiji.’

One fan commented, “He completely disregarded the friendly gesture,” while another put it this way, “No sign of appreciation or even a nod.

Some even accused Leonardo of ‘pretending to take the phone call’. 

Yet, some people justified Leonardo’s quiet exit, with one commenting: “Perhaps this is his initial visit to Fiji… Let him enjoy himself in peace.

Someone mentioned that the team should employ good judgment and understand that A-list celebrities generally dislike receiving such attention in public.

‘Well at least they know not to do it again and respect his privacy,’ another person added.

After Leonardo’s birthday celebration with an illustrious group of friends like Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg, the journey follows suit.

The party took place on a private estate overlooking the Hollywood Hills, however, the actor employed the services of an elite, members-only club to keep the event discreet, as reported by Page Six.

Leonardo had guests cover the cameras on their phones with stickers from the San Vicente Bungalows.

At the party, there were 500 attendees who concealed their mobile devices using stickers. However, the organizers prepared an additional 700 stickers as a precautionary measure.

Many attendees headed directly to Leo’s following the early hours of the Baby2Baby gala. As a source explained, “Essentially, everyone from Baby2Baby went there afterwards.

Additionally, Leonardo has just marked the first year of dating his 26-year-old model companion, Vittoria Ceretti.

She is the first long-term girlfriend to break ‘Leo’s Law’ and survive his 25-year-old ‘cut off’.

All his relationships with well-known individuals such as Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, Erin Heatherton, and Nina Agdal concluded prior to each of them turning 25 years old.

Prior to his relationship with TV actress Camila Morrone, who was famously known for her role in the popular Amazon musical drama series “Daisy Jones & The Six,” he ended their five-year partnership a few weeks before her 25th birthday.

Following a fleeting romance with model Gigi Hadid, who was 27 at the time (though she may have seemed older), I found myself drawn to the captivating Victoria Lamas, a 23-year-old up-and-coming star. This sudden turn of events led to a humorous comment from my father, actor Lorenzo Lamas: ‘I advised her to treat our relationship like a vacation. Savor it as fully and for as long as possible while it lasts.’

The relationship imploded after a couple of months.

Leo first encountered his current partner, Vittoria, during the Cannes Film Festival last May. However, it’s said that their relationship didn’t solidify into something serious until approximately a year later.

The producer commented, “He and Vittoria appear content together, yet she’s older according to his perspective. It’s possible that she could persuade him to settle down for good, though I’m skeptical about that.
