Leonardo DiCaprio is Icy Hot

Mon, 02 April 2007 at 11:38 pm

Coverboys Leonardo DiCaprio and Knut the polar bear look icy hot on the April 2007 Green Issue of Vanity Fair. Inside is a sneak peek of 11th Hour, Leo’s documentary that examines the state of the global environment. Here’s the dish from V.F.:

While the Bush administration hems and haws over adding polar bears to the endangered-species list, the world celebrates the birth of Knut, the darling cub born in captivity at the Berlin Zoo. Now three and a half months old, little Knut has become a powerful (if not controversial) symbol of what this planet has to lose to global warming. Such ecological concerns are familiar to actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio, so it seemed natural to pair these two handsome boys on Annie Leibovitz’s cover for this year’s Green Issue. In these behind-the-scenes images, Leibovitz and V.F. senior photography producer Kathryn MacLeod capture Knut at home in Berlin, and DiCaprio at the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, in southeast Iceland. We brought them together the only way we could, in a photomontage.

Check out the video footage of Knut and more outtakes here.

Has anyone ever seen the show on Discovery and the Sci Channel called Planet Earth?

Polar bears cannot have more than one cub. Fathers eat their young when they come out of hibernation so the mother tries to hide them from him. It is their nature!!! They fight with the walrus for food!! They get clobbered most of the time because the walrus are better fighters and there’s more of them.

Instead of cloning sheep, maybe scientists should clone polar bears if they want them to survive.

They want to kill Knut because he is too friendly and dependent on people. They are even blaming a panda’s death on him just because.

Leo doesn’t use private jets, thats why its hard for him to avoid getting snapped at the airport, some people are so cynical.

Unlike many bandwagon jumpers, DiCaprio has been an environmentalist for years, Tam. He smokes, yes, but he also drives a hybrid car and lives in a solar-powered home. Do you? I seriously doubt it.

Your comments make you sound foolish.

agreed wingnut, and thats just a weak argument anyway, if you want to talk about air pollution and garbage a cigarette butt and the amount of smoke let out into the air by smoking is dwarfed by trash and fumes given off by factories and fast food restaurants etc….its not all the evvvill smokers ruining the environment.
