LEONARDO DICAPRIO has a lot of love to give, and he’s been lavishing it on elephants since he’d just parted ways with his latest lady, BLAKE LIVELY. Really, where was he supposed to channel all that passion?
The “Inception” star has thrown his considerable celebrity clout into spearheading a campaign to shut down international ivory trade, entertainment news has learned. Putting all his weight behind The International Fund for Animal Welfare may net him his angel’s wings, but will he have any energy left after to devote to the next lady up in line?
It’s a huge undertaking, to be sure. The campaign will be involving seven million teachers, students and families across 15 countries around the world, and that may mean a lot of traveling for the Oscar winner.
“The ivory trade fuels conflict and strife,”
Leo declares adamantly.
“Elephants are killed by poachers so their tusks can be traded for weapons and drugs by international criminal organizations before becoming trinkets and jewelry for consumers.”
And these vanishing behemoths have caught Leo‘s fancy. After all, he’s one of a vanishing breed himself. Him and George Clooney both.
But his and his beloved elephants’ endangered species status may take a long time resolving. So ladies…you’d best be prepared to do all the wooing…including developing a passion for pachyderms…
