The actor who is also a green crusader was in Vatican to meet with the
Pope and discuss their mutual interest on environmental matters.
'Your Holiness, thank you for granting me this private audience with
you,' DiCaprio said in Italian as he arrived in the Apostolic Palace and
kissed the pope's ring.
He gave the pope a cheque from his charitable foundation and presented
him with a book of works by the 15th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus
Bosch.
'As a child I didn't quite understand what it all meant, but through my
child's eyes it represented a planet, the utopia we had been given, the
overpopulation, excesses, and the third panel we see a blackened sky
that represents so much to me of what's going in in the environment,'
DiCaprio told the pope.
