Leonardo DiCaprio blasted as ‘snob’ for ‘disrespecting’ Fijian welcome: ‘The fake old act…’

Leonardo DiCaprio was criticised for seemingly disregarding a traditional Fijian farewell serenade, with fans calling his actions disrespectful.

Leonardo DiCaprio is under fire after a video surfaced showing him seemingly ignoring a traditional Fijian welcome ceremony at a hotel. The Hollywood star was captured on camera, engrossed in a phone call, walking past the performers without acknowledging their efforts. Social media users have since accused him of being “disrespectful,” with some labeling the behaviour as “snobbish,” calling for the actor to show more appreciation for the cultural gesture.

Leonardo DiCaprio labeled ‘snob’ and ‘disrespectful’

In a now-viral TikTok video, the Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio was seen leaving a hotel in Nadi on November 20 as staff lined up to perform a traditional farewell serenade. Wearing a dark cap, tracksuit, and sunglasses, the actor seemed to overlook the cultural send-off as he entered the foyer. Without pausing for a moment DiCaprio just took out his phone and started a conversation. He then quickly lowered his head before rushing to a waiting car.

Fans were left questioning his behavior, with some expressing their disappointment. “He didn’t even recognise the welcome,” one fan commented, while another wrote, “At least a quick wave or thank you would have been nice.” Many felt his lack of acknowledgment was disrespectful to the Fijian tradition.

“Don’t waste your energy, my Fiji whānau, he’s so disrespectful omg,” an offended Fijian wrote on social media. Some even criticised him for using a “fake call” method to exit the venue. “Haha, the old ‘fake call’ act. Gets in the car, drops the phone,” one user remarked. 

Leonardo DiCaprio’s 50th birthday bash

Leonardo’s recent appearance in Fiji comes just days after he hosted a lavish yet intimate birthday celebration at his Los Angeles residence on Saturday, Nov. 9. The 50th birthday bash featured a star-studded guest list, including Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Robin Thicke, April Love Geary, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyga, Teyana Taylor, Jamie Foxx, Bill Maher, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, Paris Hilton, and Cara Delevingne. The 50-year-old actor is also reportedly in a serious relationship with 26-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti.

However, the star-studded affair didn’t go down well with the neighbors. Many complained about the noise, traffic congestion, and overall disruption caused by the party. Videos obtained by Fox News Digital show irate residents expressing their frustration with the lack of consideration for their peace and quiet.

Jennifer Lopez felt she was ‘not good enough’ due to Latina stereotypes in Hollywood: ‘Imposter syndrome is real’

Jennifer Lopez opened up about her early days in the film industry and the importance of her ‘belief to belong’ which helped her to break certain moulds.

Jennifer Lopez has opened up about her initial years in Hollywood and how she used her self-belief to fight any doubts that crept in about her ability. The actor-singer, who has now spent over two decades in the industry, opened up about her challenges as a Latina actress in the film industry.

Jennifer Lopez on battling stereotypes

Appearing on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, JLo opened up about her early days in the film industry and how the change in Hollywood – regarding stereotypes and diversity – can be slow but still positive.

“I heard someone say that positive change is slow — and it is — but as long as we’re moving in the right direction, that’s what matters,” she said, adding, “When I started, there weren’t a lot of roles for Latinas. I was auditioning for parts with accents and stereotypes. I kept thinking, ‘Why can’t I just play a romantic lead? Why can’t I be the girl next door?’ That belief–that conviction that I belonged — was what helped me break those moulds.”

The actor, who started with roles in blockbusters like Anaconda before making a name for herself in romantic comedies, added that her journey wasn’t full of roses. Due to her upbringing in the Bronx as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents, Lopez admitted that she went through imposter syndrome in the initial years of her career.

“Imposter syndrome is real, especially when you come from neighbourhoods like I did,” she added. “But I’ve learned that it’s about what you tell yourself. You have to redirect that inner voice. Whenever the doubts creep in — ‘I don’t belong here, I’m not good enough’ — you need to replace them with, ‘No, I’ve worked hard. I do belong here.’ It’s a mindset that transforms everything.”

Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming film

The actor will be next seen in a biographical sports drama film titled Unstoppable. She will be playing the role of Judy Robles, the mother of NCAA wrestling champion Anthony Robles.

The film is based on the real-life story of Anthony Roble, a one-legged wrestler who defied all odds to become a champion. Directed by debutant Villy Goldenberg, the film stars Jharrel Jerome in the lead role. The film is produced by Jennifer’s estranged husband, Ben Affleck. The two began work on the project before they filed for divorce in August this year.
