Sundance Film Festival DiCaprio spilled the beans in an interview with the German publication Bild. “I am a bit drained. I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out,” he admitted to the paper. “I would like to improve the world a bit. I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.” DiCaprio’s devotion to the cause is well established. The actor has his own foundation, which according to its mission statement “supports efforts to secure a sustainable future for our planet and all of its inhabitants.” In addition, as he pointed out to Bild, he tries to live his own life according to green principles: “My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric. A normal person does not drive more than 50 kilometres (31 miles) a day. That can be done with a plug.” He’s even supported films that further his favorite causes, like Blood Diamond and the upcoming animal poaching film from WB.
