Leonardo DiCaprio has officially swapped red carpets for coral reefs, and honestly? We love this ocean-core era. The 50-year-old Oscar-winner-slash-environmental-dad was recently spotted in Formentera, Spain, channeling full-on Scuba Steve vibes as he filmed scenes for his new nature documentary. Yep, Leo’s diving deep—literally and emotionally—for the planet.
Decked out in a wetsuit that screamed “I’m here to save the Earth but also maybe win a surf competition,” Leo dove into the big blue to scoop up plastic like it’s his exes’ discarded texts. Not only was he cleaning up underwater trash like a marine Roomba, but he also brought along a troop of adorable eco-conscious kiddos to join the fight. Because nothing says “save the seagrass” like a bunch of 10-year-olds yelling “that’s litter!” at tourists.
The main star of this nature doc? Not Leo. It’s Posidonia Oceanica, a fancy seagrass that sounds like a Roman goddess but is actually a real MVP of the Mediterranean. She’s endangered, and Leo is here to tell the world, “Protect the Posidonia, people!”
After a hard day of ocean heroics, our soggy king was seen climbing aboard a very yellow boat—like, SpongeBob’s dream yacht—equipped with boom mics and presumably a snack stash. Probably something organic. Probably no straws.
Oh, and when he’s not underwater saving sea plants or recharging in a floating banana, Leo’s also starring in Paul Thomas Anderson’s next cinematic brain-scrambler, One Battle After Another. He even joined YouTube (yes, the actual website) just to drop the trailer. Midlife crisis? Nope. Midlife icon.
