Boris Johnson's Awkward Encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio at COP26

The former UK Prime Minister recounts an embarrassing meeting with the actor, marked by film quotes and a South African accent.

  • Boris Johnson describes meeting Leonardo DiCaprio at the COP26 summit in Glasgow in November 2021.
  • Johnson, starstruck, quoted lines from DiCaprio's film 'Blood Diamond' using a South African accent.
  • The encounter occurred as DiCaprio was heading to the bathroom, not to discuss climate change as Johnson initially thought.
  • DiCaprio, known for his environmental activism, had more substantial interactions with other British figures at the summit.
  • Johnson's memoir, 'Unleashed', where he recounts this incident, is set to be published on October 10.
