A few days ago, people online started commenting that Leonardo DiCaprio had “really let himself go,” which is the polite-but-not-quite-so way of saying he’d gained some weight, had gotten fat. He’s clearly not letting that bring him down.
The fat-shaming began when paparazzi photos of the actor on a beach in Miami emerged online. There’s no denying, the man has gained some weight, but there’s really no sense in calling him names and telling him to hit the gym. It’s his life, his body, his choice.
DiCaprio continues to be on vacation, and though the other day he was on a yacht with friends someplace exotic, today’s Photo of the Day puts him firmly on land. With a watergun. And it’s the most amazing thing ever.
BuzzFeed obtained photos of Leo and a friend engaged in a serious watergun battle, with the one above going viral immediately. All of them are funny, but this one in particular stands out: it’s not just the photo we wish would be with us right now, it’s a pic proving that Leo doesn’t give a hoot about all that nasty talk about him, because he’s too busy enjoying his millionaire’s life.
In the end, Leo wins, haters. Also, expect this one to become a meme just like the Leo Strut did. In case you don’t remember it, here it is: it was snapped on the set of “Inception.”
