A player profile of Leonardo DiCaprio says that he is a regular at the high stakes tables in Las Vegas, and has become a friend of Doyle Brunson. Allegedly, Brunson has made a major investment in Leonardo’s latest film project – a documentary he is producing which examines the “unverified but intriguing theory of global warming and its impact on the environment.”
While Al Gore may not battle it out at the tables with Leo, it will be interesting to see how their two films about the environment face off.
The website allows fans of the game to rank their favourite players and Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared alongside megastars of the game as this week’s number five.
The site explains the page by saying, “LaunchPoker.com offers you a chance to say ‘Thank you’ to your favourite poker pro - by casting your vote for him or her. Vote and see how your favorite player is climbing up the popularity ladder.”
Leo does not feature on their all-time top 50 ranking – though Paris Hilton is rated above some professional players.
