When asked in an interview who he was going to vote for in the upcoming Presidential election, heartthrob extraordinaire Leonardo DiCaprio had this to say to Entertainment Tonight:

“I’m going to vote for the candidate that I believe has the better environmental policy. I think that in the last eight years we could have done an incredible amount to change this country; be less reliant on foreign oil and start to develop alternative ways of getting energy through wind and solar power. I wish we’d have done that in the last eight years, but we didn’t. So I’m going to vote in a way where I feel that we’re going to start to finally make that transition.”

He has always been an environmental-man and we love that about him!


Here is Leo with famous polar bear cub, Knut!

What issue do you most care about in the upcoming elections?

The biggest issue in this election for me, aside from the usual "War" answer is environmental protection and the exploration of alternative sources of renewable energy, so I think Leo's definitely on par with the pulse of this nation's youth. As for the candidates, there's no question that Senator Obama is the ONLY choice we have to ensure a better America for the future.

Vote smart. Vote green. Vote Obama.

Environment is important in this election, but more so how do we lower our dependence on foreign oil, while not further harming our environment.

I am glad Leo took a stance and is stating WHY he will be voting the way he is, not simply saying 'Vote candidate X'

I agree with him. If we don't figure out a way to cut down on our dependence on oil, we'll continue setting a bad example for countries that are experiencing a fast rate of development (like China) and burning up fossil fuels at an outrageous pace.

I am confused as to why all these people keep saying that Obama is the right choice for the election. Clearly they have their facts wrongs, or maybe they don't have any facts. Obama will do NOTHING for this country. Mccain "08"

The funny thing is, most of the people voicing their support for Obama won't even vote. So I'm not truely worried. We need a man with experience who actually served his country. Not a corrupt South Chicago lawyer who thinks its OK to kill babies and not support the troops. Oh yeah did I mention Taxes? Mccain "08"
