Leo Lightens Up

We certainly applaud celebs who take a stand on important issues - we also understand it can sometimes sound a little preachy.
Leonard DiCaprio apparently gets it too. While we've called him out on inconsistencies, like flying in private jets, Leo is easing up on environmental issues because he doesn't want to come across as "patronizing."
"Yes, I have solar panels and all that sort of stuff. However, the more I learn about the subject matter, I also realize that people find it patronizing. They feel like they’re being told what to do when somebody like me talks about the fact I have solar panels," Leo told the UK's Daily Express.
Leo says while people may care about the issues, there may be other factors that are beyond their control.
"Not everybody can get solar panels and not everyone can drive a hybrid car. It's not about blame or telling people how to live, it's just about saying, 'Let's all be aware of these issues'," Leo said.
What do you think about Celebs who use their star power to talk about political or social issues?
