Not only is he a multi-million dollar actor, dater of models and star of many excellent memes – turns out Leonardo DiCaprio is also the greatest son ever. Last night at Cannes 2015, he became embroiled in an auction battle with Paris Hilton to buy his mum a Chanel bag she's always wanted. Aaaaaaaw.
The 40 year-old actor put down 10,000 euros to win the bagfor his mum Irmelin – a blue Neopreme flap bag embellished with flowers – pipping Paris Hilton to the post. Who, let's be honest, probably has an entire wardrobe devoted to Chanel bags. This also marks a continuation of Leo absolutely nailing it in the son department, after bringing Irmelin to the Oscars last year.
Although, of course, it wasn't just about getting cool stuff – the auction aimed to raise money to give poor children around the world access to vital heart surgery, and both Paris and Leo were instrumental in making this happen. 'Paris was great. She bid on many things, and Leo did too,' a source told People. 'Both she and Leo were so active during the entire auction. It was really nice to see.'
As well as Leo and Paris, there was an unnamed donor who wiped the floor with them in terms of donations – pledging 5 million euros ($5.58 million) for a private plane for the organisation to send doctors and nurses to the world’s most remote areas to perform surgeries and screen children for heart disease.
Warms the cockles, doesn't it?!
