Leonardo DiCaprio has not converted to Kabbalah. The star of "The Revenant" sparked speculation of him turning to Kabbalah after he was spotted wearing red strings similar to the religion's bracelet during an interview the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood in December 2015.
Leonardo was seen sporting the same red bracelet during the recent SAG Awards and during a meeting with Pope Francis on January 28. A source tells Page Six that the bracelet wasn't a Kabbalah bracelet. It is actually a bracelet he picked up at Angkor Wat in Cambodia when visiting with his family and best friend Lukas Haas in November.
According to the site, the bracelets, popular with tourists, are given by monks in return for a donation and are said to bring good luck.
Leonardo was recently criticized by Lung Association for smoking his vape pen at the 2016 SAG Awards last week. The organization tweeted, "Spot someone vaping at the #SAGawards Sat. night? Learn more about health risks of #ecigs: https://www.Lung.org/ecigs."
It's not clear what kind of substances that the "Titanic" actor put in his vape pen. Miley Cyrus seemingly called out the actor for smoking during the awards event. Appearing on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", the "Wrecking Ball" singer recalled, "I was 20 feet, 15 feet from Leonardo DiCaprio, sitting there with his mom. He was hitting a vape pen."
"But it wasn't him that was making me kinda nervous - I was feeling this emotion because there's an etiquacy [sic] of, when we're there, that you pass that s**t Leo! And he never did, so that was weird to me," she continued.
