Leonardo DiCaprio's aides have confirmed the movie star held secret talks
with Israel's Vice Premier Shimon Peres during his chaotic trip to his
girlfriend Bar Rafaeli's homeland last week.
Peres, Israel's former leader, requested a meeting with the Titanic star
after learning of his visit, and asked the actor and activist to use his
star power to help promote conservation and peace in the Middle East.
According to sources, DiCaprio was thrilled to meet the Israeli dignitary
and promised to help on both issues.
DiCaprio's representatives have confirmed the meeting took place, which
was a high point of an otherwise troubled trip for the actor. Two of his
bodyguards face charges after fighting with photographers during
DiCaprio's visit to a holy site, and the actor was forced to cut short
his trip on Thursday after learning his aunt had died. He flew to Germany
for the funeral.
