One fan of Leonardo DiCaprio
has paid 1.5 million dollars for a trip into space with the actor, during a
charity auction at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.
According to The Hollywood
Reporter, the winning bidder will get the chance to travel into space orbit on
a Virgin Galactic spaceship in a seat next to DiCaprio, Us magazine reported.
A portion of the proceeds from
the auction will go toward the AmFAR Cinema Against AIDS charity.
A second pair of seats was
also auctioned off on Thursday for a whopping 2.3 million dollars.
Initially, the trip was listed
in the auction booklet as a "once-in-a-lifetime trip to space with a
mystery guest," but Harvey Weinstein later revealed that the guest was
DiCaprio himself. (Source)
