Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly dodged traffic by zipping around in a diplomatic car. The Oscar-winning actor is rumoured to have been avoiding London's jams after being loaned the luxury bright blue Range Rover with blacked-out windows by an Ivory Coast official, stated reports.
"It's no secret that Leo has friends in high places but even by his standards this is well connected. All diplomatic cars are clearly recognizable via their number plates and more often than not the person at the wheel has diplomatic immunity so speeding or jumping a red light now and again wouldn't be a concern," a source told a media organization.
The usual speeding rules London's millions of drivers are bound by are generally dodged by diplomatic cars like the one said to be used by Leonardo from his West African connection. Even though cars are technically still held to UK rules of the road, they are often ignored by the police when it comes to traffic offences and is driven by chauffeurs or security exempt from prosecution under diplomatic immunity.
The actor was spotted partying with models Georgia Grace Martin and Nour Rizk at the Chiltern Firehouse on Saturday, September 16. He shielded himself behind a face mask and donned one of his signature LA Lakers baseball caps as he arrived at the celebrity spot.
DiCaprio has been hit with more backlash over his taste for younger models after he was seen publicly kissing Italian model Vittoria Ceretti in Ibiza last week. The pair were spotted during a recent visit to Hi Ibiza nightclub on the Spanish island.
