Simply Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo has reportedly spoken with Mann about joining the film. If he commits, his star power could be precisely what’s needed to get the project greenlit. While it’s unclear which role DiCaprio would play, his involvement would add yet another big name to an already stacked list of rumored casting.

These are the perks of signing on the dotted line with Rolex. Shortly after the Crown announced its new Land-Dweller collection, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted wearing it at CinemaCon.

Rolex had a Sea-Dweller for divers plumbing the ocean’s depths and a Sky-Dweller for travelers criss-crossing the globe’s airways. All that was needed was a watch for—well—everybody else.Now we have it in the form of the Land-Dweller, the first new collection since the debut of the 1908 in 2023.

The new design draws inspiration from the brand’s Oysterquartz models from the late 1970s. The new Land-Dweller shares its predecessor’s integrated bracelet design, a first for a Rolex since the Oysterquartz’s discontinuation in 2001. For those for whom the siren call of the Gérald Genta-penned Royal Oak and Nautilus is simply too powerful to resist, the Land-Dweller provides welcome relief—plus the cachet of a watch with a famous coronet on its dial. (How available it will be to folks who didn’t finally get their Oscar for The Revenant is still a mystery.)

Rolex‘s longtime alignment with cinema extends to its sponsorship of the Academy Awards since 2017 and its status as a founding supporter of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures — and now the luxury watch brand has welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio into the Rolex family.

The Oscar-winning actor was named on Tuesday as the latest Rolex “Testimonee,” the watch brand’s appellation for its stable of brand ambassadors. In an announcement on Rolex’s site, the Geneva-based brand referred to DiCaprio as a “Hollywood icon and climate champion … renowned for his transformative performances and his tireless advocacy for environmental causes.”
