Posted on Author Natalia AiroldiComments Off on Introducing Leonardo DiCaprio’s Deeply Alarming Neckbeard
We don’t know a lot about Leonardo DiCaprio’s next film, Don’t Look Up. We know it’s a satire about Leo and Jennifer Lawrence as two doom-mongering astronomers, that the first clip from it turned up on Netflix’s big round-up of all its 2021 films yesterday, that Adam McKay will direct, and that everyone’s in it: DiCaprio and Lawrence are joined by Timothée Chalamet, Meryl Streep, Chris Evans, Cate Blanchett, Ron Perlman, Jonah Hill and Ariana Grande….
Hello everyone. Today I am stopping by to leave some beautiful words to finish this complicated year. To bring love and joy. Hope you all enjoy it. Hugs, Taly.
In a parallel world, you are here, sleeping next to me, and I kiss your eyes. I am no longer afraid of loneliness because you exist, and you share yourself with me. In a parallel world, you are here, you wake up and tell me “I love you”, squeezing my hands tightly as if gently sliding the “never leave” that we fantasize since the movies told us what love was like, especially yours. In a parallel world, we get up to make toast and toast burns because we hang ourselves laughing. In a parallel world, your laugh is beautiful and constant, and mine is less loud and ramshackle. I don’t know if justice exists in that parallel world, or if God helps those who get up early. I don’t know what music is in fashion, if butterflies live there for more than one day, I just don’t know. And I do not care. In that parallel world I am stupid for you and I do not feel guilty that you are the sun that all my dreams revolve around. I don’t know what planet we live on or if there are others. I do not care. And if Copernicus listens to me, he kills me, but why do I want Saturn if your hug is enough for me. In a parallel world, you are here, yelling at me our differences and it fascinates us not to be alike at all. Your mom adores me, and your dad has flaws. We travel a lot, we make love, we burn our toasts again. In a parallel world, you are here, and death is far away. We have children, and they have your soul and spirit. I love you with sanity, because I learned to love. In a parallel world, you are here. Since in this one, you are a thousand miles away.

Leo joined the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) in celebrating NIAF’s virtual 45th Anniversary Gala and honoring Dr.Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on Saturday, October 31, 2020.
While COVID is keeping most of us at home these days, people like Dr. Anthony Fauci go to work each morning with one goal: to see our nation through the most devastating pandemic in a century, I am glad that the National Italian American Foundation is honoring his lifetime of commitment to public service during their 45th Anniversary Virtual Gala. We are fortunate to have Dr. Fauci’s leadership and guidance during these historically challenging times.
I congratulate him and I hope everyone will be safe and well.

Since New Jersey became the first state in the nation to incorporate climate change education across its K-12 learning standards, Leonardo showed his support for this action:
Hello. This is Leonardo DiCaprio.And I just want to say that last month, New Jersey became the first state in the United States to incorporate climate change across K-12 education standards. Congratulations!
Students are now gonna learn about climate change in every subject area. Climate change puts our water and our air at risk. It disrupts our livelihoods and impacts our health. No matter who you are or where you live, the climate crisis will change the way you live.
Thank you to New Jersey First Lady Tammy Murphy for her leadership and vision.
To all you students in New Jersey, we are counting on all of you to be the climate leaders of this generation. And to the students in the rest of our 49 states, contact your representatives and make your voices heard. New Jersey was the first, what state is gonna be next? well that’s up to you. Thank you for your time.
