Leonardo DiCaprio is undoubtedly one of the most talented actors Hollywood has ever produced. The 'Titanic' actor, however, is yet to receive one of the most coveted recognition for his outstanding contribution to the film industry - The Oscars. Despite being nominated several times, the actor has never won the trophy.
However, looks like Leonardo may finally get an Oscar....from his Serbian fans, that is.
A group of Russians in the north-eastern Yakutia region are gathering gold and silver that will be melted down and made into an Oscar statue for Leonardo because they feel bad that he hasn't won the award yet, reported TASS.
Tatyana Yegorova, the woman behind the 'Oscar for Leo' movement told TASS, "Yakutia praises high-quality cinema and considers DiCaprio to be an actor who can inspire and delight his audiences."
The Yakutia version of the Oscar statuette will vary slightly from the original. Instead of gripping a sword, the Yakutia Oscar figure's head will look towards the sky, because "when a person looks at the sky, the stars, only then does he realize his true purpose and become a part of nature," explained Yegovora.
The report further said that the figure will also hold a Choron, a traditional three-legged goblet, "symbolizing peace and expressing the people's love for the actor," explained Yegorova.
Yegovora has claimed that around 100 Leo fans have donated to the cause so far.The statuette will be cast in silver and stand around 12 inches tall, depending on the number of donations.
However, the group hasn't figured out how to present the statue to Leo. But Yegovora is confident that they will figure out a way, stated the report.
