A Comprehensive Guide to What Leonardo DiCaprio Did This Summer

Like lightning bugs and action movies, Leonardo DiCaprio comes alive in summer. As temperatures rise, so, too, does DiCaprio’s profile. After a post-Oscar season hibernation, his natural habitats include, but are not limited to, Citi Bikes and charming Italian fishing villages. Once upon a dream in 2011, he and Blake Lively took a leisurely stroll through Portofino, and, according to the latest round of photographic evidence of what the Internet has anointed “Summer Leo,” the actor and his girlfriend, Camila Morrone, a model (obviously), snorkeled in Nerano this week. It is just one of many instances of DiCaprio living his best summertime life. Read on for the highlights.

At the end of June, DiCaprio took a momentary break from Instagramming whales to share the first photo of him and Brad Pitt in full ’70s regalia in the forthcoming, relentlessly hyped (although glaringly white) Quentin Tarantino film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Leave it to Leo to make weird brown bell-bottoms totally work.

With that out of the way, DiCaprio’s best summer ever for approximately the 20th summer kicked off in earnest with the Fourth of July party that he cohosted with fellow thespian Sean Penn, where volleyball was played and, according to TMZ’s reporting, “There were tons of chicks . . . a lot of whom were in their bikinis.” Noted.

This was the first sign that volleyball may have replaced leisurely bike rides as DiCaprio’s preferred summer cardio. But the action spiked—sorry—later in July, when DiCaprio and one of the top contenders for Hollywood’s “next Leo”—Ansel Elgort—were spotted in an intense beach volleyball game in Malibu. The band of hot white guys with whom DiCaprio would play later extended to Scott Eastwood, son of Clint, but still begs the burning question: If he’s auditioning heirs to his throne, why wasn’t Timothée Chalamet invited?

Last, but not least, after much bro’ing out, DiCaprio is rounding out his endless summer with a jaunt through Europe with Morrone, including the Italian snorkeling and a yacht trip through the South of France during which he looked inexplicably disgusted. Too much sun? Too much Mediterranean salt water? Or just a rare bout of summertime sadness? We get it. It’s not easy being Leo.
