WATCH: Leo DiCaprio meets the Pope
Leonardo DiCaprio had a 15-minute meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican today.
The 41-year-old actor had a 15-minute private meeting with the Roman Catholic authority, 79, at the Vatican in Vatican City, based in Rome, Italy, to discuss climate change.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "Leo explained that he wanted to discuss a subject they both have very much at heart: protecting the environment and climate change."
However, the 'Revenant' star didn't turn up empty handed as he reportedly gave the Pope a hardback book jam-packed with Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch's stunning art work.
And it seems the short meeting went well as Leonardo reportedly kissed the Pope's ring and thanked him in Italian.
Climate change is a subject very close to Leonardo's heart as he recently pumped $15 million from his own foundation to conservation projects around the globe.
The Hollywood hunk - who set up the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) in 1998 to protect the world's last wild places - confirmed his donation in the speech recently, insisting "generosity" is vital when it comes to the world's future.
LDF has awarded $30 million grants and supported more than 65 organisations since it was founded.
