Leonardo DiCaprio jumped into frozen lake to save his dogs
Leonardo DiCaprio jumped into a frozen lake to rescue his two dogs, he has revealed.
The Oscar winner was filming his new satirical comedy Don’t Look Up when his two Husky dogs fell into the lake near the accommodation he was staying in at the time, The Independent reported.
“Basically they both fell in a frozen lake,” DiCaprio told the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “And then I went in. I didn’t understand what you do at a frozen lake.”
DiCaprio’s Don’t Look Up co-star Jennifer Lawrence – who was also appearing on the podcast – then added to the story.
“One of the dogs fell in and he jumped in the frozen lake to save the dog and as soon as he pushed the one dog out of the pond the other one jumped in,” she explained.
The actor then jokingly referenced DiCaprio’s 2015 film The Revenant, which saw his character strip naked and sleep inside the carcass of a dead horse for warmth.
“And I’m sure you guys were all wondering – because I was too – he immediately got naked in the car,” she joked.
