Leonardo DiCaprio was forced to return the gold statuette of the American Film Academy. However, we hurry to reassure fans of the talent of the famous actor. This is not about the "Oscar" for his role in the "Survivor", but about the prize of Marlon Brando for the painting "In the Port", received in 1955.
Loud scandal
In 2016, US law enforcement agencies launched an investigation into the theft of assets of the state investment fund of Malaysia, which was sponsored by the US government. There were suspicions that the film "Wolf with Wall Street," whose budget was $ 100 million, where Leonardo DiCaprio, produced by Red Granite Pictures, was played, was shot for this money.
During the proceedings it became clear that the producers of the picture in 2012 gave the actor, who at that time did not have his Oscar, a statue that belonged to Marlon Brando, as a consolation prize.
Cooperation with the investigation
42-year-old DiCaprio has repeatedly hinted that it's time to return not his reward, but he stubbornly refused to do it. Obviously, realizing that he smelled roast, Leonardo voluntarily handed over someone else's "Oscar" to the police, as well as other values donated to him by Red Granite Pictures, Western media reported.
This information has already confirmed the representative of the actor, saying that Mr. DiCaprio himself initiated the return of objects.
