Like we damn well needed any more
Leonardo DiCaprio has gone and treated the main lady in his life in a big way. Of course, we're talking about his mum.
5 pieces of career advice from your parents that you should really listen to
While in Cannes this week, the Oscar-winning actor gifted his mother a Chanel handbag costing $18,000, Page Six reports. The bag in question was being auctioned at the Heart Fund's Generous People Dinner Gala, where Leo snapped it up with his mum, Irmelin Indenbirken, in mind.
It seems bidding for expensive apparel at charity auctions has become somewhat of a tradition for Leo, who won an $11,000 bid for a bag at the same event last year. Again, the bag wasn't for one of his many hot supermodel girlfriends, but for his dear old mother. N'awwww.
Forget Kate And Wills, these are the celebrity parents we want to hang out with
It's not the first time Leo has proved how much he loves his mum, having included her in his infamous Oscars speech. 'I want to thank one more person,' he said of his mum. 'I didn't grow up in a life of privilege. I grew up in a tough neighbourhood in east Los Angeles and this woman drove me three hours every day to a different school to make sure I had a different opportunity.'
Excuse us while we well up. He finished his speech by saying: 'To my mother, it's her birthday today, this is for you.'
We're a sucker for a mummy's boy.
