'CONCERNED CITIZEN' DICAPRIO

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO has defended using his position as an A-list actor to campaign for the environment, asking the public to just treat him like a 'concerned citizen'.

Leonardo DiCaprio while filming 'THE 11TH HOUR'

The Departed star was in Cannes, France this month (May07) to promote global warming documentary The 11th Hour, which he co-produced, co-wrote and narrated.

DiCaprio tells American magazine Us, "I am completely aware of the fact that my mere attachment - being someone from Hollywood - will garner a certain amount of skepticism and criticism. Why should we listen to this person?

"I want to pose myself as a concerned citizen, not an expert."
