Leo DiCaprio thanked 'British actor Daniel Day-Lewis' in his BAFTAs speech
Updated 9.39am
LEONARDO DICAPRIO TOOK home the Leading Actor award at last night’s Bafta ceremony for his Oscar-tipped performance in The Revenant.
Unfortunately, however, he irritated some people in his acceptance speech. DiCaprio humbly credited as his inspiration “so many British actors”, naming… Peter O’Toole and Daniel Day Lewis.
Leo declared:
Some people were not pleased.
Whoops!

Now in fairness, Daniel Day-Lewis has joint Irish-British citizenship. And Peter O’Toole apparently had two birth certificates, one from each country. But still. You can’t just let these things slide.
Leo’s words come, of course, after he memorably introduced ‘Dumble Gleeson’ at the SAG Awards. WHY DO YOU HATE IRELAND, LEO?
Leonardo DiCaprio, probably thinking about the 'British Isles' or some shit PA WIRE PA WIRE
This morning, DailyEdge managed to capture this rare image of Leonardo DiCaprio reacting to the news:
And this is before we even get to the feelings we have about Brooklyn winning Outstanding British Film. (At least there are good reasons for that, but hey… Saoirse Ronan! Iorla Ó Lionáird! All the gang!)
Anyway. Leo, please read this without delay.
