Angry fans steal Leonardo DiCaprio’s shoes

leonardo_dicaprioLeonardo DiCaprio was standing outside of a Japanese temple in Kyoto last week when a couple of tourists asked if they could take his photo, according to the New York Post. He refused, pointing to a sign proclaiming photography was prohibited on the premises. So the tourists waited until DiCaprio took off his Nike Dunks to enter the temple, then swiped them. A source said: “They just ran off with them. The poor guy had to leave the place barefoot.”

    how can they be mad when there was a sign saying they couldnt get his pic? some people are ridiculous! he could have always called someone to deliver him new shoes, he has enough money to pay them for the shoes and delivery 😀

    Well, some people get mad at the silliest things. davide, I bet he did laugh it off! He definitely seems the type, not uptight at all.

    kind of funny, really. Taking his shoes?
    I’m glad he respected the rules of the temple with the photography. That was gracious, I’m sure there are a lot of stars that would’ve thought themselves above that.
