Edward Norton told Jimmy Fallon on the “The Tonight Show” the nickname that he and his adventuring friends have for Leonardo DiCaprio. “We call him ‘Unlucky Leo,'” Norton said. The comedian had a stunned reaction and said, “That’s the one thing I would never call him.” The “Glass Onion” actor went on to explain how “The Great Gatsby” actor has had bad luck when it comes to extreme sports. Norton mentioned that DiCaprio’s parachute almost didn’t open while skydiving and his plane engine blew up while flying.
DiCaprio showed just how unlucky he can get when he nearly drowned in the Galapagos Islands. Norton explained the situation on “The Jonathan Ross Show,” mentioning that the “The Revenant” actor loves animals. “This flight of like 100 spotted eagle rays went by below us and I saw the look on his face,” he said, adding that he then watched his friend dive into the water with a camera. “I followed him because I thought to myself, ‘He’s chasing these things … he’s going to run out of air,’ and he did.”

Director Fisher Stevens explained the situation a little more. “I see Leo buddy breathing, because Leo’s tank was leaking oxygen, and Edward had to save him,” Stevens told GQ. He added that they did end up recording some usable clips despite DiCaprio running out of air. “We really bonded on that trip,” the director said. And it seems that the “Romeo + Juliet” actor learned from Norton.
