Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is living up to his green name after he was spotted cycling around London.
Leonardo, 34, was seen cycling in Regent’s Park in London recently as he is in the British capital to film his new movie Inception.
A source said: “He was going at a good, steady pace until it looked like he was lost and stopped to get his bearings.”
However, the star didn’t have much luck as he was hit by a downpour of rain when he went to continue with his ride.
The source added: “Within minutes of him getting back on his bike the heavens opened.”
Leonardo has spoken out about keeping green in the past and is an owner of the eco-friendly car Toyota Prius.

A property lawsuit against actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been dropped by a judge in LA.
The 34-year-old actor and his cousin Robert Hrtica were sued in 2007 by couple Ronald and Joan Linclau for trespass, nuisance and negligence.
The couple were looking for at least $250,000 in damages after, according to their lawsuit, DiCaprio had a basketball court built outside his home in 2007 that they claim excavated some of their land and removed their plants.
The couple insisted that the home improvement undermined a slope that was behind their Hollywood Hills home and the support for their swimming pool.
They also claimed that DiCaprio knew the work would affect his neighbours’ property and ignored their demands.
However, DiCaprio’s lawyers say in his court papers that the couple’s installation of an “illegal railroad tie retaining wall” could have caused the destabilisation.
The actor’s legal team reportedly filed cross complaints against the contractors and the couple, requesting that the firm pay for any costs obtained against him.

Leonardo DiCaprio was left barefoot after US tourists stole his shoes from outside a Japanese temple.
A pair of fans spotted the Titanic star at a hilltop shrine in Kyoto last week and asked him to pose for a photo with them.
But when he refused – pointing to a sign that said picture-taking was prohibited – they waited for him to go inside then pinched his Nike Dunks trainers.
A source told a US newspaper: “They just ran off with them.
“The poor guy had to leave the place barefoot.”
A representative for Leo, 34, had no comment.

Actress Kate Winslet, a 2-time Golden Globe winner is all set for more glory. The actress has been nominated not once but twice for the same category at the BAFTAs or British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards – Best Actress.
The jury members of the BAFTA have chosen Kate for her role in “The Reader” and also for “Revolutionary Road” in which she stars along side her ‘Titanic’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.
Winslet will be facing stiff competition from the likes of Meryl Streep who has been nominated for her role in the movie ‘Doubt’ while the other actresses nominated are British actress Kristin Scott Thomas for ‘I’ve Loved You Too Long’ & Angelina Jolie for The Changeling.
I think Kate is most deserving. She’s been passed over so many times. However, I also think there are too many G-D awards shows! Kate and Leonardo make a cute couple. I don’t know where her husband fits in, but I guess that’s ok.
