Fisher Stevens, who has directed Leonardo DiCaprio's documentary on climate, has revealed that the actor nearly death experience in 2010 before work on the film even began.
The 41-year-old heartthob has a new documentary on climate change titled "Before the Flood". Stevens, in an interview with GQ, said the Oscar-winning star nearly drowned on their first expedition in the Galapagos and had to be saved by Edward Norton.
"The second time we properly hung out together was in 2010 when I was invited to film [oceanographer] Sylvia Earle for a TED conference expedition to the Galapagos. Leo was on the expedition," Stevens recalled.
"I was filming Sylvia and I had this little easy camera to shoot underwater, and he was Sylvia's diving buddy, so I said, 'Would you film Sylvia?' And he said, 'Yeah I love it man, I love it'," he continued.
"I was diving buddies with Edward Norton. So we go down and we see 300 Eagle Rays and Spotted Rays and it was an amazing dive. Leo bolts away with Sylvia, and Edward goes in front of me and the next thing I know after twenty minutes I'd lost them all.
