IT’S ON LEO & MADELEINE WEST!

THE PAIR COULD BE TEAMING UP TO SAVE THE PLANET

Madeleine West was all smiles during an early morning walk in Byron Bay, NSW on February 16 – and it appears Leonardo Dicaprio could be behind the pep in her step! New Idea hears Madeleine, 41, has caught the Hollywood actor’s attention, thanks in large part to her tireless activism work.

Last month, Leo, a dedicated climate change activist, posted an Instagram video highlighting the conservation efforts of several organisations Madeleine is involved with. The former Neighbours star founded Help Home Heal, who is committed to planting 100,000 new rainforest trees, and is a spokesperson for Reforest Now.

“Thanks Leo for promoting the incredible wildlife sanctuary we are creating,” Madeleine wrote on her own account. “Anything is possible if we work together.”

Now, Leo, 47, might be planning a trip Down Under to meet Madeleine in person!

“There’s nothing Leo loves more than his environmental crusades … and a gorgeous woman,” a Hollywood insider tells New Idea. “So no doubt when he saw Madeleine’s video, he was in heaven.”

Leo has an affinity for Australia, having spent several months here filming The Great Gatsby in 2011.

“Leo’s considering coming back to campaign for Aussie environmental causes and would absolutely reach out to Madeleine. Leo is good friends with Margot Robbie, and he mentioned it to her. Margot gave Madeleine a glowing recommendation, as both a person and as an actress.”

Environmentalist Leo could be planning a trip to Australia and might want to set up a meeting with Madeleine (who was seen out in Byron Bay last week, left).

Madeleine was stoked when Leo shared a video of the important work she’s doing with several tree-planting charities.
