Following his date with girlfriend Nina Agdal [1] in LA, Leonardo DiCaprio [2] jetted off to France for the premiere of Before the Flood on Monday. The actor, who turns 42 next month [3], looked strikingly handsome as he posed for photos on the red carpet before making his way inside the Théâtre du Châtelet. While on stage, Leo — who's featured in the documentary along with Barack Obama and Pope Francis — gave an impassioned speech about climate change, a cause incredibly close to his heart [4].

Leo's latest appearance comes amid reports that he's been urged to give up his title as UN messenger of peace [5] with a focus on climate change because of his connection to individuals involved in a Malaysian corruption scandal. While Leo has yet to address the issue, a press conference was held in London last week, where the Bruno Manser Fonds, a Switzerland-based rainforest charity, gave Leo the ultimatum of either stepping down from his role or renouncing his connections to the "politically exposed persons" and returning corrupt money he allegedly received.
