When Leonardo DiCaprio jumped into a frozen lake to save his dogs on sets

Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has recalled a moment when he was forced to perform a scary stunt in real life. Recently, the actor revealed that he jumped into a frozen lake to rescue his dogs while filming his new movie Don’t Look Up.

During an interview, the Titanic star was encouraged by his cast members to recount the story.

“The funniest thing was, Leo has these two rescue huskies that are just absolute tornadoes. Jonah would send me pictures of your ripped-apart couch,” director Adam McKay began explaining, which prompted Jennifer Lawrence to say: “Tell the frozen lake story.” “Basically they both fell in a frozen lake,” Jonah Hill chimed in.

DiCaprio then shared: “And then I went in. Living in California, I didn’t understand what you do at a frozen lake.” Lawrence added: “As soon as he pushed the one dog out of the pond the other one jumped in.” The actor further elaborated that eventually he and his huskies all ended up in the lake, with his dogs licking each other. “The other one started licking the one that was drowning and then we all were in the frozen lake together,” Leonardo told the viewers.

Jennifer then informed that The Revenant star later got naked in the car to warm up his freezing body. “And I’m sure you guys are all wondering, I was too, he immediately got naked in the car,” said the actress.
