Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio wants to motivate people in the coronavirus crisis to donate with the chance of a supporting role in his next film. The “Titanic” actor and his fellow actor Robert De Niro joined an initiative on Wednesday that offers fans the chance to meet their idol in return for a donation.

A randomly chosen donor will get an extra role in the next film of the two, “Killers of the Flower Moon”. In addition to lunch with the two leading actors and former director Martin Scorsese, the winner will also be invited to the premiere party.

“If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to work with great Martin Scorsese – this is your chance,” DiCaprio said in a shared internet video with De Niro. The donations go to organizations that provide children from poor families, other needy people and helpers with food in the coronavirus crisis.

In the so-called “All in Challenge”, stars give donors the chance to meet in person – and then ask other celebrities to do the same. DiCaprio passed the baton to, among others, actor Matthew McConaughey, who wants to watch an American football game with a donor.

Other celebrities who take part in the action include pop singer Justin Bieber and basketball legend Magic Johnson. The organizers are hoping for a total donation of $ 100 million (€ 91.22 million).
