Cannes: Graydon Carter Pulls Off the Party of the Festival with Holy Trinity of Leo, Marty, De Niro, Plus the Rainforest Amazonia Fund Gets Some Love with Leo at Swanky Gala
May 24, 2023
No question, hands down, Graydon Carter bested everyone in Cannes party land last night. […]
Carter grabbed the Holy Trinity of stars with Leonardo di Caprio, Martin Scorsese, and Robert De Niro celebrating their huge success with “Killers of the Flower Moon” ;
Carter co-hosted the party with Warner Discovery owner and chief David Zaslav. The pair welcomed Sting and his activist-actress-stunner wife Trudie Styler, plus Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Lily Rose Depp, Jason Statham and even Boy George turned up! […]
You know, a Leo sighting is like a papal blessing on a social event. A couple of nights earlier, Di Caprio attended the Better World Fund gala the Hotel Carlton where he came to support the rainforest. The dinner, given by Akbaraly Foundation, assisted by Amazônia Fund Alliance program co-founder and renowned organizer Thierry Klemeniuk, raised substantial funds and featured indigenous dignitaries who were flown in especially for the lively — and moving — evening. […]
What’s interesting about Leo is that he’s not slouching around in his baseball cap clamped down on his head. He’s been promoting “Killers of the Flower Moon” with zest probably because he knows how “exceptionnel” it is. He’s going to have a big Fall come award season!
Leo wrote on Instagram: “I was honored to spend time with Sônia Guajajara, Brazil’s Minister of Indigenous Peoples, Célia Xakriabá, Member of Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies, and Lily Gladstone, Actor in Killers of the Flower Moon at the event in Cannes, France to support the Indigenous people leading the conservation of the Amazon rain-forest.
My organization @rewild and our partners stand with Brazil’s +900,000 Indigenous people from 300 Indigenous groups.”
