He didn't hold back.

Trump hasn't got many celebrity fans, has he?

Madonna and Katy Perry are happy to go topless for Hilary. But when it comes to Trump, the only celebrities speaking out are the ones speaking out against him.

The latest to jump on the bashing Trump bandwagon is Leonardo DiCaprio. Choosing not to mince his words, Leo said that Trump should not be allowed to hold public office and also announced his plans to make a plea to voters via a film to be shown in cinemas in the run-up to election day.

Speaking at the South by South Lawn Festival, he said: "The scientific consensus is in and the argument is over. If you do not believe in climate change, you do not believe in facts or in science or empirical truths and therefore, in my humble opinion, should not be allowed to hold public office."

Leo led a climate change panel alongside President Obama and top climate-change scientist Dr Katherine Hayhoe ahead of the screening of his film Before the Flood.

The film highlights the effects of climate change, including hotter and colder temperatures, extreme storms and droughts, all of which Dr Hayhoe warns will continue to happen unless we take greater steps to curb climate change.

This isn't the first time Leo's spoken out about climate change. In fact, he dedicated part of his Oscar-acceptance speech to the issue.
