Leo Drives Under Cover -- Literally!

Leonardo DiCaprio is such a good driver, he doesn't even need to see where he's going!


TMZ was outside Opera last night when Leo and buddy Kevin Connolly tried to make a sneaky escape -- DiCaprio trying to drive with his face covered to avoid the paps. Snap me if you can!

Leo's Lexus got a little too close to the papswarm, with one photog angrily yelling, "Wanna hit somebody, bitch? Why don't you get out and hit somebody?!" A few cameramen then ran after his car as Leo became the departed.

1. He's not hiding, he's probably sheilding his eyes from all of the flashes. Quit trying to blind these poor people already!

4. For Heaven's sake.......let these people alone. The way they are hounded is insane. I like Leo, but I could care-less about seeing a picture of him coming out of a club and driving away! Give it up and become a telemarketer.....you won't have to worry about getting run over with a car then!

5. I realize that reading this stuff contributes to the problem of celebrity harassment- but most of us don't care if Leo is leaving a restaurant. We don't care about their daily lives- stuff that we also normally do. It's mundane. If he ran someone over because he was too close, that is really their problem. Some paps are nasty thugs and will run over anyone on the sidewalk to get a boring picture.

6. That’s crazy! They should take their pictures and then back off. So where is Leo’s Prius?

7. That is a little much. I kind of actually felt sorry for him.

8. C'mon....how much is enough?

I wonder how any one of the people who incessantly hound celebrities would like some of the same treatment when they are off-duty and trying to enjoy life.

How would any of you people like to be surrounded by a bunch of idiotic, eager beavers, who are trying to get that one good shot, scratching YOUR car, blinding them over and over again with bright flashes, and then expect that you would be able to see to drive with care, while idiots are standing in front of your car.

I like your site, and I like to watch the videos, but one day soon, someone is going to be hurt or killed accidentally because of this crap. I personally will not muster any sentiment other than to shake my head and feel that the pap asked for it. The fact that it hasn't happened enough times, is the only reason why you people still get away with it.

Personally, I think it's high time for a distance law to be enacted nationwide, keeping paps at a distance of no less than ten feet from any automobile when an engine is running and the "target" is clearly attempting to depart the scene. For that matter, if a celebrity makes it clear that they are not interested in any interaction, there should be an immediate backing off, or they ought to be allowed to pull a gun on the lot of you for self-protection.

I don't see alot of professionalism in what you people do anymore. I sure don't see any respect. The profanity expressed at Leonardo when someone almost got hit while he was attempting to leave, really exposes the fact that it was way past time to back off of him and his vehicle. He laid down on the horn twice. He shouldn't have had to do it once.

No one, no matter how famous, should have to put up with multi-minutes of flashing bulbs and people swarming their vehicle. Give these people a break.

9. These paps are desperate to make a living and will do anything, including risking their safety, to get a shot they can sell. But in the meantime they are demeaning themselves with their frantic and frenzied hunting of celebrities. Do these pappies know or even care how pathetic they look, like a bunch of bottom feeding losers? Probably not. They have no respect for themselves. Even starving buzzards at a kill look classier than these low life scavengers.

10. Leo, who is that boi ? You bitch. You were suppose to be at my house last night at 9. Hello ?
Alright, call me....................

11. Amazing video... that papz and autograph frenzy is scary. No wonder he's so reluctant to cooperate. If he had done as asked, he might have never been able to leave... or worse.

I bet Leo's driving the new hybrid Lexus.

12. you people at tmz are sick, i feel sick to my stomach when i watch this video. Why don't you a-holes get a real effin job and stop trying to ruin other peoples lives .

13. I am so sick of these friggin papparazi......That behaviour is unacceptable. It's too bad that one of those losers didn't get run over.

14. Wanna hit someone bitch? To the papsmear who said that, you sound like a thug wannabe tool. If you hate your subject matter that much, get another line of work, and don't block them when they drive and complain about getting hit. Seriously. My guess is if Leo had gotten out of his car to "hit someone" the trash talking papsmear would have folded like a card house. Leo didn't want to "hit someone." He wanted to leave a parking lot. It's the papsmear who wanted to stop him from doing that. And for that papsmear, you're the whiny little bitch.

15. I think he should of ran over the photogs. Stalking is illegal in American (unless you're a photog) then you get paid for it.

The ones who flash-blind kids should be taken out and shot.
