Leonardo DiCaprio: Little Plum
The former Titanic actor is referred to as "Little Plum" in China, or 小李子 (xiao li zi).
It is a play on words. "Li" is the first syllable of the Chinese translation of Leonardo, 李奥纳多 (li ao na duo) and 里子 (li zi) is Chinese for the fruit plum.
Together, you get "Little Plum". It’s a perfect fit for DiCaprio, who has gone "plump" in the past few years.
