It read: "From @antonioguterres: @LeonardoDiCaprio was at #COP21 in 2015 when the #ParisAgreement was adopted.

"He has continued to promote its implementation ever since then. At #COP26, I got to thank him for his #ClimateAction work and support for the @UnitedNations as Messenger of Peace."

One commented: "Finally a photo of Leonardo DiCaprio in the instagram of Leonardo DiCaprio," with another saying: "Oh myyyy finally your posting your picture," and a third also adding: "Finallyyyyy, he posted a photo of himself."
