During June, the official web site of Leonardo DiCaprio opened their own chat room. Although Leonardo is not expected to be there every time other members of his family and close friends are rumoured to be in attendence. The official web site usually posts news of the scheduled chats (the room is not open all the time). Visit our Leonardo Fans Only! board or the Chatting with Leonardo board for the latest developments. The clock to the left shows the local time for where the chats are being held in California (at present GMT -8 hours).
