Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro and Hollywood star Leonardo Dicaprio are sparring again. This time, it’s the Brazilian president who has come up with a jibe,  in keeping with his mercurial style. Bolsonaro on Thursday asked the Hollywood heartthrob to ‘keep his mouth shut’.

In recent days, A-listers in Brazil and abroad have used their prestige and social media platforms to call for young, first-time voters in Brazil to register to vote in the October presidential election that is expected to pit far-right incumbent Bolsonaro against former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Leftist Workers’ Party.

Leonardo Dicaprio has been critical of Bolsonaro whose regime has presided over rampant deforestation in the Amazon rainforests which are critical for the global environment and to prevent climate change.

“DiCaprio has to know that the WTO president herself said that, without Brazilian agribusiness, the world would go hungry. So it’s good for DiCaprio to keep his mouth shut there instead of talking nonsense around,” Bolsonaro told supporters. in the playpen of the Palácio da Alvorada.

Last week, both men sparred on Twitter. Leonardo DiCaprio, a staunch environmental activist, made a tweet urging Brazilian youths to register themselves as voters. He even posted a link to information on how to register as a voter.

“Brazil is home to the Amazon and other ecosystems critical to climate change. What happens there matters to us all and youth voting is key in driving change for a healthy planet.

This was perceived as a nudge to Brazilian voters to change the regime in Brazil

“Thanks for your support, Leo! It’s really important to have every Brazilian voting in the coming elections. Our people will decide if they want to keep our sovereignty on the Amazon or to be ruled by crooks who serve foreign special interest. Good job in The Revenant!” Bolsonaro shot back.
