The Revenant actor recently brought a big smile on the faces of his fans in Edinburgh when he arrived at a restaurant called Home for lunch yesterday. It wasn¡¯t just another starry lunch, but for a good cause. One of his biggest fans, Elise Lovell, won a raffle to dine with the actor in aide of the Social Bite homeless charity, which set up the restaurant and runs a chain of sandwich cafes that train and employ homeless staff.

DiCaprio killed two birds with one stone with this particular visit as he also attended the Scottish Business Awards where he was the guest speaker.

After the lunch, his fan Elise was asked about her experience. The lady couldn¡¯t stop gushing about the actor, she said, ¡°It was quite surreal but a fantastic couple of hours.¡± The duo even discussed the recently help presidential elections in the US. She told The Guradian, that Leo ¡°kind of laughed and said it was definitely a shock to a lot of people¡±.

Talking about this historic lunch, Social Bite co-founder Josh Littlejohn told the Daily Mail:

¡°It was such an honour to have Leonardo DiCaprio visit our brand new restaurant, Home. Homeless people are then invited in every Monday to dine with dignity, as well as being offered job opportunities to help break the cycle of homelessness. For Leo to choose to highlight this initiative whilst in Scotland is very humbling and we are grateful to him for raising the awareness.¡±
