([Also there](https://www.instagram.com/p/BhUWM-mg9JB/?taken-by=iamkristindavis): _Sex and the City_ actress [Kristin Davis](http://time.com/5209327/kristin-davis-endorses-cynthia-nixon-for-governor/) and designer [Nicole Richie](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5592803/Leonardo-DiCaprio-shares-snap-Dame-Jane-Goodall-Moby-inspiring-LA-fundraiser.html).) This isn’t DiCaprio’s first encounter with the rockstar scientist; both are U.N. Messengers of Peace. The _Revenant_ [Oscar-winner](http://time.com/4174724/golden-globes-leonardo-dicaprio-revenant/) was appointed to focus on climate change and Goodall is focusing on continuing her legacy of conservation. After the “Up Close with Dr. Jane Goodall and Friends” event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, DiCaprio took to Instagram to share a photo of himself along with Goodall and Moby, calling it an “inspiring day in L.A.” (Moby also shared the image, calling out Goodall and DiCaprio as two of his “favorite environmentalists.”) Goodall has famously dedicated her life to chimpanzee research, founding the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots and Shoots program to support continued research in conservation and animal behavior. DiCaprio, meanwhile, fronted the [_Before the Flood_](http://time.com/4511153/trailer-leonardo-dicaprio-documentary-before-the-flood/) climate change documentary and is a vocal advocate on matters of climate change, having set up a foundation back [in 1998](https://www.leonardodicaprio.org/timeline/) to support environmental causes globally. He’s also been a primate proponent, producing the 2014 [documentary _Virunga_](http://time.com/3522961/netflix-leonardo-dicaprio-virunga/) about the endangered mountain gorillas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which came out on Netflix. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/"},"headline":"Leonardo DiCaprio Got to Hang Out With Jane Goodall and Moby This Weekend","datePublished":"2018-04-09T19:35:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:48.950Z","description":"Just a couple of environmentalists hanging out in L.A.","url":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Environment","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Got to Hang Out With Jane Goodall and Moby This Weekend"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Leonardo DiCaprio Talks With John Kerry About America's Future And Climate Change","description":"This week, Leonardo DiCaprio is flexing his voice on climate change.
