Leonardo Dicaprio Has To Return His Oscars Trophy

Oscars (Academy Awards) is a celebration to recognize and praise excellent cinematic achievements in the film industry.  And do you remember the Oscars nomination in 2016? It is believed that 2016 is a worth remembering year to Leonardo Dicaprio. From the very first Oscars in 1994, that is the first time the actor finally received the trophy home.

There are some rumours doing the rounds that federal investigators have forced him to return his Oscars trophy. It is not the only trophy that he won for his outstanding performance as a lead character in The Revenant. However, it's an Academy Awards that he received in the Best Actor category.

Dicaprio has to give back all the gifts he received from Jho Low

As per New York Times (via MSN), he received another trophy won by Marlon Brandon in On the Waterfront in 1954. Leonardo DiCaprio has this trophy from Jho Low, a Malaysian financier. Anyway, Low has been involved in the alleged fraud, and now he is being investigated for this. That's the reason why Leonardo has to give back all the gifts he has received from Jho Low to the authorities. It includes a painting by Pablo Picasso and a collage by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

It is reported that the Oscar trophy went missing from Brando’s home and Low bought it for $600,000 (Rs 4.3 crore) a few years later. Furthermore, it is reported that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has the right to repurchase it for $1 when the procedure of investigations finished.

DiCaprio is not the only star that received such types of gifts from Low. Miranda Kerr also received the clear-acrylic grand piano that Low bought from Crystal Music Company. She will have to give it up for sure. Anyway, because of the complications in taking it out from her house, it will stay for a while.
