A newly released 2009 email shows Jeffrey Epstein reaching out to a British political figure, asking whether he knew any overseas companies that might be interested in paying Leonardo DiCaprio for a non US endorsement. The message references potential markets like India, China, Japan, and Russia, and mentions cars and other products.
What is important here is who initiated the conversation.
The email was sent by Epstein, not to him. Epstein is the one asking whether contacts abroad might want DiCaprio’s endorsement, adding that the actor was “looking for non US products to endorse to make some money.” That phrasing appears to be Epstein’s own wording, not a quote attributed to DiCaprio.
There is no evidence DiCaprio was aware of the email, approved the outreach, or had any relationship with Epstein. His representatives have previously stated that DiCaprio had no involvement with Epstein, and the document does not show any response agreeing to the inquiry or any deal moving forward.
Still, the email raises an uncomfortable question. Why was Epstein inserting himself into celebrity endorsement discussions at all, especially involving someone of DiCaprio’s stature?
