LEONARDO DiCaprio is living in the fast lane, quite literally.

The Sun can exclusively reveal the cheeky Titanic actor has been using a diplomatic motor to zip around London in recent weeks in a bid to make his journeys through the capital faster.

Rather than face the stress of the endless traffic, using a vehicle owned by a diplomat means Leo is able to dart through the city ignoring the usual speeding rules that constrain the rest of us.

While the cars are technically still bound by UK law, they are often ignored by coppers when it comes to traffic offences and have drivers who are protected from prosecution by diplomatic immunity.

And Leo has been having a great time of it, after being ferried around in a £80,000 Range Rover belonging to an Ivory Coast diplomat.

A source said: “It’s no secret that Leo has friends in high places but even by his standards this is well connected.

“He has been seen zipping around central London in a bright blue Range Rover with blacked out windows belonging to a diplomat from Ivory Coast in West Africa.

“All diplomatic cars are clearly recognisable via their number plates and more often than not the person at the wheel has diplomatic immunity so speeding or jumping a red light now and again wouldn’t be a concern.

“He even had it drop him off and pick him up at Chiltern Firehouse, where he likes to hang out in the capital.”
It’s alright for some, eh?

Over the past few months Leo has been spotted out and about in London, in between his very fancy holidays on mega-yachts in the Med this summer.

The Hollywood star has racked up an impressive number of jaunts over the past three months – notching up 17 destinations in just three months.

As well as hanging out with his pal, Spider Man actor Tobey Maguire in Cannes, France, he hung out with his parents on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, and enjoyed time on a posh boat with Love Island’s Arabella Chi in Ibiza.
