Twitter Is Not Impressed Leo DiCaprio Thanked Two ‘British’ Actors At The BAFTAs, Daniel Day-Lewis and Peter O’Toole

First it was Dumble, now it’s Daniel Day-Lewis, Leo really doesn’t like the Irish does he?

Leonardo DiCaprio was collecting his BAFTA last night and during his acceptance speech he paid tribute to loads of ‘British’ actors who have influenced him.

He spoke about his recent co-star Tom Hardy and thanked the likes of Tom Courtenay and Gary Oldman.

Also included in his tribute to BRITISH actors were Daniel Day-Lewis and Peter O’Toole.

People have taken to Twitter to give out:
