NARBC: Leonardo DiCaprio shows up, TMZ reports

By Cindy Steinle

It isn't every day that a reptile show will make TMZ, but when Leo is spotted, you know someone will get it there!

The article posted today on the TMZ website has an accompanying video in which Leo (that's Leonardo DiCaprio for those confused) was spotted buying an African Spur Thigh Tortoise from Prehistoric Pets Booth.

From TMZ:
Sources close to the actor tell TMZ, Leo picked up the 10-year-old Sulcata tortoise at the North American Reptile Breeders Conference and Trade Show in Anaheim, CA over the weekend -- which he attended with fellow "Inception" star Lukas Haas -- and get this ... the animal can live to be 80 years old!

Too bad I was already on a plane and headed home.

Paparazzi suck.

Prehistoric Pets owner Jay Brewer said this on facebook: "One of my buddies at the Anaheim show took a video of Leonardo DiCaprio, but i had nothing to do with the video or the selling of it. Prehistoric Pets has stars come in all the time and we keep it on the down low. the article makes it sound like it was preordered and that is not true. Sorry to Leonardo DiCaprio and if anyone knows him send him this link if you are my friend. So we are very sorry."
