PIC: Only one man turned up at the Spire to celebrate Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar win

That’s a hardcore fan right there.

Leonardo DiCaprio finally got his hands on a Best Actor Oscar at the Academy Awards last night and considering how many times he’s come up short in the past, he proved a very popular winner indeed.

As Leo’s Oscar win had an air of inevitability about it, a number of events were planned over the world to celebrate the victory, including a gathering at the Spire in O’Connell Street.

If the Facebook page is anything to go by, thousands of people have promised to attend the gathering, which was originally planned to take place in the early hours of this morning, but has since been changed to between the hours of 6pm and 9pm this evening.

One fella obviously hadn’t heard about the change in time, however and expressed his disappointment with last night’s turnout on the event’s Facebook page

Whoever does turn up at the Spire this evening, let’s make sure Ian gets an extra special welcome.
