Leonardo DiCaprio’s Grandma Passes Away

leo and his oma

From what I’ve read about Leonardo DiCarpio’s grandma, I get the impression that she’s a one-of-a-kind character. Leonardo is certainly going to miss her now that she passed away. Helene Indenbirken, whom Leonardo fondly calls Oma, died at the age of 93. She took her last breath in a hospital in her home country, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The actual cause of her death has not been cited, but, her health has apparently deteriorated badly earlier this year.

There’s no doubt that Leonardo and his Oma were very close. He would often see his grandma whenever he’s in Europe. And he also took her to movie premieres, just like what he did in 2005 during The Aviator’s premiere. Leonardo finds her the best pal because according to him “She is literally gangsta, and I mean with an “a”. She will tell people exactly what she thinks to their face and look them in the eye.” Aside from that, his Oma also saved his mother’s life by nursing her back to health after the World War II.

Condolence Leonardo and may your Oma rest in peace.
