  • Story Text: Hollywood film star Leonardo DiCaprio has ended a week's holiday on the communist-ruled Caribbean island of Cuba, dodging the press but taking time out to sign autographs to some wide-eyed fans.

    Actor Leonardo DiCaprio, young star of the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic", ended a week's holiday in Cuba on Thursday (February 26).

    DiCaprio spent much of his time dodging photographers and journalists.Although his stay in Havana at the sea-front Riviera Hotel, an old Mafia haunt before the 1959 Revolution, was shrouded in secrecy, this did not stop a small group of young Cuban fans from gathering at the hotel entrance in hopes of catching a glimpse of the young star.

    The actor, featured in other films such as "Basketball Diaries" and "Romeo and Juliet", left the island late on Thursday accompanied by friends on board the Avatar, a Bermuda-registered private sailing boat.
