Leonardo DiCaprio has accomplished many things in his short time on Earth but he’s got nothing to do with painting one of the most famous portraits of all time.
Fox News is still trying to give him credit for it though.
Fox News anchor Shepard Smith made a little bit of a news faux pas earlier this week, mixing up Leonardo da Vinci and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Smith credited DiCaprio, not da Vinci, as the painter of the Mona Lisa during a segment about the search for who modeled for the legendary painting. Unfortunately for Smith, DiCaprio and da Vinci are not one and the same.
Here’s Shep giving Leo credit for the Mona Lisa, the lunar landing and the morning after pill.
Hahahaha! Shepard Smith just said Leonardo DiCaprio painted the Mona Lisa!!!! pic.twitter.com/fFTKFqn4k3
