Let me guess they were TMZ paps (they always are the ones being run over, beat down) . . . oh well if you are standing in the way of a vehicle that is moving common sense says get the f#*k out of the way!

WOOO I BET ITS NOT EVEN HIM.....

This is pathetic. I don't mind a little celebrity stalking but jeez, don't harass the man. Get your picture and move on.

dude... if the guy doesn't want his picture taken and is obviously not going to give you a shot, get out of his friggin' way. the paps these days are really getting out of control and incredibly antagonistic. if i had been a bystander, i would have been pissed enough to beat the hell out of them... regardless of who was being harrassed! good thing i'm not a celeb... ;) quit being such assholes.

Not new bff. Leo and Cons have been friends for like ten years.

Leo was shielding his eyes to be able to see with all the camera lights and bulbs flashing. Notice how Kevin Connolly, who is always so friendly and polite to the paps, was able to show his face and speak with everyone, but Leo, the driver, had to hide his face and get all the flack. I have seen footage of Kevin Connolly driving away, where he had to shield his eyes, and then the paps said he was embarassed by who he was with and wanted to make a quick getaway. Meanwhile, Kevin Connolly always says hi to the camera guys, and will give photo ops or interviews whenever asked. They can't swarm the car and wonder why Leo is shielding his eyes to get away. Think about what it feels like just to have a couple of pictures snapped of you. You can't see afterwards. Now, imagine what cuties Kevin Connolly and Leonardo DiCaprio felt like at Opera last night.

Every one of these assholes should be arrested and charged with harassment. It should be legal to run over paparazzi with your car, even if you're not a celebrity. This is the most pathetic occupation on the face of the earth.

Kevin Connolly and Leonardo DiCaprio are absolutely not new BFF. They have been friends for at least 10 years. They just spent unconnected weekends together in Las Vegas, made a movie with another buddy Lukas Haas, and regulary hang together with their 4th best bud Tobey Maguire. Leo and Kevin may be out more together recently because Bar has been busy and Kevin is not filming right now, but they go way back. For celebrity reporters, you need to get your stories right.

If you don't want your pic taken, change your job! But i guess he wants the money and fame, just not pics taken of him. They don't really hound him like Brangelina and they keep it cool! Douche!

this is sad that the paps laugh about making a celebs life miserable. Get a pic and move on. Its your own fault for getting hit dumb ass!

HOW IN THE HELL DO U STAND IN FRONT OF A MOVING CAR, AND GET MAD WHEN HE RUNS U OVER?! .....ALL U FUCKERS WITH CAMERAS NEED TO BE RAN OVER.

He should have ran one of those stupid paps over. You can't be getting any good pictures like that your just annoying people. Fucking Idiots!

Is that an environmentally friendly Lexus? Probably not, maybe that's why he didn't want his face shown.

Um, if you don't want your picture taken, why would you go to Opera? Way to bite the hand that feeds you.

paparazzi are discusting.

billy you are an idiot! if he doesnt want his picture taken he should stay at home for the rest of his life? you are really stupid.

He laughs at the picture and Is so happy people just paid some one for that video and pics weird mmm wonder if he cares

I would have taken all those photog b*tches out. I just love how they think they have a right to gang up and swarm people like that. What??? Leo, didn't like being drowned in a sea of low-lifes all caring less about his saftey and only caring about a fat check. How dare Leo cover his face and honk his horn.*sprinkled with sarcasm*

The papz are really out of control.

WOW, Well I hope X17 s really proud of this work...what Leo should do is hire 25 photographers walk around behind the owners of x17 online to taking useless pictures of them and talk shit to them the whole time.

Wow you all look ridiculous. You guys reminded me of the infected people from the movie 28 Weeks/Says Later chasing after people. You look like friggin' animals. Get the fuck out of his way. You actually have the balls to try and make out that you are the victim and he is the culprit in this situation. Sometimes I think the stars could handle the paps better in some situations, but how would you handle it in this situation?

It's completely ridiculous that while they are climbing on his car and standing in front of it while he is trying to drive off, they are yelling at him to not run people over. They're absolutely pathetic and rude. Thank God I am not a celebrity or a pap.

anything for a buck, you people are so ghetto.. its ridiculous. get a real career.

There should be a law against this kind of behavior. It's ironic how can celebrities get a restraining order against stalkers but there's nothing they can do against the rudeness of the papparazzi.
I understand celebrities can't expect much privacy, but this is too much!!
But unfortunately, it's our fault. If there wasn't a demand for this kinds of pictures, they'd be out of job, and the celebrities would be left alone.

FUCK THAT ASSHOLE WHO WAS LIKE "WANNA HIT SOMEBODY BITCH?"

Uhhh. Dont talk to one of the better actors of our time like that you ass hole. Get a real fucking job.

kthanksbye.

You Fucking paps leave leo the fuck alone you lowlifes!!!! All of you assholes need to be run over!!

Now he learns that he needs a loud horn on his car.. Things that sound like a train.. That will fuck them up.

also, get the fucking facts straight before posting stupid shit..
