A trip to space with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio raised 1.2 million euros (US$1.5 million) for charity at a glitzy fundraiser at the Cannes Film Festival on Thursday.
At the 20th annual event organized by amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, DiCaprio emerged as the mystery guest to accompany the winner on a Virgin Galactic flight. DiCaprio stars in the film "The Great Gatsby," which opened the 66th Cannes Film Festival.
"You don't get to go to outer space every day with a handsome movie star," said actress Sharon Stone.
The winning bidder, Vasily Klyukin, 37, a Russian living in Monaco, said he had always wanted to go into space.
