Yes, that was superstar Leonardo DiCaprio staying mostly anonymous in a private cabana sipping virgin mojitos at Bare Pool Lounge in The Mirage.

Leonardo DiCapriohas become something of an auction fixture lately, attending major sales dressed in jeans and a baseball cap. Now, the star of "The Great Gatsby" has asked Christie's to help him pull off an auction of his own—to raise money for the environment.

Leonardo DiCaprio in Walton Ford's New York studio last month.

On May 13, the actor, along with Christie's specialist Loic Gouzer, will try to auction off 33 artworks. Mr. DiCaprio has asked collectors and artists to donate the pieces for the sale to raise around $15 million for his foundation, which supports environmental causes.

My dad says he and my mom were visiting the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, and stopped to look at a Leonardo da Vinci painting. My mom was pregnant with me, and I started kicking furiously, so my dad said, "That is an omen." I actually went to the Uffizi a while ago, but I could never figure out which painting they saw.

Did you collect anything as a kid?

I hear you are also interested in fossils.

As a kid, I was constantly at the natural-history museum, so when I grew up I wanted to fulfill my childhood fantasies and have some pieces in my house. I have a few predatory dinosaurs, and I also collect vintage movie posters from the golden era of Hollywood. To me, that's a really undervalued marketplace. Some of these lithograph prints of film posters were essentially put up on the walls as advertisements, but a lot of them are one-of-a-kind pieces.

After being exposed to the world, I started getting more involved in the SoHo gallery scene in New York and getting my beak wet in collecting. At first I was naive about who to collect, who I actually liked, because as soon as someone offers you something, you say, "Oh, my God, I want it! I want it!" At first you don't really understand who these people are in art history, so it's been a real learning process. One of my first purchases was a Jean-Michel Basquiat drawing.

At one point I slowed down in my collecting because I felt like I was a little misdirected, but lately I've been collecting more. I'm really excited about a lot of these artists like Urs Fischer in the scene now.

A lot of great artists don't get enough recognition, but the ones who get the right exposure and manage their career in the proper way do rise to the top eventually. Sometimes it takes a long time and other times it's an immediate explosion onto the art scene—much like moviemaking, it's interesting to see who stands the test of time and who winds up being a flash in the pan.

Who stood out early on for you?

What's your favorite museum?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is probably the greatest museum in the world. I usually go to the Impressionist section first.

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by species that have been brought to extinction by man. Then a couple years ago I saw this exhibit of Walton Ford's work in Berlin, and he had a watercolor of this extinct elephant bird called the moa and another one of a Tasmanian tiger. He knows the importance of preserving these species, and he doesn't make them seem savage. Now we get together sometimes, but as much as we would like to talk about art, we mostly just geek out. It becomes an Audubon conversation pretty quickly.

I hear you sat for the Elizabeth Peyton portrait that's in the coming auction. What was that like?

I had to be incredibly still for a long time—like two hours—which I'm not used to, but it was amazing to see her flip that switch as an artist.

And if you want to see some pictures of the Art work that their are talking this the Link, by the way there is a picture of Leo made it by Elizabeth Peyton.
