People reports that Peres requested a meeting with the environmentalist actor as soon as he heard DiCaprio was in town with Israeli model Bar Refaeli. The two discussed Peres' economic development plan for Israel, Jordan, and Palestine and 11th Hour, DiCaprio's documentary on the environment. Peres also asked the actor to lend a hand in stalled Middle East peace talks and word is the actor agreed to lend his celebrity to the cause.
