Leo DiCaprio’s Bodyguards in Hot Water

Two of Leonardo DiCaprio’s bodyguards were arrested after a fight broke out in Jerusalem.

The Oscar-nominated actor was visiting Jerusalem’s walled Old City with Israeli girlfriend Bar Refaeli when the incident took place.

A police spokesman said “fists flew” and one photographer was slightly injured in the incident.

The police spokesman said DiCaprio and supermodel Refaeli were taking a private tour of the tunnels next to the Western Wall, according to Reuters. The Western Wall is Judaism’s holiest site, in Jerusalem’s walled Old City.  The paparazzi were waiting when they emerged.

The couple have been the subject of tremendous press attention to the point that one Israeli news crew actually hired a helicopter to follow their movements.  Refaeli’s family home has become a gathering place for press photographers as well.

“Two of DiCaprio’s security guards were arrested by police after being involved in a fight that broke out,” according to Mickey Rosenfeld, a police spokesman.  He added that they are being questioned. DiCaprio’s reps had no comment.

DiCaprio was nominated for an Oscar this year for his performance in Blood Diamond and also starred in the Oscar-winning film The Departed.
