DiCaprio to adopt?

Leonardo DiCaprio has "adopted" an African orphan, according to new US reports.

New York gossip columnist Cindy Adams claims the movie star is financially supporting a little girl he met while filming Blood Diamond in South Africa.

Adams insists the child will not live with him and DiCaprio will support her with monthly payments.

In a recent US TV interview, DiCaprio confessed he had met a special little girl while filming in Mozambique.

He told TV show Extra: "There was a young girl that was on the movie that I spent a lot of time with."
