Seven-year-old Isaiah Tootoosis, from Poundmaker Cree Nation in Saskatchewan, just finished work on his first Hollywood film.
“Once I told him he was chosen, he screamed with joy. Afterwards we both screamed and jumped around with joy,” Berland said.
Isaiah isn't the first Tootoosis to take to acting. His great-grandfather was acclaimed actor Gordon Tootoosis.
Isaiah flew to Los Angeles with his aunt Barb, where he filmed for nine days and made friends with Leo.
Isaiah plays DiCaprio's son "Young Hawk" in the film.
Adorably, Isaiah had no clue who DiCaprio was until he got back to Canada.
“He didn’t know Leo was an actor until he came home," Berland told Eagle Feather News. "He did not really care about whom he was acting with until we put a movie on with Leo in it, his eyes lightened up and instantly, ‘Hey! I know that guy, he’s my movie dad. Boy he’s such a good actor.'"
Isaiah now says he wants to become a professional actor, telling CBC News he wants to "get a big house in Hollywood someday."
