Summer’s hottest trend was logging off Twitter to “disconnect,” only to spend double the amount of energy sharing vacation photos on Instagram. And that’s fine! We get it. Guilty as charged. Vacation can be lonely sometimes, and isn’t the endorphin rush that comes with external validation just another form of self-care? Nobody understands this more than celebrities, whose job is to look like they’re having more fun than you. But who had the most fun?

No, It Was Leonardo DiCaprio

Didn’t you know? It’s always Leonardo DiCaprio! Our summer king isn’t on Instagram, and therefore free to enjoy life as aggressively as he pleases. Besides, he’s too busy Citibiking, playing volleyball, and snorkeling with models to pick up a phone. Congratulations, Leo. See you this fall.
