No! Leo DiCaprio has not converted to Kabbalah.

He sparked speculation after he was spotted wearing a red bracelet — a symbol of the Jewish mysticism practiced by celebs like Madonna — while meeting Pope Francis on Jan. 28.

He was also seen wearing the adornment at the SAG Awards and during a Q&A for “The Revenant” in December.

However, a source tells us the string is actually a bracelet he picked up at Angkor Wat in Cambodia when visiting with his family and best friend Lukas Haas in November.

The bracelets, popular with tourists, are given by monks in return for a donation and are said to bring good luck. Leo is already a favorite to win an Oscar this month, but every bit helps.
