MrBeast’s installment — which dropped on Oct. 20, but was promoted by DiCaprio earlier this week — delves into his battle with Crohn’s Disease, and features interview with his family. It also covers Donaldson’s altruistic work, including #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas.

This isn’t the first time that DiCaprio has linked up with a top YouTube star. Last year, he collaborated with David Dobrik on a campaign to drive voter registration.
