Leonardo DiCaprio beams with joy as he dances to Ice Cube’s performance at the Raising Cane’s pre-Super Bowl event in San Francisco on Saturday night.
Reunited Buddies Groove to Classic Rap
The 51-year-old Oscar winner bobs to the old-school gangsta rap track ‘No Vaseline’ from 1991, a diss aimed at Ice Cube’s former N.W.A. bandmates Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and manager Jerry Heller. DiCaprio stands in the second row behind his longtime friend Tobey Maguire, both dressed casually in black baseball caps and jackets amid enthusiastic partygoers.
The 50-year-old Spider-Man star shares the fun at the nostalgic sports-themed bash. The duo first connected in 1990 during auditions and later co-starred in This Boy’s Life (1993) and The Great Gatsby (2013). In the 1990s, DiCaprio partied with a crew known as the ‘Pussy Posse,’ including Maguire, Kevin Connolly, Harmony Korine, Jay Ferguson, Josh Miller, David Blaine, and Ethan Suplee.
Vittoria Ceretti Shines at Winter Olympics
Meanwhile, DiCaprio’s girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti proudly carries Italy’s flag at the Milan Winter Olympics opening ceremony, wearing a custom white Giorgio Armani gown.
The 27-year-old model shares her excitement on Instagram: “This was the greatest honor of my life. I still can’t believe I had the privilege of carrying the Italian flag at the Olympic Games.”
She adds, “Before I got there, I don’t think I fully understood the responsibility I was taking on: within that flag live our history, our values, and the beauty of the most incredible country in the world. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be doing what I love most in front of 80,000 people. Thank you for trusting me. I hope I made you proud, Italy.”
Awards Season Heats Up for DiCaprio
