Leonardo DiCaprio rang in the holidays with a touch of cinematic flair, joining his father George DiCaprio and none other than fellow Oscar legend Al Pacino for a Wednesday lunch.

The matinee idol, 50, was in good spirits as he treated his 81-year-old father – who once founded a famous waterbed company – to a visit to the exclusive Bird Street Club in West Hollywood.

The Titanic star, who recently sparked engagement rumors to girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, kept it casual yet effortlessly cool, wearing a black T-shirt and gray trousers.

George exuded effortless charm in a crisp white shirt and black suit jacket, with his signature long white hair catching the attention of passers-by.

Pacino, 84, in his signature all-black ensemble, shared a lively moment outside the club with George.

The duo shared a hearty laugh before Leo escorted Pacino to his car and George happily said goodbye, as described by witnesses.

Although the lunch date was brief, it is clear that Leo and George share a strong bond.

Despite being separated from Leo’s mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, shortly after his birth, George played an active role in raising his son.

Once a struggling installer of asbestos and fire-resistant roofing, George turned to entrepreneurship with the launch of a waterbed company, aptly named Foggy Bottom.

But his creative streak didn’t stop there: he became a prominent figure in the underground comics world, building a reputation as a writer, editor and distributor.

Notably, he also guided young Leo through the early days of his acting career.

More recently, George made his own film debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2021 film Licorice Pizza, further cementing his flair for storytelling.

George has been married to Peggy Ann Farrar since 1995 and first met Irmelin in 1963 when she was studying to be a legal secretary in New York.

The couple eventually tied the knot and moved to Los Angeles, but in 1974, when Irmelin was pregnant, their relationship faltered.

The Titanic star, who recently sparked engagement rumors to girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, kept it casual yet effortlessly cool, wearing a black T-shirt and gray trousers.

Still, they embarked on one final adventure to Florence, where a kick from baby Leo while admiring a Leonardo da Vinci painting in the Uffizi Gallery inspired Irmelin to name her son after the Renaissance master.

Back in Hollywood, George and Irmelin separated but maintained a close co-parenting structure, renting adjoining bungalows with a communal garden to raise Leo.

Their unconventional arrangement didn’t faze the actor, who once said it “never bothered me.”

While Leo made headlines last week during his visit to Art Basel in Miami Beach, his rumored fiancée, 26-year-old Vittoria Ceretti, was noticeably absent.

The couple, who have been linked since 2023, sparked speculation earlier this year when Vittoria wore a heart-shaped diamond ring during a romantic Italian getaway.

However, reports later revealed that she had owned the ring since 2022, long before her romance with the Hollywood star began.

Still, the couple’s relationship keeps fans talking, as does Leo, who remains as fascinating off-screen as he is on-screen.
