Are Leonardo DiCaprio and Timothee Chalamet close friends?

Some could say it is like looking in a mirror as Leonardo DiCaprio is seen having dinner with ‘this generation’s Leo’ Timothee Chalamet.

The fellow thespians were pictured leaving Hollywood’s latest haunt, West Hollywood’s Bird Street Club, exactly one night after the Titanic actor took potential new girlfriend Victoria Lamas to the same place.

While some may question Timothee and Leo’s friendship, the pair have been connected for quite some time.

Academy Award nominees Leonardo and Timothee first starred in the 2021 Netflix disaster comedy film ‘Don’t Look Up’ together alongside a stellar cast of Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett.

Co-star Jennifer Lawrence recounted a day on set when filming with buds Timothee and Leo claiming it to be absolutely ‘annoying’.

She said: “It was the most annoying day of my life, I’ll tell you that. They drove me crazy that day…Timothee was just excited to be out of the house…and Leo had picked the song that was playing in the car and was just like ‘this song is about blah, blah, blah.

“I don’t know. I just remember being in absolute misery that day. But they’re very nice.”

I wonder if Leonardo was telling Timothee about another song playing in the car as they were pictured leaving the West Hollywood eatery? Or even some more advice as Leo is known for helping future acting prodigies?

The Dune star has recounted another time with DiCaprio where the Romeo and Juliet lead gave Timothee career advice.

Timothee said to Vogue that he should ‘stay away from hard drugs and superhero movies’.
