Leonardo DiCaprio beams with joy while dancing to Ice Cube’s performance at the Raising Cane’s pre-Super Bowl party in San Francisco on Saturday night. The 51-year-old Oscar winner grooves to the classic gangsta rap track “No Vaseline” from the second row, right behind his longtime friend Tobey Maguire.
Reunited Pals Enjoy Nostalgic Night
Ice Cube, 56, delivers his 1991 diss track aimed at former N.W.A. bandmates Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and manager Jerry Heller. DiCaprio sports a signature black baseball cap and matching jacket, appearing more upbeat than in recent years amid the lively crowd. The 50-year-old Spider-Man star Maguire shares the fun at the sporty, throwback event.
The duo first connected in 1990 during auditions and later co-starred in the 1993 drama This Boy’s Life and Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 film The Great Gatsby. In the 1990s, DiCaprio partied with a crew that included Maguire, Kevin Connolly, Harmony Korine, and others.
Ceretti Honors Italy at Winter Olympics
Meanwhile, DiCaprio’s girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, represents Italy by carrying the national flag at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan. She wears a custom white Giorgio Armani gown for the prestigious moment.
Ceretti 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, “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.”
