Hollywood’s leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio, is celebrating a major milestone—his 50th birthday! The Oscar-winning actor commemorated the occasion with a lavish party at his Los Angeles home on Saturday, November 9th, just two days before his official birthday on Monday.
An exclusive source reports that a wide range of A-list celebrities, including Brad Pitt, Tobey Maguire, Robin Thicke and his fiancée April Love Geary, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyga, Teyana Taylor, Jamie Foxx, Bill Maher, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, Paris Hilton, Cara Delevingne, Chris Rock, Kevin Connolly, Todd Phillips, and DiCaprio’s own parents, George DiCaprio and Irmelin Indenbirken, attended the star-studded event.
The insider reveals that the party was a multi-part celebration, with DiCaprio first hosting a more intimate family and friends dinner before transitioning into the larger, star-studded bash. “He was incredibly pleased and hugging all his guests. Leo was on a high the whole night,” the source gushed.
Renowned musician Anderson Paak provided the musical entertainment, spinning tunes from the DJ booth as guests danced the night away into the early hours of the morning. And what’s a birthday party without cake? DiCaprio treated his guests to delectable carrot cake, according to the source.
As for the other high-profile attendees, the insider says that Brad Pitt, who arrived with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon, was a prominent fixture, spending the entire night socializing on the party’s front patio. “He was in a great mood, was super social, and was greeting everyone,” the source said of the 60-year-old actor.
Meanwhile, Jamie Foxx and Todd Phillips were each holding court in different areas of the party, surrounded by their own groups of guests. “A lot of Leo’s old school friends were there, a lot of producers and directors,” the insider added.
This milestone birthday celebration comes just a year after DiCaprio hinted at his future plans in an interview with ABC News’ Chris Connelly. When asked what he hopes to accomplish before turning 50, the Titanic star simply replied, “You know what? Just one more movie. One more movie.”
DiCaprio’s career has spanned over three decades, with the actor first rising to fame in the 1990s through roles in shows like Growing Pains and films such as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, for which he earned his first Oscar nomination. He went on to cement his status as a Hollywood heavyweight, starring in cinematic masterpieces like Titanic, Romeo and Juliet, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, and The Revenant, the latter of which finally earned him his first Academy Award win in 2016.
However, DiCaprio’s influence goes well beyond the cinematic realm. The renowned environmentalist has also used his platform to raise awareness about the critical issue of climate change, citing a pivotal meeting with former Vice President Al Gore as the catalyst for his environmental advocacy work. Entering his 50s with the same youthful energy and passion that has defined his illustrious career, DiCaprio’s star power shows no signs of dimming anytime soon.
