Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors

Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted helping a partygoer in need during his holiday weekend in the Hamptons.

The 49-year-old actor was seen assisting an intoxicated guest at a party hosted by his longtime friend Richie Akiva on Saturday, July 6. A source at the event revealed exclusively to Page Six that, “At one point Leo picked up a very drunk guy and put him by a pole. The guy was literally falling over. Leo put out his hand on [the pole] so he wouldn’t fall and said, ‘Stay there.'” The source said the guest complied, staying put and holding onto the pole.

The Inception actor attended the event alongside his close friend Tobey Maguire, while his girlfriend, 26-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, was in Capri, Italy, working on a Dolce & Gabbana campaign with actor Theo James. In the photos, which were obtained by Daily Mail, James was wearing a tiny pair of white swim trunks while the model matched in a small white bikini.

DiCaprio and Ceretti reportedly met at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival during the premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon in May. Their romantic connection first gained attention when they were spotted on an ice cream date in Los Angeles, with an eyewitness reportedly noting a palpable “vibe” between them due to the way they interacted. On September 6, they were seen dancing in Ibiza, Spain.

An insider revealed to the Daily Mail in September 2023, “Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time. But he adores her and she and him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, traveling around on romantic trips.” The source added, “It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways. There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.”
