Are Leo DiCaprio & Brad Pitt hanging out & making beautiful art together?

Queen Elizabeth II

I like reading gossip stories from The Sun because usually it’s clear as day when a celebrity’s publicist has called up one of their gossip people for a quick story. It’s also clear as day when they’re just throwing crap at the wall to see what sticks. Let’s see which option this story is. In this week’s Simon Boyles column for The Sun’s Bizarre section, Boyles dutifully suggests that Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio get along so famously that now they’re… sculpting together. They do ART together in Brad’s studio. Yeah.

Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze have some stiff competition for Hollywood’s hottest pottery wheel. I can reveal Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have been bonding over the art form — though not quite like Demi and the late hunk did in hit Nineties film Ghost.

Brad and Leo have enjoyed late-night sessions at Brad’s LA mansion after striking up a bromance filming their new movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

A source close to the pair said: “Brad’s got his own sculpting studio at his house and Leo loves coming over to use it. They sometimes hang out with Brad’s artist pals, but other times it’s just the two of them. Leo brings sandwiches over from their favourite place, Fat Sal’s, and they spend their boys’ nights creating art until the early hours.”

First of all, NO. Second of all, this is not happening, at all. Third of all, did Brad’s team want us to think this? Because that’s what I wonder. Brad’s team has leaked stories to People, Page Six and The Sun with some regularity over the past two or three years, and I wonder if this is some publicist’s fluff ahead of the release of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. For what it’s worth, Leo doesn’t seem at all interested in anything to do with Brad. It’s a combination of things, really – Leo prefers to spend time with his bros, his Wolf Pack, of which he is the clear leader and most famous alpha wolf. Brad is too much competition. I also think that Brad just seems a bit desperate to seem cool these days, like he’s trying to hard to be chummy with Margot Robbie and Leo and all they want to do is go off somewhere and play poker with the bros. So Brad just sits in his studio alone and sculpts. And cries whilst staring at the ocean, probably.

    Is sculpting code for alcohol & weed?

    Frankly, I don’t think these two can handle each other and just doing the minimum to promote the movie.

    • Becks1 says:

      I don’t think they can either, which is where this story comes from I think. I know we have said on here that they seem a little stiff around each other at the promotional events, so I wonder if others have said that and its gotten back to their PR team so they put out this ridiculous fluff piece.

    • Esme says:

      I thought it was code for a slashfic scenario, with the reference to Ghost and all… And it’s hilarious – totally not believable, totally random.
      And yeah, I agree Pitt’s coming out of this promotion round as the uncool ageing uncle who desperately wants the cool kids to party and hang out in his sculpting studio.

    • Eleonor says:

      I don’t know about alcohol, but Leo has never been into drugs. And I tend to believe this.

  2. Becks1 says:

    OMG I’m laughing so hard at this story. “sometimes they hang out with his artist friends, sometimes just the two of them with some sandwiches.” Like, what??

    I feel like Brad Pitt is trying to desperately to be seen as “cool” that its just coming across as pathetic. Be like Clooney. He’s just cool. Sure, a little thirsty, but cool. It’s like he is having a hard time aging in Hollywood.

    • cherry says:

      Me too, thanks for the much-needed laugh, The Sun! ‘They sometimes hang out with Brad’s artist pals, but other times it’s just the two of them’ ROFLOL!

  3. bored at work says:

    LOL

  4. BayTampaBay says:

    I guess I am just too old because I never really got Leonardo. He was “cute” when he was younger, he is a superior actor but I do not find him all that attractive. Since 95% of the world disagrees with me, I guess I am just weird. LOL! LOL!

    • whatWHAT? says:

      he’s got a two face thing going on.

      I never thought he was cute or handsome when he was younger (Titanic, etc) because he looked SO YOUNG…he looked like a little boy to me.

      then his looks “aged” quite suddenly, and now there are times when I’m like “he looks GOOD” and other times when I’m like “ew bloated dirty Leo looks gross”.

      I DO agree that he’s quite a good actor, though. he scared me in Django, he was so good and creepy.

    • Brandy Alexander says:

      I’m with you. He had a small window during the Blood Diamond time where I thought he was moderately attractive, but for the most part I thought he went from a scrawny twerp during Titanic to a bloated greasy moon face with barely any time in between. I do think he’s a good actor though.

      • Penelope says:

        YES! I always thought he looked like a child in every movie he was ever in, and then I went to see Blood Diamond in the theatre and I was like “hold on, what is this? Has he finally become a man?” Actually I don’t even mind him old and bloated. I still wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating chips.

      • Brandy Alexander says:

        Penelope, I do think he cleans up when he’s acting and promoting the movie, and during that time, he still looks pretty good. But I’ve seen candids when he has nothing going on, and he really can let himself go. Also, I know someone who has met him a couple of times, and the stories they told me about how he treats women skeeves me out, so I am a little biased against him.

  5. Mia4s says:

    “Sculpting studio”?

    And not one “Ghost” Patrick Swayze/Demi Moore meme so far?

    You disappoint me Internet.

  6. Lowrider says:

    Brad is still excited to be in the “game”. Compared to Margot and Leo, Brad appears too eager and desperate in the interviews for this movie. It’s weird.

  7. Chisey says:

    LOL I think Leo’s about as likely to sculpt until the early hours of the morning as he is to date someone his own age.

  8. Dark and Stormy says:

    I hope this means we can expect Brad n Leo memes enacting scenes from Ghost, Titanic, and Thelma and Louise.

  9. Michelle says:

    Already have my tickets for this Sunday and I’m expecting a great time!

    • Mim says:

      Tarantino should of been cancelled a long time ago. Even reviews have said this film has more foot fetish shots & girls rear ends than ever. All so Tarantino can jerk off to women’s feet. Seems Me too doesn’t apply to him & his very troublesome behaviour.

      • SallyS says:

        Margot said that Tarantino wasn’t sexual abuser, so he’s ok.

      • Becks1 says:

        We watched Kill Bill last night, thanks to the Leo discussion yesterday (I was making my argument to my husband, he said lets watch Django, then we were like KILL BILL!) anyway, it was the first Tarantino/Weinstein movie I’ve seen since the scandal broke, and I was really uncomfortable watching it. Great movie, love Uma, but man. I don’t know if I’ll watch it again.

  10. Mim says:

    As much as i don’t like Pitt these days, this is a completely made up piece. Simon Boyle of the Sun is very well known for his lies, as is Dan Wooton, pretty much all the entertainment section of The Sun. No publicist needed for these stories.

  11. SallyS says:

    GoldDerby says Brad might win BSA Oscar for his role in that movie.

    • Mim says:

      It will all be forgotten by time Awards season comes around, otherwise why release it in the summer & not consideration time?

  12. MIM says:

    @Sallys
    Just because Margot said he wasn’t a sexual abuser doesn’t make his behaviour OK in the slightest.

    He thought a 13yr old was asking to be raped.
    His love of violence against women.
    He knew about Weinstein from his own girlfriend, from Many other women & said & did nothing.
    His whole career financed by Weinstein
    His love of the N word
    His obsession of jerking off to women’s feet & makes actresses (not actors) film barefoot shots (doesn’t benefit the film in any way) just for his fetish Only.
    Need i go on?

    • SallyS says:

      I meant that since Margot said he wasn’t sexual abuser, he’s ok for her, for her to work with him.

      • MIM says:

        @sallys Get what you meant, just frustrated that his behaviour gets overlooked because he’s seen as a great director.

  13. Sof says:

    No wonder Angelina is looking glowy these days, she doesn’t have to hang out with his artist pals!
    I’m kidding, but what was the need to specify he has artist pals? Like, it’s not just a hobby peasants have, Brad is the real thing?

  14. Pulplove says:

    Is that the storyline of a new “Black Mirror” episode?

    Can’t stop laughing at the mental image of Leo bringing sandwiches and both attempting to sculpture all by themselves.

    • Eleonor says:

      This is hilarious!
      I can totally see Leo clearing his VS models schedule to go sculpting at Brad’s place. Or in his WhatsApp posse group: sorry guys no poker tonight!

  15. Dalia says:

    Movie of the Year!!!

  16. Truthhurts says:

    They have been campaigning for Pitt to win an Oscar since last year. I want to say this again, I have heard too many people say Pitt outshines Leo hence the last article about the last movie star. It’s all pomp and stance. The one reason Pitt is getting some talk is because people want to comfort him. Remember he has been playing the poor dad getting beat up by Angelina for three years. Every time someone posts a pic with him eg. Snoop, the add good man or good father. It’s sickening. Do you honestly think this man doesn’t see his kids? No! But the illusion is they are being kept from him and Angie is every where with them. Therefore you get that illusion, so poor thing being done wrong and he has the pitiful look on his face that is always there now. A note from Aniston.
    We know it’s BS.m, it his friends and for in HW coddle him like no other.
    Leo will not stand a chance at an award because the seed is being planted already paid and unpaid.
    Tom Hanks is a lock for Neighborhood. Oscars are bought and paid for. And is one more silly whit woman calls this man hot I’m going to puke. He is handsome when he dresses up but he has aged terribly and is a long way from hot.

    • 2bounce4u says:

      It could very well be that Brad will get nominated and will win it ala Nicole Kidman.

      • Sidewithkids says:

        If he gets nominated, he won’t win. Just better (dramatic) actors out there than Brad. Maybe he could win a Golden Globe tho in the comedy section. It’s suppose to be a comedy, right? Brad is getting older and you can tell he’s not happy nor comfortable w/ it so he and his team keeps pushing that maybe in order to get the Oscar now.

        Side note: I agree that people are just coddling him and lying for him tho. Plus, he only gets to see four of the kids, no Maddox or Pax and the amt of time he gets is still in question. I find it interesting and telling tho Brad has not done an individual interview for this film, maybe he’s waiting for Ad Astra to come out tho for that. Wonder if there will be hard hitting questions about his behavior and what he really did? What am I saying? Not. The fluff pieces will continue.

  17. Fluffy Princess says:

    How lame is this story?? What other grown ass men in their mid 40s and 50s, go hang out together with sandwiches?? What?? This is just so sad and contrived, no one thinks your cool dudes. Younger people aren’t rushing out to see a Brad Pitt / Leo D movie, they just aren’t.

    Time for you guys to start doing the requisite “Dad” and or “Grandpa” movies … you know, like women of your age.

  18. LOL says:

    Why do I get a vibe of not knowing himself from Pitt? Like he just latches on to others personalities. Odd I just noticed that now

  19. Kelly says:

    Brad is gorgeous

  20. Patty says:

    This sounds a 13 year old’s fanfiction. Both Leo and Brad are adults with a lot going on. They are coworkers, probably nothing more to it. I doubt either of them is really that interested in being buddy buddy with each other.

  21. Original T.C. says:

    The poor tabloids lost their big source of revenue now that Brad is single. They have been working over time in the past three years to link him up with every and any woman he is seen with. Now all they have is Leo is try to make a friends with benefits Brad story out of!

  22. Sidewithkids says:

    LOL. Wait, did this article really start out w/ Demi and Patrick have some stiff competition? I tell you one thing, the more desperate Brad gets in making us believe he has friends and he’s doing good, the funnier his “Sun” pieces get. Thanks for the laugh.

  23. Ms Always Ms says:

    I don’t follow some of the comments that are all “Brad wants to be like the cool kids”. Is Leo a cool kid? Dude’s mid 40s—and only 10 yrs younger than Old Brad.
