LeBron James shared a memorable story about an unexpected encounter with Leonardo DiCaprio, recalling how the two connected over dinner and discussed a major film project before it even began production.
The moment stood out to him not just because of the conversation, but also because of the surprising company that joined them later.
“I got dinner with Leo at Avra in Beverly Hills, and he told us about ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ before he started filming it. That was crazy. I don’t remember how our connection started.
“I don’t know if Mav [Carter] set that up, I have no idea. But I just showed up and Leo was there. And then Al Pacino showed up.”
