Leonardo DiCaprio turned heads at the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday night, debuting a full moustache reminiscent of Old Hollywood. The 51-year-old actor, who lost the best actor award for his role in One Battle After Another, sported the new look reportedly for his upcoming Martin Scorsese film What Happens at Night, a gothic psychological horror co-starring Jennifer Lawrence.
Fans quickly compared DiCaprio to Tom Selleck, the 81-year-old Friends actor famous for his bushy moustache. Social media buzzed with comments like 'Looks so much like Tom Selleck here' and 'It’s giving old Hollywood,' while others joked he was taking facial hair tips from Pedro Pascal.
DiCaprio also hard-launched his romance with Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, 27, bringing her as his plus one. The couple, first linked in summer 2023, sat together in the audience but skipped the red carpet. This marks the first time DiCaprio has brought a girlfriend to the Oscars since 2020, when he attended with Camila Morrone.
Ceretti has been a constant presence at DiCaprio's side in recent months, accompanying him to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in Venice and the Met Gala. In a Vogue France interview, she acknowledged the 'girlfriend of' label but said, 'If you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed.' Sources told the Standard the relationship is the most serious DiCaprio has had in years, with talks of a family.
Despite DiCaprio's loss, his film One Battle After Another won six Oscars, including best picture, best director, and best supporting actor for Sean Penn. The actor sought solace in Ceretti after the ceremony.
