Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he rubbed shoulders with Sir Mick Jagger at a celebration of his latest film One Battle After Another on Thursday evening.
The Hollywood actor, 51, who often keeps a low profile in a cap and dark glasses, looked in great spirits at the event at The Hart Pub in Marylebone London.
He kept his look simple in a satin shirt and black tailored jacket as he posed with the Rolling Stones legend, 82, who wore a bright orange and purple scarf and black cap.
The pair were also joined at the event by Pierce Brosnan and his son Dylan as the threesome smiled together.
Director Olivia Wilde was also in attendance alongside Hannah Waddingham and Richard Gadd.
On Wednesday Leonardo looked handsome in a brown plaid suit as he attended an in-conversation at BFI Southbank to promote his latest film.

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is an action-thriller based loosely on Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, has been greeted with five-star reviews across the board and even deemed ‘the defining film of a generation’.
One Battle After Another sees Leo playing Bob Ferguson, a dishevelled and distraught revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia off-grid with his daughter Willa, whom he shares with Teyana Taylor’s character Perfidia.
The film follows Bob as he reconnects with a group of allies on a mission to track down his daughter, with Benicio Del Toro playing his sensei, guiding him through a life without fear.
The high-stakes thriller and black comedy also stars Sean Penn as Bob’s evil nemesis, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw, and Regina Hall as revolutionary Deandra.
During the conversation at the BFI on Wednesday, Leonardo said: ‘One of the fundamentally great things about Paul is he puts a tremendous amount of thought into what he does and I feel like he kind of stews over ideas, and obviously that later manifests itself on screen.
‘But I remember [first] having a conversation with him years ago. He kind of casually came up to visit me and my friend [actor] Lukas [Haas], at my place and we were just kind of talking.
‘It wasn’t particularly about a project, but I could tell he was tuning his fork. There was a reference to maybe working together sometime in the distant future, like this ominous cloud, and I said to my friend Lukas, ‘Do you think we’re talking about a project? I have no idea.’
‘And then, conversations started to build, Paul notoriously lives in Tarzana, which, if you don’t know, is kind of a section of Los Angeles that is within and without — it’s far away from Los Angeles, but it’s driving distance.

‘So I went to visit him there, and I remember this strange restaurant that felt almost out of The Shining.
‘Like, there were no customers, but a fully working staff, and the food was pretty decent. It seemed like it was kind of from the ’70s.
‘And there was another conversation there, then it kind of melded its way into workshops, and then, finally, you hear that there’s a script.’
Winning praise from the top in the film reviews, Steven Spielberg gushed: ‘What an insane movie, oh my God. There is more action in the first hour of this than every other film you’ve ever directed put together. Everything it is really incredible…
‘This is such a concoction of things that are so bizarre and at the same time so relevant, that I think have become increasingly more relevant than perhaps even when you finished the screenplay and assembled your cast and crew and began production.’
In a five-star rating from The Daily Mail, Brian Viner writes: ‘DiCaprio’s is not even the most eye-catching performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s irresistibly funny, thunderously exhilarating film.
‘Sean Penn pinches every scene he’s in as an unhinged army officer, driven first by lust and later by loathing, whose downfall, when it comes, is one of the most startling things you will see in the cinema this year.
‘Anderson has already made one of the best pictures of the 21st century, in 2007’s There Will be Blood. This one, loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, is comparably fine.’
He added: ‘He knows he’s made something special, indeed the next time we hear him might be when he holds aloft an Academy Award.’
