Leonardo DiCaprio is looking back on the time he brought his parents to work and Brad Pitt mistook them for extras.
In a recent interview, DiCaprio recalled inviting his father and stepmother to the set of Quentin Tarantino’s period drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, where they blended right in with the onscreen talent — to the point where Pitt refused to believe they were his costar’s folks and not paid actors.
“I remember that moment, we were turning a corner out of Musso & Frank’s onto Hollywood Boulevard and I said to Brad, ‘That’s my dad and that’s my stepmom there,'” DiCaprio told Time magazine. “And he goes, ‘Ha, ha. Yeah, right.'”
The Oscar-winning actor said he tried to convince his costar that it really was his parents they were driving past, but Pitt wouldn’t budge.
“I’m like, ‘I know they look like they’re extras in this movie, but that’s really them,'” DiCaprio said as he began to laugh. “That’s how they dress every day!'”
He added, “It was an amazing moment. I’ll never forget that moment.”

Clooney on Rebooting ‘Oceans’
But there’s one franchise Clooney plans to revive — “Ocean’s Eleven.” Although instead of a nostalgia play, he wants to explore what it’s like to pull off a heist when you’re no longer young and spry. He was inspired by the movie “Going in Style,” a ’70s comedy about a group of aging criminals, and he’s enlisted Roberts, Damon, Pitt and Don Cheadle to return as an older, but wiser gang. They are scouting locations and hope to start shooting next October.
“There was something about the idea that we’re too old to do what we used to do, but we’re still smart enough to know how to get away with something, that just appeals to me,” Clooney says. “They’ve lost a step, and they need to find a way to work around their limitations.”

Brad Pitt Won’t Join The Batman 2 Cast
According to a new report from THR’s Heat Vision newsletter, Pitt’s role in the movie got a disappointing update. The newsletter notes that Pitt will not be in the movie despite previous rumors suggesting he was being eyed. With The Batman: Part II beginning to eye filming, THR notes that Pitt is not involved in the production.
In another report from Jeff Sneider of The InSneider, more information on Pitt’s involvement was mentioned. According to Sneider, director Matt Reeves was eyeing Pitt to play the role of Christopher Dent, the father of iconic Batman character Harvey Dent.
As for why Pitt won’t be in the movie, Sneider said it ended up being a simple case of conflicting schedules. Pitt is currently set to be filming Edward Berger’s The Riders when The Batman: Part II will be filming, and won’t be able to be on both productions at once.
