No entourage. No red carpet. Just father and son. Leonardo DiCaprio spent Tuesday evening the old-fashioned way — sharing a quiet dinner with his dad in Beverly Hills. On February 17, the Oscar-winning actor was spotted heading into Funke, one of the neighborhood’s most talked-about Italian restaurants, for a one-on-one night out with his father, George DiCaprio.
The choice of venue was far from random. Funke, created by renowned chef Evan Funke, has become a magnet for celebrity diners thanks to its refined take on Italian cuisine. Tucked in the heart of Beverly Hills, it’s the kind of place where privacy and prestige meet.
But what made this outing stand out wasn’t the restaurant — it was the company.
Leonardo’s parents, George and Irmelin, separated shortly after he was born. Despite the early split, they managed to keep things amicable. In fact, after their divorce, they chose to live in neighboring homes so they could raise their son together, taking turns in his upbringing. That unusual arrangement helped shape the close bond Leonardo has maintained with both of them — especially his father.
Photos captured the pair as they made their way into the restaurant. The 51-year-old actor appeared relaxed and low-key. For the first time in a while, he stepped out without a medical mask, showing his face openly. He wore dark blue denim jeans and a matching jacket layered over a zip-up hoodie, finishing the look with a black LA-logo baseball cap.
His 82-year-old father opted for a more classic silhouette — a long black jacket over a crisp white shirt, paired with slim gray trousers. Polished, understated, confident.
George DiCaprio isn’t just “Leo’s dad.” He’s an artist in his own right — a comic book creator, writer, and performance artist who has spent decades in creative circles. That shared artistic foundation has long been part of their connection.
This wasn’t a flashy Hollywood moment. It was something quieter. A midweek dinner. Two generations. A relationship that has clearly stood the test of time.
