LeBron James Recalls Dinner With DiCaprio as Al Pacino Drops In

The story comes from an ESPN season-long Q&A on his off-court ties.

Overview

  • James, in an ESPN interview published Wednesday, said he dined with Leonardo DiCaprio at Avra in Beverly Hills when Al Pacino later joined the table.
  • He said DiCaprio described Once Upon a Time in Hollywood before filming began, which James called a wild moment to hear firsthand.
  • James added that Pacino was surprised by how much he knew The Godfather, which James calls his favorite movie.
  • He said he was not starstruck but called Pacino and DiCaprio two of the greatest actors of all time.
  • Outlets reporting the interview note the dinner likely happened before the film’s 2019 release, with references to a 2018 sighting that have not been independently verified.
