Leo DiCaprio was spotted dining at impossible-to-get-into East Harlem eatery Rao’s with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and entrepreneur Andrew Murstein, spies told Page Six.
A spy said: “Leo was extremely friendly and took a dozen photos with fans, and at least five video chats on FaceTime” with enthusiastic customers’ impressed family and friends.
Murstein — who’s a board member of the Hamptons International Film Festival — hosted a VIP dinner where guests also included Leo’s “Wolf of Wall Street” co-star Bo Dietl and ABC Radio’s Sid Rosenberg, along with DiCaprio’s dad, George, and stepmother.
Sources overheard Blakeman’s push to turn Nassau County into ‘Hollywood East,” highlighting more than $533 million in economic impact driven by Grumman and Gold Coast Studios in Bethpage.
Lots of “Wolf of Wall Street” was shot in Nassau County.
The first source added, “A lot of security was there — but not for Leo. There were five security detail people for Blakeman.”
The source pointed out that, “Bruce’s first wife [Nancy Shevell] is now married to Paul McCartney,” and joked that at Rao’s, “No Beatles songs were played on the jukebox… just Sinatra.”
Blakeman was previously commissioner for the New York-New Jersey Port Authority, as well as a Nassau County legislator and Hempstead town councilman.
