Leonardo DiCaprio, Bo Dietl dine at Rao’s


It was a “Wolf of Wall Street” reunion at Rao’s when Leonardo DiCaprio dined with Bo Dietl, the former NYPD detective who appeared with DiCaprio in the 2013 movie by Martin Scorsese.

Dietl, who has held the number 1 table at the East Harlem restaurant every Thursday since 1977, took Scorsese there years ago and the director cast 18 people from Rao’s in the film.

DiCaprio, invited by financier Andrew Murstein, brought his father George to dinner, joining Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Sid Rosenberg from WABC Radio and Dr. Stephen O’Brien, the orthopedic surgeon whose wife Stacey Feinberg was recently appointed U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg.

Insiders say DiCaprio worked the room like a pro — posing for selfies and humoring FaceTime calls from starstruck daughters.

Dietl said DiCaprio, who is as busy as can be, “was talking about a remake of ‘Heat,’” the 1995 classic starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

Alexis Silva is a 16-year-old high school student with a 12-inch scar across her abdomen after an eight-hour surgery to remove an adrenal gland tumor.

“I didn’t know if I would make it to 16. It was incredibly terrifying,” she told me.

Silva — the daughter of Keni Silva, who dates Mohamed Hadid, the father of models Bella and Gigi Hadid — is also a singer who has written 30 songs.

Her latest song, “Proof of Life,” premieres July 4.

She made her first tune, “The Fight’s Not Over Yet,” into a video that was seen by Billy Ray Cyrus, the father of Miley Cyrus, who reached out to her and gave her the jacket he wore on tour with Lil Nas X.

Cyrus also wrote a song for Dolly Parton, “The Book of Broken Dreams,” but gave it to Silva instead.

“He told me, ‘I want you to have it.’ I’m so honored. Without the bad, you wouldn’t know how good the good is.”

Silva, a teen ambassador for the Children’s Oncology Support Fund, has founded The Fight’s Not Over Yet Foundation dedicated to helping children overcome their cancers.

Tom Brady caused heads to swivel in Miami as he headed to the nightclub M2 on Washington Avenue in South Beach at approximately 10 p.m.

Miami police forced the football legend — who was picking up his daughter from a bar mitzvah — to park his car way down the block because of strict nighttime parking restrictions.

Wide-eyed fans yelled out “Hey Tom!” and took photos as Brady kept walking with his arm wrapped around his “little girl.”

Brady lives nearby on Indian Creek Island, also known as “Billionaire Bunker” because his neighbors are Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima, billionaire Carl Icahn and singer Julio Iglesias.

The GOAT lives in a $20 million house with his three children: John “Jack” Edward (17), Benjamin Rein (15), and Vivian Lake (12).

Supermodel Gisele Bündchen, the mother of the younger two kids, lives nearby and recently welcomed a son with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

The famous Strindberg play, which co-stars Maggie Siff and Justice Smith, is about a husband and wife and the man who seeks to destroy them — convincingly played by Schreiber.

Maguire confessed to the “Ray Donovan” star that they almost missed the show, as they were only able to score seats minutes before the curtain went up at the sold-out Minetta Lane Theatre.

Luckily, the theater manager stepped in and gave them a pair of house seats.

Maguire, Otis, Paul Giamatti, Stephanie Hsu, Edward Norton and his wife, Shauna Robertson, led the standing ovation.
