Leonardo DiCaprio is taking on a bold new look in the highly anticipated trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, leaving fans intrigued by his more weathered appearance.

The Oscar-winning actor, 50, is a far cry from his usual baby-faced matinee idol self.

Sporting fine lines on his forehead and a fuller visage, DiCaprio’s signature movie-star charm remains intact, but there’s a notable sense of age and experience in this role.

In the gripping clip, DiCaprio plays a disheveled and distraught revolutionary who reconnects with a group of old allies on a mission to track down his daughter.

The star-studded ensemble cast includes heavyweights like Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti.

In one intense moment, DiCaprio’s character delivers a powerful line: ‘This is Bob Ferguson. I was a part of the French ’75. I cannot remember, for the life of my only child, the answer to your question. I need to find my daughter.’

In this high-stakes thriller/black comedy, Benicio del Toro plays Bob’s sensei, guiding him through a life without fear. 

The intense mentor-student dynamic takes a wild turn when del Toro literally pushes Bob out of a speeding car to prove a point.

One of the trailer’s most gripping moments features DiCaprio pleading with del Toro, ‘I need you, brother. Sensei, Sensei, Sensei, please.’ 

To which del Toro calmly responds, ‘Courage, Bob. Courage.’

A bewildered DiCaprio shoots back, ‘That’s it? Courage. Yeah.’

The trailer culminates with DiCaprio shouting, ‘Viva la revolución!’ as he and del Toro prepare for an all-out battle against their enemies. 

On Thursday, Leonardo also made a major digital move, launching his own YouTube channel to debut the trailer.

While DiCaprio missed out on Licorice Pizza, his father George DiCaprio has a small role as a waterbed salesman, Mr. Jack.

Notably, One Battle After Another marks DiCaprio’s first leading role since 2023’s Killers of the Flower Moon, which earned 10 Oscar nominations.

The trailer for One Battle After Another may have made waves, but it’s Leo’s girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, 26, who’s stealing the spotlight with her bold stance on their relationship. 

The stunning model isn’t about to be reduced to just ‘Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend.’ In fact, she finds it downright annoying, as she told Vogue France.

In her candid interview, Ceretti sidestepped using Leo’s name, instead referring to him simply as a ‘very, very famous movie star.’ 

She even mentioned his iconic role in тιтanic, calling the blockbuster ‘iconic,’ but kept her distance from public labelings.

Ceretti shared that the pair’s bond is strong enough to dodge any jealousy. ‘It’s something you learn. If what you’re experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there’s no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.’

Their relationship, first sparked in Milan, has been steady despite the media whirlwind.

Their romance began shortly after Leo’s rumored fling with Gigi Hadid and, despite the famous exes (Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Camila Morrone), Ceretti seems unfazed. 

As for Leo’s rumored 25 and under rule? Well, Ceretti’s turned 26, and they’re still going strong, much to the surprise of those speculating.

However, there’s been no shortage of drama surrounding the couple.

In March, Leo was spotted at a pre-Oscars party cozied up to songstress Teyana, his co-star in One Battle After Another. 

Sources claimed they shared an intimate moment, with Leo tapping her derriere and Teyana caressing his face.

Then, hours after spending time with Vittoria, Leo was seen at a nightclub with Teyana, sparking rumors of closeness between them. 

But an insider set the record straight, telling DailyMail.com that their connection is strictly platonic.
