People have been talking about who will be Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar date weeks before the awards night. Will it be his girlfriend Toni Garrn or his rumored fling Nina Agdal? Both supermodels will definitely look great together with one of the hottest actors on this planet, but he chose his mom to be his date.
A few weeks before the Big Night, the 39-year old actor revealed to Entertainment Tonight who his date is for the Oscars. He said, "I'm probably going to bring my mother. The truth is I don't think I would be standing here doing any of this stuff, nor have a career of any kind, if it weren't for her listening to a kid, at 12 years old, who said, 'I want to be an actor, and this is what I'm sure I want to do.' And her driving me to auditions every day after school is what made all this possible."
Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar date, Irmelin DiCaprio, has raised him on her own in Los Angeles ever since she got divorced to his dad. Leo was only one year old when that happened so it must have been tough for Irmelin to balance different jobs and at the same time fulfilling her role as a good mother. No wonder the actor is so proud of his mother and even said to ET, "For me, it's an honor to bring her."
Born in Germany, the mother of the Oscar nominated actor sparkled on the red carpet wearing a gold body-hugging dress whereas "The Wolf of Wall Street" star looked dashing wearing a sleek suit. No we all know where the talented actor got his youthful glow. Leo may not have won the Best Actor award, but he looked like a real winner at the Oscars because he has his loving mother by his side. Irmelin must have felt really special that night to be Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar date.
