Leonardo DiCaprio Doesn’t Want To Party With Justin Bieber; Internet Supports His Decision
"Leo snubs Bieber!", shouts possibly non-existent person.
After spending the last two weeks being vilified for the nasty racist stuff he said as a 15 year-old, Justin Bieber has finally gotten back to what he does best: shirtless obnoxiousness.
Or rather, having his shirtless obnoxiousness obsessively dissected by the internet.
Back in late May, Lainey Gossip ‘reported’ that Leonardo DiCaprio and Bieber were both seen partying at Gotha, Cannes. Like the rest of the internet, Lainey didn’t want to belieb that Leo and Bieber were on the same level, party wise. So imagine the relief when it transpired that Leo gave an almighty snub to his fellow playboy, or play-brat.
As Uproxx would have it, Bieber was being a shirtless perve-o when he spotted Leo in the VIP section with “a bevy of girls”. Bieber did the nightclub sign-language for ‘we should totally hang out’, and got nothing back from Leo. He then had his bodyguard try to set something up, and again got nothing. Needless to say, the internet almost short-circuited from all the schadenfreude.
The Star story (which is impossible to link to for some reason), though, is almost entirely built on the account of an unnamed source, who seems to have enjoyed an omniscient perspective of proceedings. Uproxx and Esquire’s stories about this story (the esteemed BroBible had an interesting angle as well) used the same ‘source’, who said:
Justin was strutting his stuff all over the club, walking around shirtless and scoping out chicks. But when he heard Leo was there, he had his bodyguard muscle a path to where Leo was sitting. Justin was nodding and smiling in Leo’s direction, but Leo just shook his head no and waved him off. He thinks Justin’s a little twit. Leo doesn’t want or need photo ops with publicity-hungry, manufactured pop stars.
Let’s assume this is completely true, just for fun. It’s hard to imagine why Bieber thought he’d have anything in common with a narcissistic, womanising former teen hearthrob, but hey — the innocence of youth. He’ll learn.
