He stopped to chat to his Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese on the red carpet and towered over the diminutive filmmaker.

And the popular star also shared a hug with his longtime pal Bradley Cooper, who was nominated as Best Supporting Actor for American Hustle. 

While much has been made about the raunchiness of The Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo insists his mother and father George were not fazed by his performance. 

He told Vanity Fair: 'I am almost 40 years old now, so I'd hope that I wouldn’t have to answer to them. 

'I think that the perception of me is still the child actor. So that, you know, people would wonder what my parents thought. 

'But to tell you the truth, it didn’t faze them whatsoever. I mean, I was reading underground comics in the back of my dad’s station wagon that were much more gratuitous than this at 10 years old, so nothing really affected them on that level.'

'They were looking at a da Vinci painting, and allegedly I started kicking furiously while my mother was pregnant.

'And my father took that as a sign, and I suppose DiCaprio wasn’t that far from Da Vinci.

'And so, my dad, being the artist that he is, said, "That's our boy's name. "'
