Leonardo DiCaprio and his ‘One Battle After Another’ co-star Benicio del Toro became the latest Hollywood stars to sit down with Jason and Travis Kelce for an episode of New Heights this week.
‘First podcast,’ DiCaprio told the movie-buff brothers, who didn’t bother containing their excitement.
If DiCaprio was claiming this was his first ever podcast interview, he wasn’t being accurate. For instance, he joined Brad Pitt on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast in 2020 to discuss ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.’
Regardless, DiCaprio and del Toro represent another in a growing number of big-name stars to do an episode of New Heights, which Travis described to the group as: ‘The most unprofessional podcast there has ever been.’
Previously, Taylor Swift’s appearance on New Heights set podcast records with half a billion video views, but Travis’ fiancee was just one in a laundry list of A-listers, like Shaquille O’Neal, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Will Ferrell.
As a result, Jason’s improving introduction skills impressed his new friends.

Both del Toro and DiCaprio were impressed with Jason Kelce’s introduction skills
‘Ho baby our guests today have between them four Golden Globe awards, two Academy Awards, their films have grossed almost $14 billion at the box office,’ elder brother Jason began in the episode that will drop Wednesday.
DiCaprio responded by saying: ‘That’s an intro.’
‘That was an intro,’ del Toro agreed.
‘That was like the WWF,’ DiCaprio added, using the WWE’s former initials.
Del Toro dubbed the intro a ‘Hall of Famer.’
Not much of the interview is revealed in the teaser clip.
At one point, DiCaprio removes half of his headphones to allow him to hear del Toro seated next to him.
‘So I’m gonna keep this open so I can hear you,’ DiCaprio told del Toro.
Travis responded with some encouragement: ‘Guys are pros already.’
Travis and DiCaprio may not be strangers.
The two were seen partying at The Birds Street Club in West Hollywood in the summer of 2024. Sources told gossip blog Duexmoi that Kelce, NBA star Tristan Thompson and DiCaprio were all co-mingling inside before gradually leaving the venue around 1.30am.
