" When I want someone to be my friend , I just make them my friend . " — Leo , 2014
What if I told you thatLeonardo DiCaprio, age 48, andTobey Maguire, age 47, wear matching wolf necklaces? Because…yeah, they wear matching wolf necklaces.
The two were spotted arriving together at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris earlier this week. Leonardo wore a Dodgers hat and a wolf necklace…
…and Tobey also wore a Dodgers hat and a wolf necklace.
Now, Tobey and Leo have been friends since the latter was 12. In fact, their friendship began after young Leo recognized Tobey walking down the street (they’d both done the same auditions) and got his mom to stop the car. He toldEsquirein 2014, “I was like, ‘Tobey! Tobey! Hey! Hey!’ And he was like, ‘Oh, yeah — I know you. You’re…that guy.’ But I just made him my pal. When I want someone to be my friend, I just make them my friend.”
That being said, the matching necklaces may be less surprising to you if the words “pussy posse” mean anything to you. Yes, “pussy posse"refers to the groupthe men had (have?) with fellow actors like Lukas Haas and Kevin Connolly, originating in the mid-’90s. Apparently, magician David Blaine was alsopartof the posse at one point. A 1998New Yorkmagazineprofileof Leo refers to the posse as “Leo’s pack” who “used to see each other at auditions all the time” — turning competitors into friends.
However, the pussy posse is no more — at least, not by name. After the 2016 Oscars, where Leo finally won his Best Actor award, one partygoertold the New York Daily News, “They (apparently) called themselves ‘the Wolf Pack.' The crew was literally howling like wolves all night. They kept chanting, ‘Wolf Pack, Wolf Pack, Wolf Pack!’”
And now, in the year of 2023…wolf necklaces.
Take from this what you will!
