Sources reveal rift in Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire's friendship due to Sean Penn

Tobey Maguire reportedly feels sidelined in his friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio due to the actors growing closeness with Sean Penn. The two-time Academy Award winner and Penn recently collaborated on the film One Battle After Another, released this September, sparking a reported strong camaraderie that has left Tobey feeling excluded.

While Tobey and Leonardo have shared a longstanding friendship, sources indicate that their bond has weakened with Sean Penns entrance. The trio first connected professionally on the 2013 film The Great Gatsby, where they played neighboring characters. However, Leo and Seans recent interactions appear to dominate Leos attention.

Its really getting to Tobey, but right now, Leos focused on his friendship with Sean, and Tobey isnt part of it, a source told RadarOnline. The insider adds that Sean has specifically sought one-on-one time with Leonardo, and the two have connected over mutual interests, including Italian cuisine.

Despite the tension, Tobeys friendship with Leonardo may not be entirely lost. Recently, Leonardo and his girlfriend, Vitoria Ceretti, joined Tobey for Thanksgiving, suggesting there may still be room for reconciliation. Historically, Leonardo has maintained casual ties with Sean through mutual connections like Robert De Niro, but since 2024, their friendship has intensified, seemingly pushing Tobey aside.

The situation mirrors other recent shifts in Leonardos social circle. He has reportedly grown distant from Bradley Cooper, who is currently dating Leonardos ex, Gigi Hadid.

While Sean Penns presence appears to have caused friction, there is hope that Leo and Tobeys friendship may endure despite the temporary strain.
