Leonardo DiCaprio attended the BAFTA Awards at London's Royal Festival Hall accompanied by his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken. DiCaprio, nominated for Best Actor for his role in 'One Battle After Another,' was accompanied by his 82-year-old mother, who was elegantly dressed for the occasion.
Indenbirken, who raised DiCaprio as a single parent in Los Angeles, has been a steadfast source of support throughout his career. She expressed that her unwavering encouragement since he announced his desire to act at age 12 is the reason for his professional achievements.
DiCaprio's parents, Irmelin and George, met in their twenties, with his father being a comic book seller. They reportedly chose his name during a trip to Florence, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. Although his parents separated before he turned one, they maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Despite being a strong contender, DiCaprio ultimately did not win the Best Actor award, which went to Timothée Chalamet. Chalamet had previously secured the Golden Globe for his role in 'Marty Supreme,' making him a betting favorite for the upcoming Oscars.
