# Leonardo DiCaprio's Hilarious Set Blunder: Brad Pitt Mistook His Parents for Extras! Imagine **Brad Pitt** squinting across the set of *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*, convinced that two quirky visitors were just background actors—only to learn they were **Leonardo DiCaprio's** actual parents![1] In a recent interview highlighted by Times of India, DiCaprio shared this unforgettable anecdote from Quentin Tarantino's 2019 blockbuster. His father, George DiCaprio, and Sikh stepmother visited the set during filming. Dressed in '50s retro attire that perfectly matched the film's era—complete with her distinctive turban—Pitt spotted them and asked Leo if they were extras. DiCaprio laughed it off, explaining they dressed up daily for fun, but the mix-up went viral, especially among Indian and Sikh fans thrilled by the cultural surprise.[1] Leo was raised mostly by his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, after his parents' early separation, but he shares a tight bond with his dad and stepmom, who stay out of the spotlight. This story reveals a lighter side of Hollywood's elite, blending family quirks with on-set chaos. Fans are buzzing online, celebrating the unexpected Sikh connection in Leo's life and Pitt's priceless reaction.[1]
