Adam Farrar’s mother married Leonardo DiCaprio’s father George, and the two boys lived a bohemian childhood together in Hollywood – but the similarities end there

He may be known for his playboy reputation and the ever-changing line-up of 20-something models on his arm, but actor Leonardo DiCaprio is quite the family man.

DiCaprio is known to keep his loved ones close to him. He shares an intimate relationship with both his parents, although they separated shortly after his birth; the Hollywood star is often joined by one or the other at events and on the red carpet.

The Killers of the Flower Moon actor was recently seen treating his teenaged niece, Normandie Farrar, to a luxury shopping spree in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Family members aside, DiCaprio is also known to keep and nurture long-term friendships. His camaraderie with the likes of Tobey Maguire, Kate Winslet and Martin Scorsese is familiar to Hollywood-watchers.

Despite all this, DiCaprio has been unable to maintain a good relationship with one family member: 53-year-old stepbrother Adam Farrar, Normandie’s father. DiCaprio’s 50th birthday is just around the corner, but the Daily Mail reports that Farrar hasn’t been invited to celebrate Leo’s big day in more than a decade.
