DiCaprio and Lawrence previously worked together on 2021's satirical climate film Don't Look Up.

And the two stars have proven to have palpable chemistry as was proven when they sat down for Variety's Actors on Actors interview in December.

At the time, the American Hustle actress had fans in hysterics as she trolled the actor over his controversial proclivity to date much younger women.   

In a viral clip, Lawrence gushed over how 'great' DiCaprio looked playing a father to a teenage daughter played by Infiniti in One Battle After Another.

Many interpreted the comment to be a dig at his romances with women half his age. He is currently dating model Vittoria Ceretti, 27.

'I really loved seeing you be a dad in One Battle After Another,' Lawrence said. 'I'm so sad that you don't have a teenage daughter. You look great with one.'
