Getting close! Pics of Laura and Leo ‘flirting’ have emerged online

Feb 16, 2016

The internet was all a-flutter this morning with the news that Leonardo di Caprio and Irish presenter Laura Whitmore had possibly hit it off at the BAFTAs, and now we have photographic proof.

Yup, not only were the pair at the same party, but they were photographed chatting and laughing together at least once during the night.

According to sources quoted in The Sun today, Laura caught the eye of the Revenant star early on in the night, and was invited back to his penthouse suite at London's Rosewood Hotel for a party that went on well into the early hours of Monday morning.

"Leonardo was completely taken by Laura," the insider said.

"She was playing it cool but he made a beeline for her and they instantly started flirting.

"She loved the attention and they were all over each other, getting on like a house on fire."

Now, The Sun has followed up with pictures of an interaction between Leonardo and the Bray native. In one photo, Leo appears to be laughing while Laura smiles at him, and in another she can be seen leaning in to whisper in his ear.

Although Laura was wearing a turquoise dress for her BAFTAs red carpet appearance – in contrast to the darker outfit and choker she can be seen sporting in the pictures – it's pretty common for guests to have a second outfit ready for award show after-parties.
