Simon Rex: Leo Meets Jersey Shore

0:00I'm Corey, and this is your Entertainment Pulse, Entertainment and Celebrity News today. Simon Rex shared a wild Hollywood story this week on the Drew Barrymore show. He revealed that he once introduced Leonardo DiCaprio to the Jersey Shore, cast at a Los Angeles Club. It came up during a game where Barrymore read off Rex's claims to find the lie, and this one turned out true. Rex spotted DiCaprio at one table, and the Jersey Shore crew at another. Not close friends, but Rex knew both groups well from his MTV days. When he chatted with DiCaprio, the actor noticed the cast, and admitted he was a fan who wanted to meet them. The Jersey Shore stars were stunned that a big movie star like DiCaprio recognized them. Rex stepped back feeling proud after playing matchmaker. The show had exploded in popularity back in 2009, drawing huge ratings with its drama-filled beach house antics in seaside heights. DiCaprio rarely talks personal stuff, but he confirmed his fandom over a decade ago.
