Teyana Taylor and Leonardo DiCaprio star in Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film One Battle After Another, set to release on September 26.

The two first met at Diana Ross' birthday party, where they immediately connected, with DiCaprio praising Taylor's sense of humor and talent, anticipating she would 'bring the heat.' Taylor described their initial encounter as sizing each other up while she was chewing gum, and they quickly became inseparable. On set, Taylor was initially starstruck but later praised DiCaprio as a mentor and great leader who balances professionalism with lightheartedness. Their film, inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, follows a group of ex-revolutionaries reuniting to rescue a member's daughter, updated to a contemporary setting.
