Leonardo DiCaprio reunited with his Django Unchained co-star Jamie Foxx on Sunday night and honestly, their bromance is too pure for this world.

The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star, 45, surprised Jamie by presenting him with the Excellence In The Awards award at the American Black Film Festival Honors at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Leo – who tried to sneakily watch the boxing later that night – declared that Jamie, 52, is a ‘magnetic force in any room that he inhabits’ who lifts up everyone around him.

Clearly feeling the love after his pal’s speech, Jamie said, ‘I love you, man.’

He added: ‘You are my friend and my colleague and this means the world.’

Jamie scooped the prestigious gong for his new film Just Mercy and naturally, he slayed his speech.

The Ray actor said the showbiz industry will ‘always need black people’ because they will, ‘tell you what the f**k it really is,’ as the crowd cheered.

‘You can’t slip on your talent, which is why it means so much to get this award,’ he added.

‘People always talk about the Oscar, we got to stop thinking about the Oscar and celebrate our own thing, our own blackness.’

Other honorees at the awards included Harriet actress Cynthia Erivo with the Rising Star Award and Lena Waithe for the Industry Resistance Award.

Jamie and Leo’s friendship goes way back to 2012, when they filmed the slave drama Django Unchained.

Jamie played freed slave turned bounty hunter Djano in the pre-Civil War South, while Leo portrayed ruthless plantation owner Calvin Candie, the vicious owner of Django’s beloved wife.

And while they’re BFFs in real life, they had to snub each other on set because of director Quentin Tarantino’s orders.

Jamie recalled how one day Leo completely ignored him.

‘I said, “What’s up, Leo?”‘ he told Oprah on her show Oprah’s Next Chapter.

‘He did not speak to me. I asked myself, “Did he not hear me?”‘

The singer said his co-star maintained the silent treatment all day.

‘He went way in to where it’s like, “Okay, now you’re really going there. And that was what was needed,’ Jamie recalled.
