Spencer Pratt claims Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx privately backed LA mayoral run
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of Los Angeles against Mayor Karen Bass and Nithya Raman. Several celebrities have already shown support for Pratt. Now, he claims two more major stars are backing him privately - Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx.
According to Pratt, both celebrities privately pledged support for his campaign. He described getting their approval as “an out-of-body experience.”
The veteran TV personality has also received attention from President Donald Trump. Earlier this year, Pratt lost his family home in the 2025 Palisades fires, which destroyed nearly 6,837 structures, including historic landmarks, churches, schools, and libraries.

According to Pratt, the interactions left a lasting impression on him. He also suggested that the conversations reflected concerns about safety in Los Angeles.
“There are two Hollywood heavyweights that Pratt claims have privately pledged their support.
‘Usually I don't name-drop, but I had two of my favorite people ever support me. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx both said, “Please, Mr Mayor, we want these streets safe again,”’ Pratt tells Us Weekly in a new interview. ‘If their reps try to deny this happened, I have multiple witnesses. It was an out-of-body experience.’”
However, as Entertainment Weekly reported, representatives for DiCaprio and Foxx did not respond regarding the claim.
