It was Leos galore in New Jersey on Saturday as lookalikes for a DiCaprio lookalike contest battled it out on stage for a $50 cash prize.
Among the seven contestants from places like Philadelphia and Providence was Nick Fine, 21, who was eventually crowned the winner. The swarthy local confessed to The Post he was thrilled to be likened to the handsome Academy Award-winning heartthrob.
“It’s an absolute honor. I’m just very grateful I came to the pier this morning. I’m a big Leo fan, love his movies,” smiled Fine, who went on to name “Shutter Island” as his favorite DiCaprio flick.
