California Gov. Gavin Newsom was spotted rubbing elbows with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars in Malibu Friday night as the drama over Paramount’s merger battle dragged on.
Newsom was seen leaving the hot spot restaurant Nobu along along with actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and Tobey Maguire.
De Niro co-owns the iconic Japanese spot, where the actors sat down for dinner with the governor, according to TMZ.
De Niro has been one of President Trump’s fiercest celebrity critics, urging Americans to “resist, resist, resist” during a podcast interview in February.
He has also praised Newsom for his confrontational approach to the president on social media. De Niro endorsed Kamala Harris for president in 2024.
The star-studded outing came amid questions over Paramount potentially leaving the state over a legal battle regarding the company’s planned $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other state attorneys general sued to block the deal over antitrust concerns.
Paramount CEO David Ellison has threatened to move the studio out of the Golden State if the dispute is not resolved, raising concerns about the potential loss of thousands of entertainment jobs.
