Jameela Jamil Explains Why She Turned Down An Invitation To A Leonardo DiCaprio-Hosted Party on 'Fallon'!

Jameela Jamil paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (January 29) and told a hilarious story about her horrifying first A-list Hollywood party!

The 33-year-old Good Place star shared the story of her first legit Hollywood event that resulted in her turning down an invitation to party with Leonardo DiCaprio.

“I don’t go to any award ceremony or any party for longer than about 20 or 30 minutes, because of my first big Hollywood party. Maybe three years ago, I just shot The Good Place, but no one knew who I was. I got invited to this giant Oscars party full of absolute A-list stars. You had Charlize Theron, Gwyneth [Paltrow] was there, Edward Norton, it was insane,” Jameela recalled. “I’m walking around on my own trying to find people to talk to, starting conversations with these A-listers who are looking at me like I’m just a very over-confident cleaner. And no one wants to talk to me, so after a while, I find myself lurking around the buffet area.”

“The food is incredible at these things, and no one eats the food! None of them eat the goddamn food. So, I had a bite of steak, it was incredible and I was like, ‘No one else is eating this, I should take some of this home with me,’” Jameela continued. “And so, I take a plate and I pile a steak on, and I’m like, ‘I could take, like, 10 more of these.’ So, I pile 10 giant steaks onto a plate. I have Gwyneth Paltrow in front of me. She turns around and looks at me, and I was like, ‘Atkins.’ And she was like, ‘Cool.’ And I grabbed a cloth napkin, I put it over the plate, flipped it, bundled all the steaks up, they start bleeding.”

Jameela went on to explain that she began to “panic” and “waddling so fast” away from the scene that she eventually ran into Muse‘s Matt Bellamy, and that’s where DiCaprio came in: “I know him, he’s English, we know each other from England, everyone knows each other. He stops me and is like, ‘Hey, I just got here. I’m about to go to this party Leonardo DiCaprio is having in a hotel room. Do you want to come?’ I was like—I did, I wanted to go, but I was like—’I've just been through so much to get these steaks.’ I had tears in my eyes, so I was like, ‘I just have to go home.’ And so, I took these bleeding steaks home and I ate them by myself.”

Jameela also brought Jimmy a full meal hidden in her outfit, talked about her boyfriend James Blake‘s Grammy-nominated album and the grand finale of her show The Good Place.
