Leonardo DiCaprio showed off his laid-back style while grabbing lunch at Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles on Monday.

The Oscar winner, 49, kept it casual in a black zip-up hoodie, a Los Angeles baseball hat, khaki pants and comfortable sneakers.

The Titanic star — who has publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election — rocked a smattering of facial hair and shielded his eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

The Bird Streets Club — named after the secluded residential neighborhood in West Hollywood above the Sunset Strip — is a private members-only club known for its exclusive atmosphere.

Over the years, Bird Streets has been home to a number of celebrities including DiCaprio, Jerry Seinfeld, Jodie Foster, Herbie Hancock, Keanu Reeves and more.

The actor also took to his Instagram on Monday to share a message of support for Harris and the Democrats ahead of Tuesday's all-important election.

The Los Angeles native shared two text slides, explaining why voting for Harris was 'a vote for the climate.'

'As District Attorney, she established one of the nation's first environmental justice units. As Attorney General, she won millions in settlements against Big Oil and held polluters accountable,' read the first slide.

'As a U.S. Senator, she led legislation on clean air, clean water, and climate resilience. As Vice President, she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the largest investment in climate action ever.'

'As President, Kamala Harris will unite Americans to tackle the climate crisis as she builds on this historic work.'

The second slide featured four bullet points about what could happen 'when you vote for climate', including 'clean energy jobs', 'work on emissions reduction', 'launch of the first-ever American Climate Corps', and 'investments in clean water, climate resilience, and environmental justice.'

'We're only a day away from the election, and a vote for @kamalaharris is a vote for the climate. Her record shows how she will tackle environmental policies as well as the opportunity we have to address the climate crisis,' he wrote in the caption.

'If you haven't cast your ballot yet, it's not too late. Go to IWillVote.com to see how you can make your voice heard in this election.'

'And if you're looking to get the word out about voting for the climate, head to Go.KamalaHarris.com (shown on the last slide) to see what action you can take in these last, but very critical, moments.'

DiCaprio previously endorsed Harris in a video posted to his Instagram on Friday, as he praised the Democratic nominee for her ambitious goals of achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and building a 'green' economy.

He cited the devastation wrought by hurricanes Helene and Milton - which he called 'unnatural disasters caused by climate change' - as a reason for an aggressive climate policy as he slammed former President Donald Trump for pulling out of the Paris climate accord.

'Climate change is killing the Earth and ruining our economy,' DiCaprio told his 61.2million Instagram followers. 'We need a bold step forward to save our economy, our planet and ourselves.'

'That's why I'm voting for Kamala Harris,' he said.

The actor began his video by speaking about the recent hurricanes.

'Families lost homes, livelihoods and loved ones to some of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever recorded,' which he said cost $100billion in damages, DiCaprio told his followers.

'Make no mistake, these unnatural disasters were caused by climate change,' he asserted.

DiCaprio then went on to claim that Trump 'continues to deny the facts' and 'deny the science' of climate change, as he criticized the former president for his decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord and roll back 'critical environmental protections.'

'Now he's promised the oil and gas industry that he'll get rid of any regulation they want in exchange for a billion-dollar donation,' the Shutter Island star alleged.

He concluded the video by pleading with his followers to 'Join me in voting for Kamala Harris on November 5 because we cannot afford to go backwards.'

He added in the caption for his video that Harris 'has helped lead the most significant climate action in US history, and under her leadership, we will be able to accomplish ambitious goals on climate policy that will move our country forward.'

Harris has received the support of several other Hollywood bigwigs including Taylor Swift, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, George Clooney and Chris Rock.

The VP spent all of Monday in Pennsylvania, the largest prize among the states expected to determine the Electoral College outcome.

Trump, meanwhile, held the final rally of his 2024 campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the Van Andel Arena.
