Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio at New York Eatery The Lion - - Business Affairs Were Discussed at Dinner

Blake Lively has been spotted dining with Leonardo DiCaprio at New York eatery The Lion.

But the A-List duo was part of a much larger group according to reports and it was strictly work-related.

'It was an eight person dinner,' an insider revealed.

Oscar-winner Baz Luhrmann also numbered amongst the group and DiCaprio has reportedly been cast to star in the Australian director's big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic The Great Gatsby. Lively is reportedly a contender to play the part of Daisy Buchanan in the film.

Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley and Michelle Williams are also being considered for the part, Deadline reports.

Lively recently split from her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley, while DiCaprio has been dating Israeli model Bar Refaeli for four years.
