Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will be the last feature film featuring Luke Perry after his untimely demise.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who stars in the Quentin Tarantino flick alongside Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie shared that he also felt overwhelmed at sharing screen time, and getting to spend time with the late actor.

DiCaprio recalled that he grew up watching Perry's television shows such as Beverly Hills, and 90210, adding: "Luke was the kindest, sweetest human being you could ever encounter. I grew up with him on 90210, looking up to him as literally the coolest dude on Earth and honestly when I was on set, I was starstruck".

He also added “We got to sit down and chat, he couldn’t have been a more amazing human being. It’s a real tragic loss."

Luke Perry passed away earlier this year in March due to a stroke at the age of 52. May he rest in power and we can't wait to see him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
