For those who think love is totally dead, perhaps this Hollywood bromance will change your mind.

Everybody knows that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill have a strong friendship. Whether appearing together on Saturday Night Live or stealing scenes together on The Wolf of Wall Street, this duo goes way back and remains close buds to this day.

But perhaps their friendship really comes alive away from any stage. Maybe it happens on the streets of New York City.

In new video obtained by E! News, cameras caught Leonardo walking in the Big Apple as he searched for his close friend. As soon as he laid eyes on Jonah, however, the Oscar winner didn't just shout his name or give him a friendly wave. Nah, it's time for a hilarious prank.

As Jonah listened to music in his headphones, Leonardo pulled out his iPhone and ran straight towards his close friend. What came next was one shocked (and hilarious) reaction.

For those wondering why Jonah looked so scared, perhaps it's simply because he didn't expect a grown man to run up to his face. Or maybe it goes back to those scary Wolf of Wall Street scenes.

"Any time you do any sort of physical scene with Leonardo DiCaprio, he doesn't understand that it's acting and he beats the living crap out of you for six months," Hill joked at a Variety Screening Series Q&A. "Since he's bigger than me, I couldn't physically beat him up back so I had to figure out a way to get back at him with my brain."

Whatever the case may be, Operation Scare Jonah can still be a complete success.
