Rice University is not known for being particularly cool. But its hipness has just gone way up — or at least beyond the hedges.

None other than Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted Thursday night cheering on the Los Angeles Lakers in a Rice University baseball cap. The image has spread quickly among Rice students and alums.

But how did Leo come to own such a hat? Maybe he has an unknown Houston connection and hoots for the Owls. Or maybe he has no idea, and picked up the scripted "R" because it stands for Revolutionary Road. Or Romeo + Juliet. Or maybe even Roseanne.

See Leo's Roseanne cameo below, near the 7:30 mark:
