United Kingdom, Jan. 19 -- Leonardo DiCaprio privately raved to Ben Affleck about "incredible" Teyana Taylor.

The 51-year-old actor worked with the singer-and-actress on One Battle After Another and he couldn't have recommended her more highly to her future co-stars on The Rip.

Ben told Entertainment Weekly: "I talked to Paul [Thomas Anderson], and it was like, everybody raves about her.

"I ran into DiCaprio, and he had nothing but incredible things to say.

"And these are informal conversations, not in front of a camera or anything, where people will often say, 'Uh, it was tough,' or some kind of signal that maybe it's not what it seems or whatever.

"But she's really the opposite of that, and she blows people away."
