Ratner’s caption read: ‘Congratulations to @officialoliverstone on his latest documentary masterpiece, LULA! Thank you Fernando Sulichin @suli.fer for bringing @ratpacent @festivaldecannes’ together.
The businessman has continued to show off his recent weight loss.
James has lost more than 70 pounds (33 kg) in the past two years and has also left the psychiatric medications that altered his mood for so long.
James told The Weekend Australian in June 2022 that he was ready to embark on the ‘third act’ of his life, including a planned return to his hometown of Sydney.
‘I now weigh about 130 kg and want to weigh 100 kg again by the end of 2022. “I want to swim at Bondi with my kids next year when we’re all together in Sydney and weigh 100kg,” he said from his home in Mexico.

James revealed he had stopped taking the antidepressants and antipsychotics he was taking, and now wanted to ‘rehabilitate’ his reputation in Australia.
In a subsequent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, James said he had lost a total of 33kg by quitting alcohol, following a strict diet and exercise regime and limiting his daily calorie intake.
He has been working on his health and was spotted taking an afternoon walk in the picturesque Beverly Hills neighborhood in March.
James also spent time with his ex-wife Jodhi Meares in Los Angeles in January, going for a walk together.
The former couple married in a lavish ceremony in Sydney in 1999. About 750 guests attended and Elton John performed at the reception.
However, they separated three years later in 2002 and divorced shortly after. Even though their marriage fell apart, they have remained friends.
