Leonardo DiCaprio left the Golden Globes audience puzzled after being caught mouthing something to someone across the room, a moment a body language expert noted ‘reveals a different side of him’.
The Titanic actor attended the awards ceremony, where he was up for best actor in a musical or comedy for his role in One Battle After Another.
Ultimately, DiCaprio did not win the award, losing to Timothèe Chalamet for Marty Supreme. Despite this, footage shows him thoroughly enjoying the evening.
In one particular video snippet, the Wolf of Wall Street star can be seen smiling, laughing, and mouthing something to someone else at the event.
The clip quickly caught attention for its resemblance to a viral meme of DiCaprio in Django Unchained.
Many commented that he had ‘created a hundred memes in 30 sec’, which seems evident from the clip.
However, people were curious about what exactly Leo was saying during his mouthing.
Some speculated he might have been mentioning ‘K Pop’, possibly referencing K Pop Demon Hunters, which won best animated film.
The actor was animated, making flamboyant hand gestures as he mouthed across the room during a break.
One individual proposed that DiCaprio might have been saying: “I was watching you with the K pop thing, you were like, who’s that, is that, Oh, K pop.”
Deadline suggested he could have been communicating with his One Battle co-star Chase Infiniti, who is known to appreciate K pop.
Without audio, the true content of his words remains speculative.
Others have offered their interpretations of DiCaprio’s playful moment.
Darren Stanton, speaking for Covers, remarked: “The viral clip featuring Leo is quite revealing. Known for his sense of humor, he appears to be mimicking someone or attempting to amuse others through exaggerated behavior.
“Typically seen as serious and professional, this moment highlights a different facet of his personality.
“It shows that he’s relaxed, ready to joke around, and doesn’t take himself too seriously, aware that the camera is rolling.”
In the film categories, One Battle After Another won best comedy or musical film, along with best director and best screenplay.
In the television categories, the miniseries Adolescence continued its success by winning best limited series, best actor for Stephen Graham, best supporting actress for Erin Doherty, and best supporting actor for Owen Cooper.
