Overview
- An official Golden Globes TikTok shows Jacob Elordi introducing his mother, Melissa, to Sean Penn and Leonardo DiCaprio backstage before she turns back to continue speaking with Penn.
- DiCaprio gestures to introduce his mother, Irmelin Indenbirkin, as Jacob tries to redirect the interaction, prompting commenters to say he was left hanging.
- Viewer reactions on the post range from sympathy for DiCaprio to suggestions that the moment was an innocent oversight in a noisy, crowded setting.
- Both actors were nominees on the night but left without wins, with Timothée Chalamet taking Best Actor over DiCaprio and Stellan Skarsgård and Stephen Graham prevailing in Elordi’s categories.
- A separate broadcast moment featuring DiCaprio discussing K‑pop remains partly unresolved after conflicting public comments about whether Teyana Taylor was his conversation partner.
