Leonardo DiCaprio’s Off-Camera Golden Globes Clip Goes Viral After Good-Humored Roast

A candid break-time video highlighted a rarely seen, animated side of the nominee, contrasting with his managed public persona.

Overview

  • Host Nikki Glaser joked about DiCaprio’s history of dating younger women during her opening monologue, then called the gag “cheap” as part of the bit.
  • DiCaprio took the jokes in stride, smiling, nodding and giving a thumbs-up as cameras cut to him in the audience.
  • A commercial-break video shared by New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan showed DiCaprio animatedly recounting a moment from the show, with online lip-readers speculating—without confirmation—that he referenced K-pop.
  • The Golden Globes’ official TikTok also posted the longer clip, which drew wide social media attention for revealing a more expressive off-air moment.
  • DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor (Musical or Comedy) for One Battle After Another but lost to Timothée Chalamet, and he attended the ceremony without girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
