Overview
- The off‑air clip, posted by the Golden Globes’ official TikTok, showed Leonardo DiCaprio animatedly chatting during a commercial break and quickly went viral.
- Teyana Taylor initially told Access Hollywood that DiCaprio was speaking to her and that the exchange likely referenced KPop Demon Hunters, noting she had been “jamming” to its song and that her children are fans.
- Lip‑reading accounts, including deaf creator Jackie G, interpreted DiCaprio’s words as referring to “the K‑pop thing,” bolstering the read that the chat concerned KPop Demon Hunters.
- In a later appearance on The Tonight Show, Taylor said she may not have been the person in that specific viral moment and recounted that DiCaprio had multiple KPop Demon Hunters conversations that night, adding he did not recall exactly who he addressed in the clip.
- KPop Demon Hunters won Best Motion Picture — Animated and Best Original Song at the Globes, and Taylor won Best Supporting Actress for One Battle After Another, as host Nikki Glaser’s jokes helped set a playful tone for the night.
