Did Leonardo DiCaprio steal the show at the Golden Globes? The actor definitely seemed to be trying to win over the audience – and the internet – with his enthusiastic appearance.
Leonardo DiCaprio became a running joke during the Golden Globes when host Nikki Glaser playfully pointed out his history of dating women under 30. His current girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, is 27, giving him a few years to potentially add another Oscar to his impressive career before she turns 30.

Mary McNamara and Glenn Whipp from the Los Angeles Times break down the highlights of the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, including who won and the most talked-about moments.
He smiled, he pointed, he gave a thumbs up. So good, Glaser said, so vaping good.
Glaser issued an apology, suggesting it was prompted by the public’s focus on the 51-year-old’s dating life – specifically, his tendency to date much younger women. She implied this was the only personal detail most people knew about him, even though he hadn’t tried to conceal his history of smoking and later switching to vaping.
“Leo, I apologize for that silly joke,” she said. “I really tried not to, but honestly, I don’t know much about you at all. There’s just… nothing. Please, tell me something! I’m being serious. I’ve looked everywhere. The most detailed interview I could find was in Teen Beat magazine back in 1991. Do you still love pasta as much as you did then?”
Honestly, we would have liked it better if she’d asked him about his continued interest in oceanography and that solar-powered 1982 Jaguar. We’re pretty sure he still wants the car!
Awards
If Leonardo DiCaprio receives an acting nomination for playing Bob Ferguson in ‘One Battle After Another,’ it would be his seventh nomination overall. The role portrays a revolutionary who later becomes a father.
DiCaprio showed a bit more energy during that particular moment than he did while posing for photos, but it wasn’t until after the break that his reaction really took off online and became a popular meme.
Leonardo DiCaprio was playfully recounting a moment where he noticed someone struggling to identify K-pop music. He mimicked their confused reaction – asking ‘Who’s that?’ and exaggerating his pronunciation – to emphasize how loud the room was. He admitted it wasn’t a particularly funny story, but described how it looked from his perspective.
He had a distinct way of showing his attention – a series of noticeable hand movements, often followed by a quiet golf clap. He’d then finish with a laugh and a smile that brought to mind a youthful Burt Reynolds, with a hint of Jack Nicholson’s mischievousness. It was like a visual way of communicating, even for those who didn’t need sign language.
Okay, so it’s like we’ve traded one slightly awkward Ben Affleck for a… well, a visibly uncomfortable Leonardo DiCaprio? That’s what it felt like watching the awards show. He seemed to be doing everything to subtly manage something in his mouth – those nicotine pouches, I’m guessing – when he accepted the Best Picture award for “One Battle After Another.” It was a complete shift from his usual public image, and honestly, a little distracting.

Highlights from the 2026 Golden Globes red carpet included stunning looks from Selena Gomez, Blackpink’s Lisa, and the stars of both ‘Heated Rivalry’ and ‘KPop Demon Hunters’.
DiCaprio’s philosophy on fame, by the way, is in line with that: Keep your mouth shut.
He recently told Time magazine, after being named Entertainer of the Year for 2025, that finding the right balance between public life and privacy has been a lifelong challenge. He doesn’t claim to have mastered it, but his approach is simple: only pursue projects when you have a meaningful message or something worthwhile to offer. Otherwise, he prefers to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible.
Nearly 30 years after the success of “Titanic,” he realized he needed to establish a lasting career in Hollywood.
He shared with Time that he’s passionate about his work and believes the key to a lasting career is to avoid being intrusive or overbearing.
From your lips to God’s ears, Leo. We’ve got our eyes on you.
