Famously serious Oscar-winner gave rare insight into what might be the real Leo with his commercial break antics
T
he fact that nobody really knows anything about Leonardo DiCaprio is well-established at this point. Indeed, the best joke of Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes monologue last night revolved around that fact that DiCaprio gives so little of himself away that the only things she could find to joke about him were his notoriously younger girlfriends and an obscure magazine interview he gave when he was 17, where he announced that his favourite food was “pasta, pasta and more pasta”.
However, DiCaprio then went and instantly gave some of himself away. A camera remained on him during a commercial break, and it caught him giving one of the most flamboyant demonstrations of his personality ever seen.
If you missed it, it’s a doozy. The clip seems to show DiCaprio spotting someone from across the auditorium, and giving them a kind of Dramatic Chipmunk look. Putting his fingers to his eyes, he mouths something along the lines of: “I saw you with the K-pop thing.” He then appears to reenact what this person was like with the K-pop thing, pointing around him with a flourish. He touches his lips. He mimes a moment of realisation. He cracks himself up again so much that he then reenacts his own reenactment, with more points and a stage-whispered “K-pop”.
