Leonardo DiCaprio went viral at the 2026 Golden Globes on January 11 for sharing a joke from a distance in a viral moment that was widely scrutinized by social media mouth readers. Fans are curious about the identity of the person on the receiving end of Leo’s funny expressions, but the “Titanic” actor is staying mum.
In a Deadline feature published January 22, the outlet says DiCaprio opened up about his feelings on his Oscar nomination for “One Battle After Another,” but chose not to say much about the Golden Globes joke. They say he told them, “It was directed to a friend, but at the end of the day, who knows if this other person that I was talking to wants me to even mention their name? So, as the lead character says in ‘A Bronx Tale, I’m not a rat.”
One fan speculated on X that Leo said, “I was watching you with the K pop thing, you were like, who’s that, is that, Oh, K pop.”

He gushed to the outlet, “To work on this film with Paul and just to collaborate on a film that just feels so topical, man, it’s unbelievable. It has been so cool to be a part of this band, when you go out in the world and are able to talk about a film that you’re truly proud of. With actors that you’re so proud to work with and a story that you feel is important. We’ve been doing it for the past year, and there’s an ease to talking about something that you have such a genuine love and pride for. And that’s how I feel about this movie.”
