A recent video of Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez proves how even a simple act of courtesy can quickly turn into an awkward situation.
What's the "Thirst Clip" Leonardo DiCaprio and Lauren Sanchez Had?
The Academy winner once had an iconic moment at the 2021 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art+Film Gala that may appear like a simple meet and greet, but actually showed something more that fans couldn't ignore.
As DiCaprio chatted up with the Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, the camera caught Lauren seemingly making "googly eyes" for "thirsting" over the Titanic star up close.
Check out screenshots of the viral clip below and see for yourself:
The viral video led Bezos to make a joke of his own in response to the monumental encounter with a threat.
In a Twitter post with the caption, "Leo, come over here, I want to show you something...", he was seen posing above a red sign that said "Danger! Steep cliff fatal drop" as a joking warning to DiCaprio to stay away from his wife.
Though it might have looked like the Catch Me If You Can star ended on his bad side, their latest reunion doesn't suggest so.
How Did a Casual Meet and Greet Turn Into an Awkward Kiss Cam?
Who could've thought that DiCaprio would get to relive nearly the same experience on Thursday night at the amfAR Gala?
The 50-year-old Wolf on Wall Street star attended the gala in Cap d'Antibes, France, ahead of the closing awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Lo and behold, Bezos and his fiancée happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Leo's night took a strange turn when he visited the dinner table to greet seated guests, which included Jeff and Lauren together.
Though he hasn't responded whether or not he's seen the viral video and memes behind their 2021 moment, the Gala proved it could be just as bad the second time around!
Just as Leo said hello appreciatively to the multi-billionaire and the soon-to-be missus, he leaned his head down, appearing to be getting close for a hug with his arms stretched out to mingle with the couple.
However, Lauren may have misinterpreted the lean down as a gesture to kiss him, which she did. Although Leo didn't take a step back from it, the video also showed Bezos hesitantly leaning in, probably about to do the same thing. But nothing happened.
Instead of the throuple hug, DiCaprio walked away with an awkward caught-on-camera kiss, and a fiddling Jeff Bezos on what he wanted to happen at the table.
As if the night couldn't get any more fumbly, the actor was seen avoiding having a conversation with his current girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, despite having made his Met Gala debut with her.
Meanwhile, the amfAR gala they attended raises money to support AIDS research and HIV education, and prevention efforts.
