Leonardo DiCaprio went viral recently thanks to a meme-worthy moment that happened at the 2025 Golden Globes. Fans have been wondering who he was talking to at that time.
During the ceremony's commercial break, the Hollywood A-lister was spotted enthusiastically talking to someone off-screen. Lip readers have suggested that he was talking about a K-pop song, prompting speculations that the conversation might be related to KPop Demon Hunters. However, the identity of the celebrity that he talked to was still a mystery. Until now...
Who Did Leonardo DiCaprio Talk to in Viral Golden Globes Moment?
Speaking recently with Access Hollywood, DiCaprio's One Battle After Another co-star Teyana Taylor revealed that she was the celebrity that the A-list star was talking to in the viral moment.
"He was talking to me, yes," she confirmed, adding that she was "so blacked out from that day."
The newly minted Golden Globe winner explained that they were likely talking about KPop Demon Hunters during that time, and the A-list star caught her "jamming" to a song from the movie.
"[I] was so happy when they won because my kids love KPop Demon Hunters, so I was over there just jamming," Taylor said.
"I just don't remember what he was saying, I don't even think I really even heard what he was saying, I probably was just laughing and kiki'ing back and had no clue what he was saying."
Taylor added that she also noticed the moment had become viral online and was being analyzed by many lip readers. "I didn't know that that moment was being captured," she said.
