Leonardo DiCaprio sparked a wave of excitement among fans following his appearance at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.

The 51-year-old Titanic actor was spotted engaging in an unusually lively conversation with a then-unidentified attendee, much to the audience’s intrigue.

Social media buzzed with guesses about the mystery person’s identity and the topic of their chat—answers that an X user has now revealed.

Apparently, Leonardo was conversing with his co-star from the film “One Battle After Another,” Teyana Taylor. A lip reader identified their discussion as focusing on her reactions to a K-pop segment during the event.

Jackie G, a content creator proficient in lip reading, interpreted their exchange as: “I was watching you during the K-pop segment. You seemed confused, like, ‘Is that K-pop? Who are they?’ We were laughing, wondering if that was indeed K-pop.”

It has been claimed that he was talking to his One Battle After Another co-star Teyana Taylor (pictured at the event) 

As well as what the was saying, the star pointed at his own eyes before playfully pointing at the offscreen person, letting them know he was ‘watching’ them before excitedly waving his fingers around and clapping. 

X users swiftly asked who he was talking to and what he was saying, to which AI took Grok replied: ‘It’s a viral lip-reading video from the 2026 Golden Globes showing Leonardo DiCaprio chatting with Teyana Taylor during a break…

‘The deaf lip reader’s take: He’s saying he watched her with “the K-pop thing,” asks “who is the K-pop?” and they laugh about it, ending with “sure, I’ll sign.” Likely lighthearted gossip… leonardo dicaprio talking to teyana taylor’. 

Aside from his K-pop chat, Leonardo set tongues wagging further with an interaction with Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts, where he was seen covering his mouth and repeatedly saying ‘that’s star power!’ after they were photographed.

And in another now-viral clip, DiCaprio was seen putting on an extremely animated display while interacting with someone at another table during a commercial break.

He was seated next to his mother Irmelin Indenbirken, 82, and co-star Sean Penn during the three-hour ceremony held in Beverly Hills and broadcasted live on CBS.

Leonardo was the unexpected life of the party as the notoriously private star was frequently caught making funny expressions.

Fans admitted that they ‘loved’ seeing this rare side of DiCaprio, who often hides himself behind N95 masks when in public.

‘I am literally howling… this is the most animated i’ve ever seen him in my entire life,’ penned one X user.

The fun faces didn’t just occur during commercial breaks as he also had plenty of reactions to Nikki Glaser’s jokes about him in her explosive opening monologue, where she made reference to the Epstein files, CBS News’ recent ‘anti-work’ overhaul and his infamous dating life.

She took a major dig at Leonardo’s reputation for dating women under the age of 25 as she applauded his performance in the nominated film One Battle After Another, which she jokingly referred to as ‘One Man-Bun After Another.’

‘What a career you have had,’ she said to DiCaprio. ‘Countless iconic performances. You’ve worked with every great director, you’ve won three Golden Globes, and an Oscar.

‘The most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish that all before your girlfriend turned 30. It is just insane.’
