The Star Talking to Leonardo DiCaprio in the Viral K-Pop Golden Globes Video Is Identified

Leonardo DiCaprio’s animated moment at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards had fans talking, and now we finally know who he was speaking to in that viral clip. The actor’s co-star from One Battle After Another, Teyana Taylor, revealed that she was the person on the receiving end of Leo’s conversation.

Taylor told Access Hollywood that the two were talking about KPop Demon Hunters, the hit animated Netflix film, while celebrating their movie’s wins for Best Original Song – Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture – Animated. “And the crazy part about it is, I’m so blacked out from that day, that I want to say we may have been talking about KPop Demon Hunters,” she said. “Because I was so happy when they won, because my kids love KPop Demon Hunters. So, I was over there just jamming, and I think he just caught me jamming and we started talking about it.”

The actress admitted that she didn’t fully catch what DiCaprio was saying at the time. “But I just don’t remember what he was saying, I don’t even think I really heard what he was saying. I was probably just laughing and kiki-ing back and had no clue back and had no clue what he’s saying,” she added. Taylor also joked that she went along with the lip-reading experts who suggested they were discussing the animated film.

The clip went viral because DiCaprio clearly appeared to be mouthing the word “KPop” while interacting with someone at the event. Fans speculated for weeks about who he was speaking to before Taylor confirmed her identity.

Speaking to Us Weekly this week about the viral moment, Taylor said, “Oh, my God. He was talking to me. That’s what makes it even funnier.”

This revelation finally clears up the mystery behind the much-discussed Golden Globes video and shows the fun and playful side of DiCaprio behind the scenes.

It’s hilarious to see how a small, candid moment like this can capture the internet’s attention. Leonardo’s energy combined with Taylor’s reaction made for a perfect viral clip. What do you think about the moment? Share your thoughts in the comments.
