Leonardo DiCaprio clarified his startled reaction at Lady Gaga winning Best Actress for a miniseries at 2016’s Golden Globe Awards.
Leonardo DiCaprio is currently under fire for his alleged association with the recently arrested Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (via Daily Mail). The Titanic star has remained silent about allegedly attending parties with Diddy, who was charged with s*x trafficking and racketeering and reportedly faces more than a hundred new lawsuits on allegations of r*pe and s*xual assault (via People).
DiCaprio has trended multiple times on the Internet. When he is not trending for his performances, his recent romantic partners (and their age) provide fodder for tabloid journalism. However, he once had to explain why he was startled at the Golden Globes when Lady Gaga brushed past him in a moment that went viral.

Leonardo DiCaprio had a momentous 2016. The actor won his first Oscar for Best Actor for The Revenant after being snubbed multiple times, which itself had become a meme for the past few years. His climate change documentary Before the Flood was also released and he became an active voice for taking action against climate change.
However, right before his Oscar win, the actor went viral for his reaction to actress and singer Lady Gaga passing him by to collect her own Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Miniseries for American Horror Story. His laugh before she brushed past him and his startled look after became the subject of various memes.
DiCaprio himself won the Globe for The Revenant as a precursor to his Oscar win. After the ceremony, he reportedly told Entertainment Tonight what exactly happened.
Oh lord — that’s trending, huh? I just didn’t know what was passing me, that’s all!
He reportedly later told Vanity Fair that he and Gaga were having a laugh about it going viral after the ceremony.
Fans Brought Back The ‘Leonardo DiCaprio 25’ Meme For Lady Gaga

Apart from his charming looks and his dedicated performances, Leonardo DiCaprio is also known for his personal life and relationships. His dating life, which is reportedly filled with supermodels, has often made news and after a while, the Internet noticed a pattern. A Reddit post pointed out that DiCaprio’s partners were mostly under 25.
Since then, many memes about the Inception star and his obsession with not going for women over 25 have made the rounds. From Star Wars memes to the invention of the term ‘Leopause’, the meme has become a running gag that the actor seemingly keeps providing fodder for. The meme even reached his awkward moment with Lady Gaga at the Golden Globes.

A woman over 25 touched him & he couldn’t hide his discomfort lmao

While that was obviously not the reason for his startled reaction, as he clarified before, the meme has become such a huge deal that singer Sabrina Carpenter recently celebrated her 25th birthday with a DiCaprio 25 meme-themed cake (via Buzzfeed).
