“Something has triggered Leonardo DiCaprio,” the New York Times’ Kyle Buchanan captioned the X footage, which has since gone viral.
In the clip, the Oscar winner can be seen waving his finger and making some pretty dramatic facial expressions.
It’s unclear what DiCaprio was talking about in the footage. Some in X have speculated that I was talking about K-pop. with his “One Battle After Another” co-star Chase Infiniti.
Despite what the “Titanic” star was shouting, social media users were quite stunned to see DiCaprio, who is normally very composed, completely released.
“Sometimes I forget that he has personality.” one user said.
“Oh, this diva…she has so much personality off-screen.” said another user.
“There is [a] A whole side of Leo that is unexplored and that is very sad hahaha.” Another user echoed.
“Maybe ‘Leonardo DiCaprio’ has been the real performance all along,” another joked.
“We have to stop making fun of him for dating 25-year-old girls and let him go out like a queen.” said another user.

After making a rather dated joke about how the “Wolf of Wall Street” alum has a tendency to date women much younger than him, Glaser immediately apologized for making the joke understated.
“I’m sorry I made that joke, it’s cheap,” the comedian admitted. “I tried not to, but we don’t know anything else about you, man. Like there’s nothing else. Open up! I’m serious! I looked!”
Glaser went on to say that the “most in-depth” interview he could find about DiCaprio was in “Teen Beat magazine in 1991.”
“Is your favorite food still pasta, pasta and more pasta?” Glaser asked DiCaprio as he nodded enthusiastically and gave the audience a thumbs up.
