Teyana Taylor Clarifies Leonardo DiCaprio Remarks from Globe Clip
Teyana Taylor recently made headlines after addressing a viral clip involving Leonardo DiCaprio from the Golden Globes. Initially, Taylor suggested that DiCaprio was speaking to her about the animated project, KPop Demon Hunters. However, she has since clarified that this was not the case.
Teyana Taylor’s Clarification on DiCaprio Remarks
During her guest appearance on The Tonight Show, Taylor detailed her misunderstanding regarding the clip. She explained that she believed she had cracked a mystery when she told Access Hollywood that DiCaprio was indeed conversing with her while they were at the event.
The clip that sparked the confusion captured DiCaprio laughing and animatedly interacting with someone at his table. Taylor claimed that she and DiCaprio were “just jamming” in that moment, leading her to initially perceive the conversation as about her project.
Understanding the Viral Clip
Reflecting on her thoughts at the time, Taylor said, “When I first seen [the clip], I didn’t watch the whole thing.” She later realized that DiCaprio had engaged in multiple conversations, leading to some friendly jealousy on her part.
- Teyana Taylor won her first Golden Globe for her work on KPop Demon Hunters.
- DiCaprio was nominated for best actor in a musical or comedy but did not win.
- One Battle After Another, featuring Taylor, won best picture in the musical or comedy category.
A Joyful Exchange
Throughout the conversation, Taylor expressed light-hearted jealousy, playfully questioning DiCaprio about who else he was interacting with in such a lively manner. She mentioned that both her daughters, Iman Shumpert and Rue Rose Shumpert, are fans of KPop Demon Hunters. Unbeknownst to her, the moment with DiCaprio was being recorded.
DiCaprio, often recognized for his preference for privacy, apparently could not recall the specifics of the interaction. Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser even humorously noted that fans are mostly unaware of details regarding DiCaprio beyond his romantic relationships with younger women.
