Leonardo DiCaprio Defends His Reaction To Lady Gaga's Win

This episode is brought to you by new Snickers Crisper.

Leonardo Dicaprio’s facial expression-gone-viral was a big hit during last night’s Golden Globes, and now we’re bringing you the story behind the meme right here on Clevver’s Trophy Life.
Last year was Chrissy Teigen’s cry face, and this year Leo’s unmistakable side-eye just proves that it wouldn’t be a successful award show without a viral Internet meme.

Leonardo Dicaprio was definitely the hot commodity last night at the 2016 Golden Globes, but not just for his big win for his role in The Revenant. As it turns out, he also won the Internet over by unwillingly becoming the victim of the next viral social media meme, and we’ve got Lady Gaga to thank for this one.

Just as Lady Gaga accepted her Globe for her role in American Horror Story: Hotel, she glided past the tables without looking back, in true Countess fashion, but Leo, who was caught completely off guard, was also caught by the cameras making this epic facial expression:
Let’s take a look one more time at that in slo-mo just for an extra laugh to get you through this Monday morning, shall we?

That side-eye sure don’t lie! But Leo caught up with Entertainment Tonight backstage after the Globes where he was shown the video of the meme, and his response was, well, pretty straightforward. Take a look: I don’t know about you guys, but that sounds pretty legit to me… And contrary to some opinion, Leo was not throwing any sort of shade at Gaga for winning, so we can all put that rumor to rest and keep replaying this meme until the rebirthing of the next Golden Globes meme come next year. But now I want to know all your thoughts on Leo’s facial expression and his reaction to the meme, so get that conversation going right down here in the comments section, and after that, click right over here if you missed out last night to relive all the best moments from the Golden Globes. Thanks so much for checking in with me here on Clevver’s Trophy Life, I’m your girl Joslyn Davis and I’ll see ya later!

this video takes too long to get to the point, so here it is: leo didn't know that gaga was coming his way. there's no shade here. next.

[trishspage]

She did kinda push his arm out the way.

[lexieavalos]

i think he just made that face cause she just passed like that without saying excuse me

[dominicjenkins]

How did THAT go viral? He was just caught off guard when she bumped into him....get a life people hahaha

[bianca]

doesn't everyone make that face to your friend when your having a laugh and someone walks past hahah?

[rosevu]

When someone you don't like bumps into you

[Runelle]

I really don't think either meant anything by it. He was laughing at something and she had to pass through a tiny space.

[slyny]

By the time this video gets to the point, i had already taken a shower and come back to watch.

[xredb]

Gaga the Lady pushed Leo's arm out of the way without saying excuse me and she didn't even look back say sorry or any form of acknowledgement for Leo

[pipertye]

I think he was just startled. Nothing more, nothing less.

[daniiel]

I WOULDVE HAD A FREAK OUT IF SHE TOUCHED MY ARM LOL 😂

[ButterFinger]

so where's the news about David Bowie's death?

[jerilowery]

It's a natural reaction to laugh at yourself when you get startled over nothing. He was just laughing at himself.

[gravity]

Leo was just literally shocked. Anyone who'd bump with someone with a surprise would have that reaction. It's really hilarious.

[estherwillertdarochavitori]

It actually seems like she was very rude to bump into him and not say a thing... Think he's reaction was harmless.

[LadyLovegood]

It took leo 14 years to win a golden globe and it took gaga 3 months. No wonder he's scared.

[rigohernandez]

Leo ain't got to apologize. .he's a fukin Grammy and now a oscar winner..

[elizabethcimino]

Leonardo DiCaprio will be followed long after we are all gone. Titanic is a classic movie, and people were fascinated by the true story long before 'Jack and Rose." They are BOTH amazing talents, and the "look" was candid.

[xNOOORx]

To wrap it up people here it's
Gaga : Wanna make it happen.
Leo :

[LawryMathias]

She just rudely past threw them without saying excuse me or sorry...
