'Leonardo DiCaprio's 1991 'Teen Beat' Interview Is Going Viral After Nikki Glaser Mocked It At The Golden Globes

During her monologue at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, host Nikki Glaser wasted no time roasting the room, and no target loomed larger than Hollywood’s most enduring bachelor mystery, Leonardo DiCaprio.

The 41-year-old comedian, returning to host for a second consecutive year on Sunday, Jan. 11, took aim at nominees including Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Kevin Hart, and DiCaprio during her opening remarks at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. But it was DiCaprio’s dating history—a subject that appears to age in reverse, much like his girlfriends—that landed the hardest.

Glaser teased the 51-year-old nominee from the stage:

“Leonardo DiCaprio is here for ‘one man bun after another’ … what a career you’ve had, countless iconic performances, you’ve worked with every great director, you’ve won three Golden Globes, an Oscar, and the most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30.”

DiCaprio appeared to take the first jab in stride, laughing, looking down, and playing along as the room reacted. The actor has most recently been linked to model Vittoria Ceretti, who is 27—a detail Glaser clearly didn’t need to remind the audience.

She doubled back moments later:

“Leo, I’m sorry I made that joke; it’s cheap. I tried not to, but you know, we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else, open up.”

And she’s not wrong. For decades, punchlines about DiCaprio have oscillated between his long road to Oscar gold and the conspicuously consistent age gaps in his dating choices. As DiCaprio has moved through his forties and into his fifties, the women linked to him have reliably remained in their twenties, creating a pattern so predictable it’s practically a pop-culture spreadsheet.

The internet, naturally, has never stopped keeping receipt—and apparently, neither has Glaser.

She called him out from the podium:

“The most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was in 'Teen Beat Magazine' in 1991. Is your favorite food still ‘pasta, pasta, and more pasta?’”

Cameras caught DiCaprio mouthing “Yes!” while flashing a thumbs-up, smiling and laughing as the audience lost it.

She dared viewers to fact-check her:

“Look it up, that’s real!”

And just like that, Glaser issued the internet a challenge it was born to accept: unearth Baby DiCaprio’s ’90s teen magazine interviews. It delivered immediately.

Screenshots of DiCaprio’s handwritten Teen Beat questionnaire resurfaced within minutes and spread across social media. The answers, unfortunately for him, checked out: “pasta, pasta, and more pasta” really was his favorite food, and yes, a teenage DiCaprio misspelled “reggae” while listing his favorite music genres.

Check out the adorably handwritten questionnaire below:

While DiCaprio remained a good sport throughout the night, he didn’t leave with a trophy in hand. He lost Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy to Timothée Chalamet for his role in Marty Supreme. The category also included George Clooney (Jay Kelly), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Lee Byung-Hun (No Other Choice), and Jesse Plemons (Bugonia).

At 30, Chalamet’s win continued his steady march toward Oscar inevitability, beating out both DiCaprio and Clooney for the table-tennis caper Marty Supreme. Still, DiCaprio’s night wasn’t a loss overall. His film One Battle After Another emerged as the evening’s biggest winner, taking home four awards, including Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy and Best Director.

His film also delivered a standout awards moment when Teyana Taylor won Best Supporting Actress.

Taylor told the audience through tears:

“Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter, and our dreams deserve space.”

Wearing a Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown, here she is giving her acceptance speech:

Singer and actress Taylor, whose career began when she choreographed a Beyoncé music video at age 15, cemented her Hollywood takeover with the win. After thanking collaborators and loved ones, she used her speech to emotionally address “my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight.”

And social media wasted no time turning the unearthed interview of Taylor’s co-star, DiCaprio, into a well-earned collective victory lap:

Bravo, internet!

Glaser is no stranger to the Globes spotlight. After making her hosting debut in 2025, she called the experience “without a doubt the most fun I have ever had in my career.”

She told People earlier this month:

“There’s lots to joke about this year—and the star power in the room is going to be bigger than ever. I mean, it’s bigger than last year. I kind of have to keep wrapping my head around the kind of people that are going to be present in this room.”

So yes, Glaser was more than ready to come for DiCaprio and the man bun. And while the actor was recently vacationing with Ceretti in St. Barts, she did not attend the ceremony.

She joked during the interview:

“I mean, Leo’s vape pen is going to be there. So excited to see that.”

While Glaser admitted she wanted to avoid “the Leo jokes we’ve heard 25 times,” that didn’t mean he’d escape entirely. As of January 2026, it has not been confirmed whether she’ll return to host in 2027. But after two sharp, fearless turns at the podium, and a monologue that sent the internet digging through Teen Beat archives, the odds feel very much in her favor.
