Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio is known for his privacy, but a recent revelation from comedian Nikki Glaser has offered a glimpse into his gracious side. Glaser, who hosted the 2026 Golden Globes, disclosed that DiCaprio sent her baskets of pasta after the ceremony. The actor was nominated for his film 'One Battle After Another' at the event, which marked Glaser's second time as host. She is already set to return for a third stint in 2027, as reported by 'Variety'.
The Roast That Went Viral
Glaser's opening monologue became an internet sensation for its sharp humor, particularly a joke targeting DiCaprio's well-known history of dating women under 30. She quipped, 'What a career Leonardo DiCaprio has had. Countless iconic performances, you've worked with every great director, you've won three Golden Globes and an Oscar, and the most impressive thing is you were able to accomplish all that before your girlfriend turned 30.'
Acknowledging the lack of originality, Glaser added, 'Leo, I'm sorry I made that joke. It is cheap. I tried not to, but, like, we don't know anything else about you, man. There's nothing else. Open up! I'm serious! I looked! I searched! The most in-depth interview you've ever given was for Teen Beat magazine in 1991. Is your favorite food still 'Pasta, pasta and more pasta?''
Internet Sleuths Uncover the Past
According to 'Variety', online detectives quickly located the actual Teen Beat article, which featured a young DiCaprio filling out a survey and enthusiastically listing pasta as his favorite food. Glaser later appeared on 'The Tonight Show' and admitted she struggled to craft a fresh Leo joke because the dating history punchline has been used extensively. 'That joke's been going on longer than his current girlfriend has been alive. It's been around forever,' she remarked.
Glaser's candidness and DiCaprio's unexpected gesture have added a lighthearted chapter to the actor's public persona, proving that even a cheap joke can lead to a pasta-filled peace offering.
