Leonardo DiCaprio’s Co-Star Reveals Whom He Was Talking To

However, DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another co-star, Teyana Taylor, who won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture this year, later appeared on Access Hollywood and said he was speaking to her in the clip. The singer and actor would later walk her comments back on an episode of The Tonight Show.

“So when I first seen [the video], I didn’t watch the whole thing,” Taylor explained to host Jimmy Fallon. “So I was like, ‘Oh you’re talking about KPop Demon Hunters, he’s talking about me.’ But then I watched it and they was doing the lip-read thing, and I had to call Leo,” she said.

She added, I was like, ‘You can’t be talking to me, were you talking to me? Because I already told people you was talking to me.’ So apparently he had two KPop Demon Hunter conversations that night, so KPop Demon Hunters was just in his mouth all night.”

According to various lip readers online, the Titanic star said, “I was watching you with the K-pop thing.” He made some gestures and faces and continued, “You were like, ‘Is that? K-pop?'”
