A few seconds of footage from the award ceremony Golden Globe it was enough to make Leonardo DiCaprio the main topic on social media again.
His gesticulation from the audience, while Tejana Taylor was announcing the winner in one of the categories, set off a wave of mimes, jokes and viral comments.
During the ceremony, the camera captured DiCaprio pointing, explaining, and speaking from a chair, which netizens immediately began to interpret in a variety of ways: from him trying to help the host, to flirting, to classic jokes about "the man who always has something to explain."
The clip quickly spread across X and Instagram, and every hand gesture or facial expression became material for a new meme.
Additional interest was attracted by a joke by host Nikki Glazer, who mentioned DiCaprio's relationships with younger girls during her monologue.
But this isn't the first time this Hollywood actor has been a mime star.
Unlike many actors who try to avoid going viral, DiCaprio seems to ignore it.
Here's a little guide to all of DiCaprio's 'internet' faces.
The Great Gatsby, Django and Famous Oscar Nominations
The scene in the film where DiCaprio raises a glass of champagne and looks straight at the camera comes from the film adaptation of the novel. Great Gatsby Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
Although DiCaprio plays a tragic hero from the early 20th century who throws lavish and decadent parties just so the woman he's in love can come to them, the internet has given him a completely different meaning.
It is mostly used for ironic congratulations or passive-aggressive compliments.
In addition, a whole series of mimes, laughter, shouting, chest-beating from the film The Wolf of Wall Street which describe overconfidence and a parody of success and power.
In a similar atmosphere, the hero Rick Dalton (played by DiCaprio) from the movie Once upon a time in Hollywood He excitedly points at the TV, watching himself in a new film, while holding a drink and a cigarette, which shows social media users that they found something or were thrilled by it.
We shouldn't forget DiCaprio's masterful role in the modern western. Django Unchained, directed by Quentin Tarantino, where he plays Kelvin Candy, the owner of a huge plantation, a wealthy man and a slave owner from the American South.
At the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, the actor, probably unknowingly, repeated the same facial expression as in the film Django - look here.

But not all internet jokes originated from movies.
There's also the famously disappointed face when, even though he was nominated, he didn't win an Oscar.
But also facial expressions, like squinting and sarcastic smiling or an awkward and shy smile at award ceremonies.
And when he won an Oscar in 2016 for his role in the film Returnee - a new meme was born.
The actor's smile and gaze into the camera quickly went viral, often accompanied by captions like "when you finally get what you deserve."
This collection is joined by the latest meme from the Golden Globe Awards.
While actress Tejana Taylor read the names of the winners in the categories of best original song and best animated film, DiCaprio was shouting something at her from his chair and gesturing.
"Yes, he was talking to me," Taylor said of her "One Battle After Another" co-star's actions.One Battle After Another), a three-time winner at this year's Golden Globes.
K-Pop Demon Hunters (KPop Demon Hunters), won in the categories of Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature, much to the delight of Tejana Taylor.
"I was very happy because my kids love K-Pop, like demons, and then I just talked and talked, and I think he really caught me in it...

For years, he was considered the "perpetually nominated actor" until he won an Oscar in 2016 for his role in the film Returnee, which only further strengthened his mythical position in the public eye.
In addition to film, DiCaprio is also known for his environmental activism, but also for his private life, which constantly attracts media interest, especially due to his relationships with much younger models and actresses.
It was the age of his current girlfriend that was the reason for the joke made by Golden Globes presenter Nikki Glazer.
"Leonardo DiCaprio has an incredible career, countless iconic roles, he's worked with all the great directors, he's won three Golden Globes, an Oscar...
"And the most impressive thing is that he managed to achieve all of this before his girlfriend turned 30," Glazer said.
A few days later apologized, saying the joke was inappropriate.
