Mario Lopez Is All Of Us Fanboying Over Leonardo DiCaprio at the Golden Globes
Leonardo DiCaprio, Mario Lopez
One would like to think you'd keep it calm, cool, and collected, and maybe wave from afar when meeting Leonardo DiCaprio—but then again, who are we kidding?
Mario Lopez ran into The Wolf of Wall Street actor at the 81st Golden Globes held at the famed Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, Jan. 7, and although he didn't totally flip out, he absolutely did not waste the chance to grab a selfie with the longtime movie star.
Parade caught video footage of the encounter—and the wholesome moment has us saying, "Same, Mario, same."
In the clip, the Saved by the Bell alum can be seen holding his phone out as he records himself with the Don't Look Up star swiftly walking through the crowded event. Lopez shot a thumbs up to the camera, although it's not clear if he was recording a video or snapping photos, while DiCaprio simply smiled.
As they parted ways, the Django actor patted the TV personality's chest as they shook hands and went on about their eventful evenings.
DiCaprio's October 2023-released movie, Killers of the Flower Moon, was nominated at the awards show this year, raking in seven nods, including Best Motion Picture, Best Director (Martin Scorsese), Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score. These nominations came alongside additional nods for outstanding performances for The Great Gatsby actor, as well as for Lily Gladstone, whom he walked the red carpet with, and Robert De Niro.
Aside from the DiCaprio-Lopez linkup, there were a host of other notable attendees at the big Hollywood night out. Among other celebs spotted were Margot Robbie, Angela Bassett, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum, Riley Keough, and several more.
