Leonardo DiCaprio’s Cringy 1991 ‘Teen Beat’ Interview Goes Viral After Golden Globes Roast

Leonardo DiCaprio’s 1991 interview with Teen Beat took center stage during the 2026 Golden Globes, thanks to host Nikki Glaser’s playful jab at the acclaimed actor. While delivering her monologue at the Beverly Hilton, Glaser decided to poke fun at the industry’s most notorious bachelor.

Glaser teased DiCaprio, 51, about his illustrious career accomplishments, jokingly noting he achieved them all before his current girlfriend, 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, turned 30. The room erupted in laughter, acknowledging the elephant in the room regarding the actor’s dating history. After the laugh landed, Glaser quickly apologized for the “cheap” comment.

However, she didn’t let him off the hook entirely, pivoting to how private the actor remains despite his massive fame. “We don’t know anything else about you, man. I’m serious. I looked!” Glaser told the audience. In a moment that had the attendees chuckling, she pointed out, “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?'”

DiCaprio responded with a thumbs up and a big smile, silently confirming the claim as he mouthed, “Yes!” The interaction proved that even serious method actors can laugh at their younger selves. “Look it up, that’s real!” Glaser challenged viewers, prompting an immediate online treasure hunt for the vintage interview.

Fans eagerly dug up the Teen Beat questionnaire, and the results were just as charming as promised. The document revealed that a teenage DiCaprio indeed listed “pasta, pasta, and more pasta” as his favorite food. Internet sleuths also noted that he humorously misspelled “reggae” under his preferred music genre, adding a layer of innocent nostalgia to the superstar’s image.

DiCaprio’s dating life has long been a source of fascination and satire within pop culture. For over two decades, the actor has famously dated a string of high-profile models and actresses who are significantly younger than him. A viral chart that circulated on social media years ago pointed out that he rarely dated anyone over the age of 25.

His past relationships read like a who’s who of the modeling world, including Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, and Camila Morrone. This pattern has become such a well-known fact that it is often the first joke comedians reach for at award shows. His current relationship with Vittoria Ceretti, who is 27, has technically broken his “under 25” streak, though the age gap remains significant.

Leonardo DiCaprio has spent the last thirty years establishing himself as arguably the biggest movie star in the world. He successfully transitioned from a teen heartthrob in Titanic and Romeo + Juliet to a serious character actor working with directors like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino. He finally won his long-awaited Academy Award for Best Actor for his grueling performance in The Revenant in 2016.

Recently, the actor has been incredibly selective with his projects, often taking years between roles to ensure he works with the best filmmakers. He garnered massive acclaim for his role in Killers of the Flower Moon, where he played the morally complex Ernest Burkhart. Outside of acting, he dedicates the majority of his time to environmental activism.

Through the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, he has raised over $100 million for projects that protect wildlife and combat climate change. He serves on the board of several environmental organizations and has produced documentaries on the subject, such as Before the Flood. His production company, Appian Way, is also responsible for producing hits like The Wolf of Wall Street and The Aviator.

Looking ahead, rumors continue to swirl about his next collaboration with Martin Scorsese. There are reports that he is attached to star in a biopic about Frank Sinatra, though the project has faced hurdles regarding the rights to the singer’s music. Regardless of what he chooses next, his ability to balance blockbuster success with artistic integrity keeps him at the top of the Hollywood food chain.

Tell us in the comments if you think pasta is still the ultimate comfort food or if Leo needs to update his palate after thirty years.
