Leonardo DiCaprio has officially become the “King of Memes” after a hilarious moment at the Golden Globes went viral, and now we know exactly whom he was talking to.

During the ceremony, cameras caught DiCaprio animatedly chatting with someone generating buzz about whom he was having the hilarious exchange with.

Speaking to Access Hollywood at the New York City premiere of her new film The Rip, Taylor confirmed that DiCaprio was indeed talking to her during the viral moment that lit up social media.

“He was talking to me! Yes!” she told reporter Emily Orozco laughing off the speculation.

Taylor explained that the conversation may have been sparked by her excitement over KPop Demon Hunters winning an award that night.

“The crazy part about it is I am so blacked out from that day, that I want to say we might have been talking about ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ because I was so happy when they won because my kids love ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ so I was over there just jamming and I think he caught me jamming,” she said.

The Golden Globes clip quickly spread online with fans trying to understand what the One Battle After Another star spoke.

A lip reader decoded DiCaprio’s words revealing that he was discussing K‑pop with Taylor.

According to deaf content creator Jackie G, DiCaprio was commenting on Taylor’s reaction during a segment featuring K‑pop.

“I was watching you with the K‑pop thing,” DiCaprio appeared to say.

He then mimicked her expressions adding, “You were like [peers over looking confused] is that? Who is the K‑pop? Are they? Is it? We were laughing — we were like, ‘Is that? Is that K‑pop?’”
