When Nikki Glaser caught Leonardo DiCaprio off guard

At the 2026 Golden Globes, Nikki Glaser unleashed a relentless roast aimed squarely at Leonardo DiCaprio, blending admiration and mischief in equal measure. The comedian, back for a second consecutive year as host, targeted the actor’s famously selective dating history while celebrating his towering career.

She highlighted his countless iconic roles, collaborations with legendary directors, and multiple major awards, marveling that he achieved all of it before his girlfriend turned thirty.

“The most impressive thing is that you've been able to accomplish all of this [in your career] before your girlfriend turned 30,” she said. Even the usually composed DiCaprio could only smile and look down under her playful assault.

Glaser quickly softened the jab, admitting the roast was a cheap shot, confessing that she tried to hold back but there was little else to reveal about the famously private star. To drive her point home, she teased that his most in-depth interview dated back decades, playfully questioning whether his love for pasta remained as strong as ever.

DiCaprio could not help but laugh, returning the humor with a pointed gesture and a playful thumbs up, joining in on the fun. The laughter at the Globes was just one side of the actor’s public life, which includes recent rumors connecting him to a model.
