Leonardo DiCaprio Delights Nikki Glaser With a Funny Gift After Golden Globes Joke [WATCH]

Leonardo DiCaprio and Nikki Glaser shared a surprising and humorous exchange following Glaser’s jokes about the actor at the Golden Globes. The comedian revealed that DiCaprio had sent her an unexpected but thoughtful gift after the show, proving there were no hard feelings between them, as reported by Page Six.

During her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Glaser explained that she makes it a point to reach out to celebrities she jokes about. “I always send flowers to the celebrities I made fun of,” she said. She then revealed that, this time, one of those stars had responded in a particularly memorable way.

“He sent me three baskets of pasta as a thank you,” Glaser told Fallon, laughing at the gesture. She described the moment as “so funny” and said, “Part of me was like, ‘Does Leo want to smash?’ I was like, ‘All right.’”

Glaser kept the laughter going by joking about DiCaprio’s well-known dating history.

“The type of girl he goes for, he wouldn’t send pasta to,” she mused. Continuing the bit, she quipped, “Spaghetti O’s — maybe I would have been more his type. A crib full of Dunkaroos and Go-Gurt, I would have been like, ‘Oh, he’s into me.’ He dates young girls. I can’t stop!”

DiCaprio’s humorous choice of gift appeared to reference Glaser’s Golden Globes monologue. During the broadcast, she had joked that the only information available about DiCaprio’s personal life came from a 1991 Teen Beat magazine profile. In that decades-old interview, a teenage DiCaprio said his favorite food was pasta.

When Glaser mentioned the pasta anecdote during the live show, DiCaprio responded warmly from his seat, laughing, mouthing “Yes!” and giving her a thumbs up. The interaction quickly became one of the night’s viral moments.

On Fallon’s show, Glaser revealed that writing a good joke about DiCaprio had been more challenging than she expected.

“I was like, ‘I don’t want to make a joke about how he has young girlfriends. It’s been done so many times,’” Glaser said.

“That joke’s been going on longer than his current girlfriend’s been alive. It’s truly been around forever. I was like, I don’t want to do it.”

But brainstorming for new material hit a wall. “Then there was nothing else to say about him,” she admitted on the talk show. That changed when she and her team discovered the old Teen Beat interview, which offered the perfect comedic spark.

“I was like, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny!’” Glaser recalled about finding the magazine tidbit. The pasta joke became one of the most talked-about lines of her Golden Globes monologue and showcased her ability to mix humor with lighthearted charm.

The exchange also demonstrated DiCaprio’s sense of humor and graciousness in responding to jokes about him. By sending pasta, he acknowledged the gag while keeping things friendly and entertaining.

Outside of the playful moment, DiCaprio’s personal life continues to draw public attention. The actor previously dated Camila Morrone for four years before their split in August 2022. He later dated Gigi Hadid, who was 27 at the time, before beginning a new relationship with model Vittoria Ceretti.

Ceretti, who is 23 years DiCaprio’s junior, has reportedly been dating the actor since August 2023. The couple appeared together at the 2026 Oscars, where an insider told People that “this relationship with Vittoria does feel different and more serious.”

The same source added, “He genuinely cares for her. They may not be ready to get married, but for the first time, Leo is open to a serious future.” DiCaprio’s pasta gesture toward Glaser, though playful, reflected his good-natured approach to humor surrounding his public image.

Between a friendly sense of self-awareness and Glaser’s sharp wit, their exchange turned one Golden Globes joke into a feel-good pop culture story that audiences were quick to celebrate.
