Grok AI Lip-Reads Leonardo DiCaprio at 2026 Golden Globes

Leonardo DiCaprio gained notoriety at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards due to a frank moment rather than an award. A brief, silent video captured him making expressive gestures inside the Beverly Hilton during a commercial break. Fans started speculating about his facial expressions, with many speculating that he was making a K-pop joke.

“I was watching you with the K-pop thing; you were like, ‘Who’s that?'” “Is that… well, K-pop,” Leo responded, according to Grok.

“Go ahead. One person responded to the lipreading by saying, “So exact.”

Fans Applaud the Accuracy

“I watched this like 20 times… sooo wonderful!” someone else said.

“Woooooow lmao she is fantastic!” was another user’s remark. “Nailed it” said another.
