It turns out Leonardo DiCaprio was a big fan of pasta as a teen!
Nikki Glaser roasted Leo about dating younger women during her 2026 Golden Globes monologue, before teasing him about a 1991 Teen Beat interview.
Glaser apologized to DiCaprio for the joke about his girlfriend, saying, “Leo, I’m sorry I made that joke, it’s cheap. I tried not to, but like we don’t know anything else about you. There’s nothing else, like, open up. I searched [and] the most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was in Teen Beat magazine in 1991. Is your favorite food still ‘pasta and more pasta?’ Look it up, that’s real.”
Leonardo nodded and responded, “Yes.”
