As a key figure in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio knows talent, which he recognized immediately in actor Jacob Elordi. This proved true during a nightclub encounter where DiCaprio made it his business to praise Elordi in the middle of the packed venue. During a January 18, 2024 episode appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Elordi, who was surprised that DiCaprio was a "Euphoria" viewer, recounted this chance encounter to Fallon, stating "We're in this club and there's really loud music and everything and he's like, 'That shot in the first season, that shot where you came in ... ' And it's him and I in the middle of this club talking about camera angles. It was amazing. He's the GOAT" [via Us Weekly].
It's unknown which scene they were discussing. However, this moment apparently built a mutual respect between the performers. That instance was not the only time DiCaprio directly expressed his love for "Euphoria" to Elordi either.
