For many swooners in the world, Leonardo DiCaprio has been the crush of the decades. Whether it was as Jack, Gatsby, Jim from the Basketball Diaries, if you’ve been loving Leo for years or as Jordan Belfort (depending on your particular type) Leo has a hold on hearts – and recently the internet has torn up over Jeff Bezos’ girlfriend being no exception in the Leo hearts fan club.
Recently, at the LACMA Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles, a video was taken that captures the billionaire Bezos, his girlfriend, American news anchor Lauren Sanchez, and Mr ‘Steal Your Girl’ Leo DiCaprio as the viral video dubs him, all engaging in conversation.
Well, not all.
Mr. Bezos of course, didn’t exactly emulate the same, enthusiasm as his lover in speaking to DiCaprio.

Is Leo having his Titanic moment realised?
The video has been viewed millions of times, and internet users couldn’t help but fictionalise the scenario that could be apt to the thinking of a classic film. After all – a sub-plot in Titanic taught us that ‘true love’ has little to do with love for money, and rather love for love’s sake.
Which is not to say that DiCaprio is in the same financial setting as pauper Jack, but it’s the sentiment that counts.
Twitter users saw the opportunity and flourished.
The jokes practically wrote themselves as people humoured in the video’s essence.
The keyboard warriors of humour quickly jumped on the bandwagon and the tweets are priceless:

However, in a plot twist, an unexpected dose of ‘humour’ in the form of a joking ‘threat’ from Mr Bezos himself joined the conversation. The billionaire took to Twitter to “show Leo something” indicating that he’d drop him from a cliff (jokingly, it is hoped) should Leo actually steal his lady.

Don’t worry Jeff, you’re forgetting one key factor: Leo doesn’t tend to go for women over the age of 25. The coast is clear, the cliffs need not be called upon.
