At the 2022 Emmy stage, MC Kenan Thompson teased actress Zendaya by referencing Leonardo DiCaprio's preference for dating women under 25.
During the 74th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on September 12th, 2022, comedian and event host Kenan Thompson drew attention by linking Zendaya and Leonardo DiCaprio.
'Zendaya just turned 26 last week. Happy birthday. 26 is a peculiar age in Hollywood. I mean, you're young enough to play a high school student, but too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio,' Thompson joked.
Thompson's jest elicited laughter throughout the audience, while Spider-Man's girlfriend, Tom Holland, could only blush in embarrassment.
This isn't the first time the Titanic star has been the butt of jokes at major award events.
At the 2022 Oscar Awards in March, MC Amy Schumer humorously referenced Leonardo DiCaprio's environmental activism, jokingly suggesting he's fighting for a better world for his younger girlfriends.
Recently, rumors about Leonardo's preference for younger women intensified after his breakup with 5-year girlfriend Camila Morrone shortly after her 25th birthday.
However, the 47-year-old actor seems to have broken this pattern by dating 27-year-old supermodel Gigi Hadid.
According to sources, Leo and Gigi spent time 'getting to know each other' in New York City, less than a month after Leo's breakup. Despite Leo's interest, Gigi wants to maintain a platonic friendship.
On September 13th, Us Weekly revealed that the Oscar-winning actor and Victoria’s Secret 'angel' engaged in conversation at a party during New York Fashion Week last Saturday (September 10th).
Last week, it was reported that Leo attempted to catch Gigi's attention, but the 1995-born beauty showed no interest. She desires to keep their relationship platonic.
Representatives for Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid have yet to respond to the aforementioned articles.
