Leonardo DiCaprio's Love Life Continues To Haunt Him In Awkward Moment With Jennifer Lawrence

In a moment of pure gold, Jennifer Lawrence sat down with Leonardo DiCaprio on December 18 for Variety's "Actors On Actors" and made things elegantly awkward. In yet another hilarious interaction with Lawrence and a fellow celebrity, she brought up DiCaprio's role in "One Battle After Another," citing how his character, Bob Ferguson, is a single dad. However, the "Hunger Games" actor potentially poked at DiCaprio's tragic dating record with two simple sentences (and an iconic delivery).

"I'm so sad you don't have a teenage daughter," Lawrence said while DiCaprio chuckled nervously. She then paused before sticking the landing — "You look great with one." While this could come off as casual, it certainly had a bite. Though Lawrence is a dedicated mother who tapped into her own struggles with postpartum depression to portray Grace in "Die My Love," her barb here feels pointed at how DiCaprio doesn't have a family of his own. Not only that, but many online saw this as a not-so-subtle jab at DiCaprio's scandalous age gap relationships, especially with the 51-year-old DiCaprio currently dating the 27-year-old Vittoria Ceretti. While she's technically one of the oldest women he's dated in recent history, it won't help shield him from the buzz online — especially after his sit down with Lawrence.

Jennifer Lawrence's snark was on point with Leonardo DiCaprio

The comment section was quick to fill up in the wake of the resounding blow Jennifer Lawrence delivered to Leonardo DiCaprio. One person pointed out the obvious that having a teenage daughter could get complicated as "it's too close to his dating age..." Another noted how Lawrence's "line had at least 3 meanings and none were accidental." This allowed another user to suggest what the three meanings might be, including "you should already have a family by your age," before bringing up DiCaprio's fondness for age gap relationships.

While one user wrote that Lawrence "cooked him," and another responded by writing, "And he knew," hope might not be lost for DiCaprio. His fellow costar, Chase Infiniti, who played his teenage daughter in "One Battle After Another," has done her part to boost DiCaprio's reputation. In what could be a stroke of significantly good press, Infiniti helped "The Revenant" actor show off his whimsical side, something publicist Amy Prenner told The List "can absolutely shift public perception." As for Lawrence, her reputation remains intact, with many online noting that "JLaw is savage," or reaffirming "I love her" in response to her interaction with DiCaprio.
