Sure he’s worth billions, but please spare a thought for Jeff Bezos who was forced to essentially third-wheel his girlfriend and Leonardo DiCaprio at a swanky event over the weekend.
Punters were collectively losing their proverbial over footage of Lauren Sánchez’s fangirl reaction to being in the breathing space of Leo as they hung out at the LACMA Art+Film Gala on Sunday.
She’s only human.
Sadly, though, it seems not even the second richest man in the world, with a net worth $203billion (£149bn), is still immune to having your leading woman drawn in by the charming charms of a Hollywood star. Kind of makes going into overdraft every month a little easier to swallow, non?
In the hilarious clip that’s doing the rounds on Twitter, and spawning all sorts of memes, Lauren, 51, is seen adoringly gazing up at Leo, who, frankly, appears to want to GTFO judging by the slightly panicked and awkward demeanour.
As the three talk, 47-year-old Leo – whose girlfriend Camila Morrone, 24, was also at the event – is seen gesturing before he turns and walks away, with Lauren seemingly preparing to follow him and Jeff, 57, also joining in. As the clip cuts out, it’s not clear if Leo was hightailing it out of there and Lauren and Jeff just happened to, conveniently, be heading in the same direction.
Of course, we’re all here for the response to the clip, which has gone viral online, as one noted: ‘Your girl not supposed to look at another man like this.’
Referencing the bare charm of the Oscar winner, another mused: ‘When u got literal billions but ur not leonardo dicaprio.’
Honestly, it’s not what Jeff would call a, er, prime situation.
But honestly, a woman is allowed to appreciate another fine specimen of a human, as one correctly pointed out: ‘I mean i don’t blame her…it’s Leo.’
As one joked ‘All DiCaprio movies about to be pulled from Amazon Prime’ others placated any feelings of jealousy Jeff may have by pointing out the long-held assumption Leo doesn’t date anyone over 25.
News anchor Lauren and Jeff have been linked since January 2019, when their romance came to light shortly after it was announced the Amazon boss and estranged wife MacKenzie Scott – who he shares four children with – were divorcing after 25 years.
Lauren would go on to finalise her own divorce from talent agent Patrick Whitesell in October that year.
