Jeff Bezos had two main options when responding to footage of his girlfriend swooning after Leonardo DiCaprio – either with burning jealousy or banter. Well, the Amazon boss chose somewhere in between.
The internet is still recovering after a clip of Bezos’ girlfriend Lauren Sanchez taken in by the charm of Hollywood titan Leo when they met at the LACMA Art +Film Gala on Sunday.
Poor Bezos became the third wheel in his own relationship as he merely stood by and watched Lauren fangirl over the Titanic star.
Bezos may be a billionaire businessman but perhaps one thing he can’t buy is Leo’s natural Hollywood charm, right?
After no doubt scrolling through the legions of memes created about the interaction, Bezos finally addressed the moment by tweeting a hilarious photo of him on a hike, standing over a sign that said: ‘Danger! Steep cliff. Fatal drop.’
He added in the caption: ‘Leo, come over here, I want to show you something… @LeoDiCaprio.’
Basically, if joking through your pain was a person.
We kid. Bezos’ followers were loving him being a good sport about the awkward situation with tennis champ Serena Williams commenting: ‘Dying lol !!!!.’
Impressed by his response, one said: ‘By Jove! Never knew @JeffBezos has a good sense of humor,we need to see more of this side.’
‘Sometimes I forget billionaires see the same jokes we see.. or is he serious,’ another said.
However, unconvinced by Bezos’ banter, one joked: ‘Leo never getting a package on time again.’

In the hilarious clip that started it all, Lauren, 51, is seen adoringly gazing up at Leo, who seemed to be slightly panicked and awkward about the encounter.
As the three talk, Leo, 47, – 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.
