Cape Town – Leonardo DiCaprio thinks he is a “douchebag,” according to comic Katthy Griffin that is.
The red-headed actress revealed that’s what he called himself after she teased him for snubbing her at a fancy dinner party, the Daily Mail reported.
In her new book, Kathy Griffin’s Celebrity Run-Ins Kathy describes the first time she met Leo, which was at the Directors Guild of America Awards this year.
See the book cover here:
After seeing the gorgeous Titanic star, Kathy didn’t want to let the opportunity of meeting him pass her by, but getting his attention wasn’t so easy.
Using comedian Lily Tomlin as bait Kathy gave her first attempt at catching Leo’s eye, she writes: “I stood up and said, ‘Don't be a douchebag, Leo. Get off your fucking phone and say hi to the great Lily Tomlin!’”
After failing Kathy tried a second time, “I repeated it until he finally turned his head, pulled his precious phone away, and kindly said hello to Lily.”
But the interaction didn’t end there. As Leo got up and walked away Kathy once again told him not to be a “douchebag” to which he simply smiled and replied, “I am a douchebag.”
