Jennifer Lopez was concerned that Leonardo DiCaprio might be ‘mad’ after she revealed his ‘flirty’ response to a text message.
The 55-year-old singer played a funny prank during her appearance on *The Late Late Show with James Corden*, which involved some playful text exchanges with the 49-year-old Oscar winner.
Lopez participated in Corden’s music-themed segment *Carpool Karaoke* in 2016, where they sang some of her biggest hits like “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and “On The Floor.” During the segment, they decided to prank DiCaprio.
The message sent from Lopez’s phone (actually written by Corden) read, “Hey baby, I’m kinda feeling like I need to cut loose. Any suggestions? Let me know, J Lo. You know, from the block.”
Lopez watched as Corden typed the message, and in a surprising twist, DiCaprio responded positively, saying, “You mean tonight, boo-boo? Club-wise?”
The following year, Lopez returned to Corden’s show, where the duo shared more details about the prank. Corden admitted that texting DiCaprio was his favorite part of their collaboration. He then asked Lopez, “How mad did he get?”
Lopez replied, “He wasn’t mad at all! You know, I was afraid he would be mad when it all came out—he was so cool about it.”
Corden recited DiCaprio’s text for the studio audience, and Lopez revealed it was the “most embarrassing 20 minutes” waiting for DiCaprio’s reply. When his response arrived, she was surprised that he seemed to think it was really her texting.
“He answered back like it was totally normal that you would speak that way to him,” Lopez added.
Corden pressed her for more details, asking, “Did you know he calls you boo-boo?” To which Lopez jokingly quipped, “I guess he calls every girl boo-boo!”
In another twist, a company began printing T-shirts featuring DiCaprio’s message. It’s unclear whether DiCaprio was aware of the joke, but one thing is certain—he’s always down to “cut loose” if needed.
