The Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais singled out Leonardo DiCaprio while introducing the awards show on Sunday night.
The comedian roasted DiCaprio for dating much younger women — the 45-year-old actor is now involved with the 22-year-old model Camila Morrone.
"'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' nearly three hours long," Gervais said. "Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him."
DiCaprio could be seen laughing heartily in the crowd before Gervais took it a step further: "Even Prince Andrew's like, 'Come on, Leo, mate, you're nearly 50, son.'"
Last year, a graph charting DiCaprio's relationship history made by the Reddit user TrustLittleBrother appeared to show that his cut-off age for girlfriends was 25.
Ricky Gervais used part of his Golden Globes opening monologue to joke about Leonardo DiCaprio's penchant for dating younger women.
During his wild introduction to Sunday night's awards show, the comedian started the joke by bringing up Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," which stars DiCaprio alongside Brad Pitt.
"'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' nearly three hours long," he said.
"Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere, and by the end, his date was too old for him."
DiCaprio could be seen laughing heartily at the gibe before Gervais took it a step further.
"Even Prince Andrew's like, 'Come on, Leo, mate, you're nearly 50, son'" — a reference to the royal's embroilment in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

DiCaprio was far from the only A-lister in the room to come under attack from Gervais during his monologue.
Gervais managed to insult most of Hollywood before concluding: "If you win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech.
"You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.
"So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your god, and f--- off."
