Leonardo DiCaprio had another awkward interaction with Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sánchez after she planted a kiss on his cheek at the amfAR Gala on Thursday.
The 50-year-old Oscar winner attended the gala in Cap d’Antibes, France, ahead of the closing awards at the nearby Cannes Film Festival, while Bezos and Sánchez were also guests.
The charitable event — which raises money to support AIDS research and HIV education and prevention efforts — featured a reprise of a viral video from 2021 that exploded after fans thought it showed Lauren giving Leo flirty looks when she and Jeff ran into him.
And the actor’s night took another strange turn when his girlfriend, the 26-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, grabbed at his neck in a manner that made it look as if she was manhandling him, rather than trying to be affectionate.
In a new video circulating on social media, Leo could be seen visiting a dinner table with Vittoria as they circled the perimeter to greet the seated guests, which included Jeff and Lauren.

Once it was Leo’s turn to say hello to the multi-billionaire and his soon-to-be wife, he leaned down strangely and held his head between theirs.
He seemed to be getting close so that he would bring the couple together for a hug, as he had a hand on each of their outer arms.
It wasn’t obvious that the Wolf Of Wall Street star was hunting for a kiss, but Lauren took it as an opportunity by planting a tiny peck on his cheek after beaming at him.
But the Amazon founder looked surprised to see the Hollywood star suddenly next to his face at the same time.
He broke into a smile after getting his bearings, but DiCaprio was already moving on to shaking hands with other influential figures at the table.
The moment was reminiscent of a now-iconic clip of Leo and Lauren at the 2021 Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) Art+Film Gala in LA that appeared to show her ‘thirsting’ over him.
Video of the event showed DiCaprio chatting with her and Jeff, but fans honed in on what they thought were googly eyes that she was making at the Titanic star.
She beamed ear-to-ear as he spoke, as if there was nothing else going on.

Bezos responded to the viral video by jokingly threatening to toss DiCaprio off a cliff
The video made enough of a splash to prompt Bezos to film a response video with a joking threat to DiCaprio.
In the clip, the space-tourism booster tried to convince DiCaprio to follow him to the edge of a clip, where he could push him over the side to his death.
Although it all appeared to be fun and games, a few commenters worried that DiCaprio might find himself out of Bezos’ good graces after the clip of Sánchez seeming to ogle him went viral.
Leonardo was also spotted having an awkward interaction with his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretto at the amfAR Gala.
The two were seen in a short clip circulating on social media as they sat next to each other at their table.
Leo, who was decked out in a black suit that he dressed down with a black T-shirt and his customary black baseball cap, was seen from behind, but Vittoria’s face could be seen clearly as she turned to speak to him.
The Catch Me If You Can star looked as if he didn’t want to have the interaction, which was drowned out by the music, as he leaned back away from Vittoria even as she moved closer and grabbed the back of his neck with her hand.
As a person stepped behind them in front of the camera, it looked as if she might have even yanked Leo back and forth before getting her mouth right up to his ear to shout over the music.

Vittoria had a tense, serious expression on her face, far from the care-free look one would expect at a celebrity gala, and her boyfriend again appeared to recoil as she grabbed at him before she pulled her hand off his neck.
Leo then nodded back at his girlfriend before leaning over to say something to her, though his face wasn’t visible as he ducked behind a standing person.
Before grabbing at his neck, the Italian model appeared to take a quick glimpse back toward the camera, so she may have noticed that someone was filming them and tried to alert the famously private star.
Leo has been linked to Vittoria since August of 2023.
