Leonardo DiCaprio on Teyana Taylor Interview

Leonardo DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor had one laugh after another while working together. 

Before the Paul Thomas Anderson film earned a whopping 14 nominations for the Critics Choice Awards 2026, the Titanic alum—who earned a Best Actor nod for his role as Bob Ferguson—emphasized that it was an honor to work alongside the multi-hyphenate. 

“She’s got the best sense of humor,” Leonardo told E! News at the premiere of the film in September. “I knew when she was brought into this movie, I was like, ‘This girl is gonna bring the heat.’ And she did. She’s an amazing hang. She’s awesome.”

The “Gonna Love Me” singer—who nabbed a Best Supporting Actress nod at the upcoming Critics Choice Awards, which will air live Jan. 4 on E! and USA—naturally concurred. 

“Leo is a good time,” Teyana told E!. “He’s so much fun. That’s my brother. He’s a mentor and a great leader on set.”
