At the 98th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles, the public's attention was drawn not only to the winners but also to the unexpected changes in the appearance of the stars. One of the most discussed guests of the evening was Leonardo DiCaprio.
The actor appeared at the Dolby Theatre in a classic black tuxedo, but his new image sparked a flurry of reactions online. DiCaprio changed his usual look — darkening his hair and growing a mustache, which social media users immediately began comparing to the appearance of actor Pedro Pascal.
It was the mustache that became the main topic of discussion. Numerous jokes and memes surfaced on the internet: commentators joked that the actor had "borrowed" Pascal's look and had drastically changed.
Despite the wave of comments, the evening itself was calm for DiCaprio. He was accompanied at the ceremony by his girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti. Although the couple did not pose together on the red carpet, they were later spotted sitting next to each other in the hall.
This year, the actor once again went home empty-handed. The award for Best Actor went to Michael B. Jordan for the film "The Offenders," with Timothée Chalamet also among the nominees. According to witnesses, DiCaprio took the results in stride and congratulated the winner.
