Are Bezos and DiCaprio in a love triangle? ... Bezos says "I want to push [him] off a cliff"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] A video showing billionaire Jeff Bezos (57), the founder of Amazon, and his girlfriend gazing at Hollywood star actor Leonardo DiCaprio (46) with admiring eyes has become a hot topic in the American entertainment industry.

On the 9th (local time), according to CNN and Fox News, the U.S. entertainment media Variety posted a video on Twitter on the 8th capturing the moment when Bezos, his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez (51), and DiCaprio met at the 'LACMA 2021 Art+ Film Gala' held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

The 6-second video taken by the media's senior editor Mark Malkin shows Sanchez standing close to DiCaprio, looking at him with admiring eyes, while firmly holding Bezos's hand with one hand.

In the video, when DiCaprio says something, the three appear to move to another location. However, due to surrounding noise, their conversation cannot be understood.

The video was originally released by the online media Barstool Sports, which titled it "Mr. Heartthrob Thief" targeting DiCaprio.

As the video became a hot topic on the internet, DiCaprio trended in real-time search keywords. One Twitter user joked, "Even with all that money, he is still powerless to stop his girlfriend from longing for DiCaprio."

Another Twitter user added that DiCaprio would receive a message saying, "Your Amazon Prime membership has been canceled."

Bezos did not stay silent either. He posted on Twitter a photo of himself with both arms on a warning sign that reads, "Danger! Steep cliff. Fatal if fallen," along with the caption, "DiCaprio, come here. I have something to show you."

This was interpreted as a joke expressing his desire to lure DiCaprio and push him off the cliff. CNN explained this by quoting the title of a movie DiCaprio starred in, saying, "He joked about making DiCaprio a 'departed'."

Martin Scorsese's 'The Departed,' which won the Academy Award for Best Picture, is the Hollywood version of the Hong Kong noir masterpiece 'Infernal Affairs,' starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau.
