Leonardo DiCaprio has explained what happened with Lady Gaga at the Golden Globes after a clip of him went viral.

The actor, whose reaction to the singer walking past him to collect her award became a topic of conversation, has said that he was simply confused about what was happening.

Rather than ‘snubbing’ the award-winner, it seems that the cameras simply caught DiCaprio in a moment of surprise.

Clearly shocked that the moment had gained so much momentum on social media, the award-winner told Entertainment Tonight:

“Oh lord - that’s trending, huh? I just didn't know what was passing me - that’s all!"

The A-lister’s animated facial expressions became one of the main talking points of Sunday's ceremony, which saw the star named Best Actor for his role in The Revenant.

The actor, who is tipped to win big at the BAFTAs and The Oscars, told the crowd at the Beverly Hilton:

“What an incredible honor.Wow, that meant a lot. To the other fantastic performances in this category, you guys were incredible.”
