Above, Leonardo DiCaprio explains that he, like virtually everyone else between the ages of 14-35, thinks "Jersey Shore" is "funny," and can recite the show's lines from memory. In other words, "Celebrities: They're Just Like Us!" Except that's an oversimplification, because Leonardo DiCaprio's TiVo is programmed by his personal assistant, and he watches the show next to his supermodel girlfriend. Still, as you may have heard, the "Jersey Shore" kids were blown away to learn, upon meeting DiCaprio, the actor went up to them and was "really excited to meet them." But hold on...a man who makes over $20 million per movie is that pumped to meet people who make $200 per episode? In the words of GOB Bluth, "COME ON!"
So let's get the real story: According to the actor, Snooki, The Situation, and Co. came up to him in a club. He shook their hands, and "yelled some of the funny lines" at them. In other words, he treated them the way kids treat gorillas at the zoo. That seems much more likely, and you know what? Compared to the way the "Jersey Shore" cast portrayed themselves on television, DiCaprio was hardly demeaning in comparison.
