Leonardo DiCaprio is getting called out for seemingly ignoring hotel staffers in Fiji as they sang and danced for him on his way out of the luxe property.
A viral video shows the “Titanic” star, 50, talking on his phone as he walks through the hotel lobby in Nadi to make his way out. He appeared to be trying to stay incognito in his typical all-black attire.
However, DiCaprio appeared caught off guard by the raucous.
The clip showed several guests standing around with phones in their hands recording, as staffers sang “Isa Lei,” which is traditionally sung at Fijian hotels to mark the end of a guest’s stay.
His girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, was also present, during the farewell ceremony.
“Being humble is the key to success,” one critic wrote via TikTok. Another said they wished the “Wolf of Wall Street” star was not on his phone at that time, adding, “You have to acknowledge this, or go home.”
Page Six has reached out to DiCaprio’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
However, sources tell Page Six that the movie star’s demeanor was not an intentional slight to the hotel.
We’re told the traditional dance was for all the guests — not just DiCaprio — and he wasn’t facing directly where the dancing and singing was taking place.
Sources add that the “Don’t Look Up” star is known to be “very kind.”
Some people on social media also defended DiCaprio, noting that just because he is an A-lister doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve privacy.
“He didn’t ask for a choir. He wants to be left alone like any of us. Ain’t no one singing us a choir leaving or arriving at a hotel,” one person commented on TiKTok.
Another weighed in that the performance was “sweet” but they “doubt” DiCaprio wanted the attention.
The overseas vacation comes just a few weeks after the “Inception” star celebrated his 50th birthday with a star-studded fête that included Paris Hilton, Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro and Steven Speilberg.
There have also been rumblings that DiCaprio and Ceretti, 26, have another reason to celebrate: an engagement.
However, Page Six exclusively learned Tuesday that the “Romeo+Juliet” star has not yet proposed.
