About
Leonardo DiCaprio Laughing is an image macro of Calvin Candie played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2012 film Django Unchained which features the character smiling while holding a drink. The image gained Photoshop edits starting in November 2017 and became a popular reaction image in August 2020 on Reddit.
Origin
On November 7th, 2017, Tumblr[2] user schuetzengrabenmints posted the earliest known usage of the image macro which added a monster energy drink (shown below). The post, captioned, "Get a load of this tumblr user. FRENCH!" that was a response to pianoplayersara saying she wished the national language was French, gained over 920 notes in three years.
