Lauren Sanchez has embarrassed herself again—at least according to fans. The 55-year-old was attending the amfAR Gala in France with her finacé, Jeff Bezos, when Leonardo DiCaprio came to say hello. Mistakenly thinking DiCaprio was leaning in for a kiss rather than a hug, Sanchez awkwardly planted one on his cheek. Keep reading for more information.

Lauren Sanchez Puckers Up To Leo DiCaprio

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos were attending the American Foundation for AIDS Research earlier this month and were seated at their table when Bezos’ good friend, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, came over to say hello. Placing an arm around Lauren and Jeff and leaning in for a quick hug, the actor—nor Bezos—expected Sanchez to lean in for a kiss on the cheek.

After DiCaprio quickly pulled away and went to say hello to a different guest, Bezos looked at his fiancée with a stunned glance, while Sanchez awkwardly looked away. Oops!

The Internet Reacts

A clip of the interaction has circulated across the various social media platforms, and fans are certainly giving Sanchez a tough time, leaving comments like, "So pathetic!"

Others thought it a compliment to Leonardo DiCaprio, writing, "To both old women and young gals, he's still the Jack from Titanic!"

"Yikes," wrote another. "That's embarrassing!"

"I wish Sanchez would act her age," another said. "Aging gracefully is much more attractive than all this filler."
