EJAE Blames Leonardo DiCaprio’s Serious Face For BAFTAs Slip-Up!
- EJAE’s BAFTAs performance oops!
- Leonardo DiCaprio’s not-so-smiley face.
- Why even stars get starstruck.
- Our thoughts on the whole thing!
We just heard the most relatable story from the BAFTAs! EJAE, the awesome singer from ‘KPop Demon Hunters,’ totally spilled some tea. She messed up her big performance.
Why? Get this. She saw Leonardo DiCaprio. And he wasn’t smiling.
EJAE told the U.K. newspaper the Times all about it. ‘I made mistakes,’ she said. A little crack on the high notes. Oops.
Think about it. That huge, fancy BAFTA stage. All the bright lights. The whole serious, polished aesthetic. And then, there’s *him*. Leonardo DiCaprio.
She said he ‘was not smiling.’ And that, she admits, is ‘what put me off.’ Her words!
Can you even imagine? Trying to hit those high notes with a Hollywood legend staring at you? Who isn’t giving you a single grin? No pressure, right?
It just shows that even amazing performers get starstruck. They’re human, just like us. We’d probably forget all our lyrics if Leo was watching!
Our Take
We think this is so real. Performing on that stage is a lot. Add one of the biggest movie stars ever, looking super serious? That’s a huge distraction. It just makes EJAE even more relatable. She’s a fantastic singer, and this little stumble makes her even cooler.
