Jennifer Lopez on Leonardo DiCaprio's reaction to Carpool Karaoke text

'He was a great sport about it,' says Lopez

Jennifer Lopez allowing James Corden to trawl through her phone contacts during a Carpool Karaoke Special did not end well for Leonardo DiCaprio, who found himself being pranked on camera. But Lopez says DiCaprio good-naturedly took it all in his stride.

The singer was the latest star to join Corden’s weekly sing-along in an episode which culminated with Cordon texting DiCaprio: “I'm kind of feeling like I need to cut loose. Any suggestions, let me know. J. Lo (you know, from the block).”

An unassuming DiCaprio immediately fired back with the now infamous response: “You mean tonight, boo boo? Club wise?”

Lopez said she broke the news that her text was a prank quickly after, which the Oscar-winning actor apparently took well.

“I did have to explain it to him,” she told reporters gathered after filming American Idol. “He was a great sport about it ... I was like, 'So hey, this is what had happened! I was with James Corden.

”He's great. He's a friend and it was nice. He was totally like, 'Do whatever you want, I don't care.' I don't know if he'd say that today!“ She also insisted they did not go for a night out together. “I was home cooking with my kids and my boyfriend.”
