The New York Post found itself on the wrong end of a Twitter trend on Monday after posting an image from an upcoming film showing an instantly recognizable Leonardo DiCaprio.
Except that’s not how the newspaper put it.
“Leonardo DiCaprio unrecognizable in first photos of new Scorsese film,” the paper’s tweet said, showing a pic of the actor with co-star Lily Gladstone on the set of Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Naturally, Twitter users had a few things to say as the topic trended:
the only way Leo is "unrecognizable" in this photo is if he's playing the woman, the bowl, or the salt shaker. https://t.co/u76zVcumO3

The only way this comment makes sense is if the person on the left is Leonardo DiCaprio.https://t.co/IsFtdYkWam

Completely unrecognizable. I can’t tell if Leo is the woman on the left or the one who looks exactly like Leonardo DiCaprio. https://t.co/w54gEHgM4q

Unless he’s the one on the left this headline is a real stretch. https://t.co/fVFADZAFn5
