Thanks to the White House Twitter account, which posted this very exemplary photo of the two ahead of the President’s South by South Lawn festival ([a riff on Austin’s South by Southwest](http://time.com/4244934/barack-michelle-obama-sxsw/)) where they will apparently be discussing “combating climate change,” we now have this gem of a photo to both admire and speculate about the conversation the pair were having. > [](https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/780146904390733824) Of course, the Internet had lots of ideas of what POTUS and Leo were discussing and needless to say, not many of them involved climate change. Some people thought that Barack wanted to chat about Titanic’s ending. > [](https://twitter.com/DLin71/status/780414582036766720) And _The Revenant_ was bound to make an appearance. > [](https://twitter.com/darth/status/780222134958247936) As was _Inception_. > [](https://twitter.com/john%5Falvarado%5F1/status/780270188298022912) However, some Internet users were just happy to see two of their favorite people in one picture. > [](https://twitter.com/binnxks/status/780382093079490561) Leonardo DiCaprio and President Obama: Twitter Reaction Chat ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4508249/president-obama-leonardo-dicaprio-discussion/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4508249/president-obama-leonardo-dicaprio-discussion/"},"headline":"Here's What the Internet Thinks President Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio Are Discussing","datePublished":"2016-09-26T19:59:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:00.557Z","description":"Real recognize real","url":"https://time.com/4508249/president-obama-leonardo-dicaprio-discussion/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Barack Obama","politics","Internet","twitter","Leonardo DiCaprio"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2a325e4236f3afdb/6988a78a2dce015af59eac99/dicaprio-obama-2016.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2a325e4236f3afdb/6988a78a2dce015af59eac99/dicaprio-obama-2016.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"dicaprio-obama-2016","caption":"","creditText":"(Courtesy: White House / Twitter)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4508249/president-obama-leonardo-dicaprio-discussion/","name":"Here's What the Internet Thinks President Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio Are Discussing"}}]}] ```
