Jemal Countess—Getty Images for Tony Awards Productions  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jun 13, 2018 4:07 PM UTC [Tiffany Haddish](http://time.com/collection-post/5217580/tiffany-haddish/) has a crush on [Leonardo DiCaprio](http://time.com/5233627/leonardo-dicaprio-jane-goodall-moby/). And unlike the rest of us, who do not breathe the same rarefied air that the [Oscar winner](http://time.com/5126845/tom-hardy-leo-tattoo/) and [environmental activist](http://time.com/4803001/leonardo-dicaprio-on-trump-environment/) also consumes, Haddish has had the opportunity to actually chat up DiCaprio. Because she’s Haddish — breakout star of _Girls Trip,_[ Beyoncé pal ](http://time.com/5243906/tiffany-haddish-who-bit-beyonce-time-100/)and in-demand actor — her approach to DiCaprio was just as unfiltered and hilarious as you might expect. In a new interview, she explained how she tried to make a rendezvous with DiCaprio into a reality. “Yeah, I met him at a party two, three months ago, and I asked him if he’d let me hit that,” Haddish [told _The Hollywood Reporter._](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/tiffany-haddish-new-queen-comedy-has-a-crazy-story-you-1119446) --- > “” --- Unfortunately, the reporter decided to change the subject to something else at that moment — so we may never know when “this” is going to happen, but we can only hope they will for more funny anecdotes. In the meantime, congratulations to Haddish for shooting her shot. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5310980/tiffany-haddish-leo-dicaprio/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5310980/tiffany-haddish-leo-dicaprio/"},"headline":"How Tiffany Haddish Attempted to Turn Her Leonardo DiCaprio Crush Into Something More","datePublished":"2018-06-13T16:07:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:23.531Z","description":"\"I asked him if he'd let me hit that\"","url":"https://time.com/5310980/tiffany-haddish-leo-dicaprio/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dc31b63d956805d/698932fc656a3f23b5bd4b46/tiffany-haddish-tonys.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8dc31b63d956805d/698932fc656a3f23b5bd4b46/tiffany-haddish-tonys.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2018 Tony Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"2018 Tony Awards - Red Carpet","creditText":"Jemal Countess—Getty Images for Tony Awards Productions","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/5310980/tiffany-haddish-leo-dicaprio/","name":"How Tiffany Haddish Attempted to Turn Her Leonardo DiCaprio Crush Into Something More"}}]}] ```
