What it means
Leo Strutting is Leonardo DiCaprio as Rick Dalton in the 2019 film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, striding across his driveway with a drink and cigarette in hand, magazine tucked under one arm, wearing the walk of a man who believes he is untouchable. In context it is an aging actor's morning ritual of self-reassurance, but as a meme it became the universal image of unearned or rebound confidence: the caption names the minor thing that just happened, and the strut represents the person treating it as a major triumph. It is used for acing a test you did not study for, getting one compliment, and walking out of a meeting that went only slightly better than expected.
When to use it
- Walking with confidence after a minor win
- Unearned or rebound swagger after the smallest success
- Celebrating yourself with cinematic self-importance
