The Leo cheers meme is the moment Jay Gatsby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, first appears at his own party: he turns to Nick Carraway, introduces himself, and raises a shallow champagne coupe toward the camera with a knowing smile as fireworks burst behind him. Your video is about 8 seconds and follows the film shot for shot: first the head lifts to look straight into the camera as the camera pushes in, with the short spoken line, then a cut to the toast, the glass held out toward you as the orchestra swells. Your face, hair, facial hair and glasses go onto him; the black tuxedo, the wing collar and bow tie, the coupe, the fireworks, the timing and the film's own sound stay as they are.

People use it to say congratulations, cheers to that, or happy birthday without typing a word, which is why it comes out at promotions, engagements, award nights, holiday parties and New Year. Know Your Meme's entry, "Great Gatsby Reaction / Leonardo DiCaprio Toast", had 111,843 views when we checked on 2 Nov 2026. For more famous memes starring you, see our memes page, Get These Beggars Out and Distracted Boyfriend; for more film moments, movie scenes; and for a party toast of your own, Champagne Birthday.

The song and the original

Is this the Gatsby toast, the Leo toast meme or the DiCaprio champagne meme?

All three are names for the same moment. People also call it the Gatsby cheers, the Leonardo DiCaprio toast or simply the cheers meme.

The preview still is free, so you see yourself as Gatsby before you pay. The video is 100 credits ($6.99), charged only when it's delivered.

Can ChatGPT make the Leo cheers video?

No. ChatGPT can describe the meme or make a still picture, but it can't put your face into the real film clip as a video. Here you can, from one photo.

Yes: the scene's own sound from the film, with the orchestra swelling as the glass comes up. You can add a different sound in TikTok when you post.

A small, smug smile lands closest to the toast, because your expression comes from your photo. Face the camera, good light, just you in the shot, no hat.

Can I do it with my dog or cat, or with a friend?

Not on this one: Gatsby is alone on screen and the toast needs a hand on the glass, so it's made for one person. For pets, try the Godfather cat scene or our memes; for two people, Bestie Birthday.

Is it good for New Year or a birthday?

That's what it's made for: a toast to a birthday, a promotion, an engagement, a holiday party or midnight on New Year's Eve. Send it instead of a card.
