If you ever wanted a reminder that Leonardo DiCaprio is more popular than you, he’s just opened a Weibo account and gained 1.3 million followers overnight. 

The Titanic-number of followers from the account's Inception is sure to continue to grow and grow.

The A-List Oscar winner’s first (and currently only) post was a simple “Hello, China! I am Leonardo.” 

The post has 162,948 shares, 748,830 likes and 196,809 comments.

The comments section has been inundated with thousands of memes of the great man himself. Here are some of our favorites:

Some users were worried about Leo shutting down the comments section or closig his account completely after he received all the amusing memes. One user remarked, “I’m afraid Leo’s next post will be ‘bye China.'”

We hope this user is wrong and his account doesn't become Departed.

It seems there are no limits to his popularity in the Middle Kingdom, especially after The Revenantwas released in China earlier this year.
