While playing volleyball with pals, including Robin Thicke and his fiancee April Love Geary, in Malibu over the weekend, the 44-year-old DiCaprio was photographed getting whacked in the face by a ball after failing to make a bump pass.

According to Page Six, who reported the unfortunate smack in the face first, the “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood” actor escaped the moment sans injury – even his blue Mets cap survived the day.
Twitter soon turned the photo into a meme, starting to spread it wildly.

For some users, this image represented what happens when you’re confronted by something you were completely unprepared to confront.

Others were reminded of the 2000 American survival drama film “Cast Away” and the famous volleyball named Wilson, who was the main character’s companion.
