“Okay, so the first time I went to the SAG Awards and I won for Ugly Betty, I was on stage and everything. I felt like, 'I belong here, this is great,'” she added.
America continued, “At the awards show, I ended up saying hello to DiCaprio. And I quickly walked away from him, turned the corner, and started crying.”
She recalled that her husband, then-boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams, was “embarrassed” by her reaction.
“Then he encouraged me to stop crying. I hope Leonardo DiCaprio never sees this,” America concluded.
