Close to, far ― wherever you’re ― you must know that Leonardo DiCaprio hasn’t rewatched “Titanic” any time lately.
The performing icon made the admission throughout a sit-down with former co-star Jennifer Lawrence for Selection’s acclaimed “Actors on Actors” collection.
“Have you rewatched ‘Titanic’?” Lawrence asks DiCaprio in the course of the dialog, which was printed Wednesday morning.
Within the website’s transcript of their dialog, DiCaprio is quoted as responding, “No. I haven’t seen it before” ― a doubtlessly surprising admission.
Nonetheless, in video of the interview printed afterward Wednesday afternoon, the star’s phrases are much less clear, and he appears to be saying. “No, I haven’t seen it in forever.”
Selection didn’t instantly reply to a request for touch upon the quote. However both approach, Lawrence was fast to voice that the movie holds up.
“Oh, you should. I bet you could watch it now, it’s so good,” Lawrence mentioned.
DiCaprio mentioned that he doesn’t “really watch” his movies, earlier than asking the “Hunger Games” star if she did.
“No. I’ve never made something like ‘Titanic.’ If I did, I would watch it,” she answered. “Once I was really drunk, I put on ‘American Hustle.’ I was like, ‘I wonder if I’m good at acting?’ I put it on, and I don’t remember what the answer is.”
DiCaprio virtually didn’t land the function of Jack Dawson in “Titanic,” as director James Cameron beforehand shared that the actor didn’t need to learn for the half throughout auditions.

Cameron instructed GQ in 2022 that after an preliminary assembly with DiCaprio, he introduced him in a couple of days later for the subsequent steps.
“I had the camera set up to record the video,” Cameron mentioned, explaining that the actor didn’t know he was going to check. “He thought it was another meeting to meet Kate.”
Cameron recalled, “So I said, ‘Okay, we’ll just go in the next room, and we’ll run some lines and I’ll video it.’ And he said, ‘You mean, I’m reading?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, “Oh, I don’t read.’ I shook his hand and said, ‘Thanks for coming by.’”
DiCaprio was surprised and reportedly instructed Cameron, “‘Wait, wait, wait. If I don’t read, I don’t get the part? Just like that?’”
“Oh, yeah ― come on,” the “Avatar” director mentioned he answered. “This is a giant movie that is going to take two years of my life, and you’ll be gone doing five other things while I’m doing post-production. So, I’m not going to fuck it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So, you’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.’”
DiCaprio acquiesced, and the remainder is historical past.
“He comes in, and he’s like every ounce of his entire being is just so negative — right up until I said, ‘Action.’ Then he turned into Jack,” Cameron mentioned. “Kate just lit up, and they played the scene. Dark clouds had opened up, and a ray of sun came down and lit up Jack. I’m like, ‘All right. He’s the guy.’”
