Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio (51) shocked fans by revealing that he has never watched Titanic, his signature film and a blockbuster that left a lasting mark on film history, even after 35 years since his debut.
DiCaprio candidly admitted, "I still haven't seen Titanic," while talking with actress Jennifer Lawrence on Variety's "Actors on Actors" segment released on the 17th (local time). Lawrence reacted with a surprised expression, saying, "You should really see it even now."
But DiCaprio calmly explained, "I don't really watch my own films." Having begun acting as a child, he indicated that he is not accustomed to revisiting his filmography from the audience's perspective.
The remark spread quickly on social media shortly after it was released. On Variety's official account, comments expressing astonishment poured in, such as "The lead actor hasn't seen his own film?" and "Is that possible?" One netizen wrote, "The fact that Leo hasn't seen Titanic is the most shocking news of the day," while another fan, mixing in laughter, responded, "This is exactly an 'Actors on Actors' moment."
Titanic was released in 1997 with a production budget of $200 million and earned about $2.2 billion worldwide, ranking it among the highest-grossing films of all time, and it won an astonishing 11 Academy Awards. DiCaprio rose to worldwide stardom playing the impoverished artist Jack Dawson in the film.
Meanwhile, in this interview Lawrence referenced DiCaprio's private life and past headlines with humorous questions, turning the set into a sea of laughter. The two are set to reunite in a project once again after the film Don't Look Up, so this conversation drew considerable attention.
