The tragic love story in James Cameron’sTitanicsits heavy on people’s hearts even after three decades. After all, Rose and Jack’s romance was one of the greatest in cinematic history. But Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio were far from beloved sweethearts on set.
While the two have been close friends ever since their first project together, DiCaprio wasn’t always the paragon of friendship during the shooting.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s Grim Reaction on Kate Winslet’s 21st Birthday
An October-bornKate Winsletwas 20 years old when the filming forTitanicfirst began back in 1996 and the English actress turned 21 on the set of James Cameron’s blockbuster epic romantic disaster. But she certainly didn’t envisageLeonardo DiCaprio‘s harsh reaction as a part of her birthday celebration.
During her appearance onThe Oprah Winfrey Showin the ‘Secrets of Titanic’ Special, the Academy Award-winning actress disclosed the cold, clipped conversation she had on her 21st birthday with herTitanicco-star (viaYouTube).
It was my twenty-first birthday, and I told Leo during one of the takes. I said, ‘Leo, it’s my birthday today.’ And he said, ‘Sweetie, I really don’t care.’
Ouch. That was uncalled for. Just imagine his reaction had Winslet turned 25 on the set.

Jokes apart, however, Winslet, 48, once mentioned how she“clicked immediately, right away”with DiCaprio, 49 when they joined forces onTitanic, and ever since then, the two have maintained a solid friendship to this very date (via Entertainment Tonight |The Hollywood Reporter).
