It's funny to think Leo didn't even really want to do it and it wound up making him a superstar.
>>215044004 Can you imagine a timeline where Tom Cruise was painting Jennifer Connelly like one of his French girls the physical's, and Hugh Grant was locking him in the sinking ship while abandoning Rose?
>>215044004Cal is a very Rufus Sewell coded role.
>>215044466Yeah I saw James Cameron talking about it recently and he made it seem like Leonardo was a little shit who acted like he was above the role. Cameron was trying to get him to read lines with Winslet before getting the role and he was refusing
>>215044820It's true. Leo had his eye on Boogie Nights, I reckon he only tested for Titanic because it has the hottest role in Hollywood, and he wound up getting it on sheer charisma and chemistry with Winslet.Whereas Cameron didn't really want to cast Winslet and she had to literally beg him for the role.
>>215044004>Jeremy Sistohes jewish right? thats the only reason he keeps getting roles
