Their chemistry brought a palpable authenticity to their performances, making their love story resonate deeply with audiences. DiCaprio’s charismatic charm and Winslet’s captivating presence created a dynamic and electrifying partnership, contributing to the legacy of their on-screen romance in one of cinema’s most beloved films. However, during their first meeting, Kate Winslet did something shocking.
Kate Winslet Wanted To Break The Ice With Leonardo DiCaprio
While filming Titanic, Kate Winslet chose a unique approach to breaking the ice with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. In a moment of spontaneity, Winslet decided to flash DiCaprio. Although both actors have become as close as siblings over time, they were practically strangers when they embarked on the first day of filming together.
And what better way to break the ice than by capturing the iconic scene where Jack draws Rose? This pivotal moment in Titanic marked the beginning of their on-screen connection. DiCaprio’s portrayal of Jack and Winslet as Rose came together to create a chemistry that would captivate viewers for generations to come.
Renowned as one of the most passionate on-screen couples in cinematic history, it’s hard to forget the car scene between Jack and Rose. However, off-screen, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet couldn’t be more different from their on-screen counterparts.
“We were kind of the two goofy kids on the set,” Winslet said. “Y’know, working with Leonardo DiCaprio – he’s a bit gorgeous, and I was worried that I was going to be bowled over by him or that he was going to find me all stuffy and Shakespearean and English. But the second we met, we just completely clicked.”
Leonardo DiCaprio And Kate Winslet Did Absurd Things On Set
According to Winslet, she and DiCaprio would engage in playful antics, often pushing the boundaries of absurdity. One such memorable incident occurred on the first day of filming when Winslet surprised DiCaprio by flashing him. This unexpected gesture caught DiCaprio completely off guard.
According to James Cameron’s book Titanic – The Official Behind the Scenes, the very first scene the cast filmed was the iconic nude drawing scene. During this intimate and vulnerable moment, the burgeoning friendship between DiCaprio and Winslet truly blossomed.
In the book, DiCaprio says, “She had no shame with it. She wanted to break the ice a little beforehand, so she flashed me. I wasn’t prepared for that, so she had a one-up on me. I was pretty comfortable after that.”
Titanic is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
