Leonardo DiCaprio shocked fans by confessing that he has never rewatched the biggest blockbuster from his 35-year acting career, Titanic.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner memorably portrayed starving artist Jack Dawson in James Cameron’s 1997 romantic disaster epic, which amassed $2.264 billion from a $200 million budget and won 11 Academy Awards.
When quizzed by Jennifer Lawrence for Variety’s Actors on Actors on Wednesday about whether he had ever ‘rewatched Titanic’, DiCaprio responded: ‘No, I haven’t seen it in forever’.
The 35-year-old Oscar winner shot back: ‘Oh, you should. I bet you could watch it as a movie now, it’s so good!’
Seeming to confirm he has never watched the three hour epic also starring Kate Winslet, DiCaprio added: ‘I don’t really watch my films, do you?’
Lawrence quipped: ‘No. I’ve never made something like Titanic, if I did I would watch it. 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’s revelation made waves on Variety’s X account where many users commented with eye emojis and marveled: A shocked user wrote: ‘Leo’s never seen Titanic!’
‘How can you be the main actor in a popular movie and never seen the movie?’ another commenter said. ‘This can’t be possible.’
Another posted a meme of a shocked man.
‘Leonardo DiCaprio admitting he’s never seen Titanic might be the most Actors on Actors moment ever,’ one tweeted.
