Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have proven that true friendships can stand the test of time. More than two decades after meeting on the set of Titanic, the duo continues to share a deep bond, reportedly considering each other “like family.”
As reported by In Touch, their connection has only grown stronger over the years, even if they don’t see each other frequently. “Kate and Leo can go months without seeing each other,” an insider revealed. “But then they’ll be at a party or event, and it’s like no time has passed at all.”
The friendship began in 1996 during the filming of Titanic, and their on-screen chemistry quickly translated into a lifelong connection. According to the source, “Their friendship means a lot to them,” and it’s clear the bond remains unshakable.
While many fans have wondered if romance was ever on the table, DiCaprio and Winslet have always maintained a purely platonic relationship. However, one of DiCaprio’s other co-stars, Margot Robbie, once admitted to having a crush on him during the filming of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaking on the Talking Pictures podcast, Robbie recalled her audition process for the movie, sharing, “My managers made me redo my audition tape five times because it wasn’t good enough.” She also revealed a bold decision she made during her audition. “I thought, ‘I could kiss Leonardo DiCaprio right now, and that would be awesome,’” she laughed.
Robbie also spoke about filming a daring scene in the movie and how she accidentally hit DiCaprio too hard during the audition. Despite the hiccup, she landed the role and left her mark on the film.
While anecdotes like these are entertaining, the enduring friendship between Winslet and DiCaprio remains the true heartwarming story. Their connection, spanning decades, is a testament to the genuine bond they’ve built since their early days in Hollywood.
