Leonardo DiCaprio may be the king of the big screen, but he claims to have never seen Titanic – or most of his films, for that matter.
Jennifer Lawrence asked her 51-year-old fellow Oscar winner, during Variety’s Actors on Actors series, whether he’s ever rewatched James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster when DiCaprio revealed, “I haven’t seen it before.
“I don’t really watch my films,” continued the One Battle After Another star, whose fame entered a global stratosphere with the success of Titanic.
Lawrence, 35, echoed that she doesn’t watch her work either, though, “I’ve never made something like Titanic, if I did, I would watch it.”
It’s unclear which of his films DiCaprio has seen, but one would probably have to go out of their way to avoid the 1997 best picture winner.
In addition to theatrical rereleases, including an IMAX version in 2012 and 2023, the three-hour-plus heartbreaker was a fixture on channels like TNT.
Titanic was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry in 2017 and is the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time, behind Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water – which, like its predecessor and Titanic, was also helmed by Cameron, 71. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
