Kate Winslet talks about her ‘unusual’ relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio

“We were a little unit, and that was quite unusual. It is unusual. He would have done anything for me, and I would have done anything for him. You know, we stood up for each other and quite literally held each other’s hands. You know, when you’re standing in the freezing cold water for 10 hours straight, and all you want to do is cry… we’d be holding hands under the surface of the water, and he was saying, ‘Come on, sweetie, one more take. We can do it.’ And I think if we haven’t have had that, yeah, we could have been outshone by the sinking ship.”

It is quite unique, so lucky me. And I got Leonardo DiCaprio all to myself for seven and a half months. It was fantastic.”
