Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have been best friends for over 20 years
No Hollywood friendship can compare to the one shared between Winslet and DiCaprio. These two have stuck by each other’s side through thick and thin. Winslet has even gone so far as to call The Great Gatsby actor her “closest friend in the world.”
Their relationship is so inseparable that, according to reports, DiCaprio walked Winslet down the aisle at her 2013 wedding ceremony. It turns out Jack really meant it when he said he’d “never let go.”
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio used to share sex tips in-between ‘Titanic’ takes
According to Rolling Stone, Cameron says Winslet and DiCaprio got along in the same way as freshmen in college have for years. The two were continually stifling giggle fits, and their relationship became incredibly intimate. There are really no boundaries between Winslet and DiCaprio. Because of this, the co-stars would snuggle up under a blanket in DiCaprio’s trailer, while openly discussing sex. As told by Rolling Stone,
“Between shots, Winslet says, she and DiCaprio would snuggle under a blanket in his trailer and talk about sex. ‘You know, some very, very personal things, asking each other for advice,’ she says. ‘Not necessarily comparing notes but sort of, ‘No, don’t do it like that, do it like this.’ He’s very good at that. I have to say, a lot of those sexual tips he’s given me have worked. And I know it’s vice versa.'”
Leonardo DiCaprio tried to gross out Kate Winslet while shooting ‘Titanic’
As classy as these two appear when strolling down the red carpet hand in hand, their behavior behind closed doors is a lot goofier. In a frat-boy-ish nature, DiCaprio used to pull all kinds of stunts on Winslet while shooting Titanic. In an effort to gross his BFF out, DiCaprio would fart in his jacket and place it over Winslet’s head. While most would be furious about the prank, the British starlet would just laugh it off.
Rolling Stone further emphasizes their silly dynamic on set:
“‘Grossing Kate out was purely Leo’s job,’ says Billy Zane, who plays her rich, unappealing fiance in Titanic. ‘He got really good at it. If he wasn’t rolling back his eyelids, he was making objets d’art out of bodily fluids.’ Cameron recalls that DiCaprio had to wear a long coat for much of the shoot. ‘He would, like, fart in it,’ says Cameron, ‘and then sweep the coat over her face. I mean, if anybody else in the world did that, they’d get slapped, and the other person would walk away and not talk to them for a week. With Leo, Kate would just crack up.’
