It’s been over two decades since the blockbuster “Titanic” was on the big screen, but the film remains one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s most iconic roles. In this week’s “The Vault” podcast, the actor told Access Hollywood in a 1997 interview for “Titanic” why he was hesitant at first to play the role of Jack Dawson opposite Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater.

i could listen to him talking for hours

for centuries*
He always looks so exhausted when he's not in movies.
Probably because he was
@@jackandrosetitanicforever5116 yuh
It’s all the press tours
Xanax
Mayby its his real personnality
Watching him grow up, it saddens me that so many people criticize him often. I don't understand why. He's obviously someone who loves acting for the art, not for the special effects.
Fr same here
It’s because he actually believes in global warming like a smart person should
He’s nearly 50 he’s now dating a 17-year-old that he’s known since she was a baby that he watched grow up
@@ATX-js1to come on now if you’re a smart person you would know that it’s no longer called global warming, as it was pointed out that the planet is actually cooling, they’ve change the name now to climate change, It’s a fear based control program no different to war terrorism and mass shootings
@@victoriaarcturus203 it’s not that deep
You can see from his words how much this guy was mature and gentleman at the age of 22.
22? I though he was younger like 17.damn
i was a disaster at this age, had a huge crush on him then , still do now.
DiCaprio had obvious "media" training from his agency or management. Looking at earlier interviews. Not that there is a problem with it, but important to share.
Its just that righteous Scorpio shell. Theyre a private mess inside lol
@@rsmith8434he doesn’t act 17 though. He was very mature for his age. At 22 most people are immature idiots!
God damn. I really think young Leo might be the most attractive man I have ever seen.
and ppl wanna obsess over channing tatum- ngl i don't blame them but leo is-
johnny depp brad pitt leonardo dicaprio who has more good looking face??
@@haroonkapoor8233 bro thats hard, johnny and leo look cute young but ima have to go with leo
@@angelcakkes366 ok so johnny depp brad pitt leonardo dicaprio all 3 are good looking?
@@haroonkapoor8233 i haven't seen brad pitt and if i have i didn't know it was him
Young Leo and older Leo is still a gorgeous man ... my top Hollywood crush
He’ll always be sexy!
@@brittweasley7184 text me directly on Hangout application to my mail above 👆
My crush is Robert Downey Jr. since the 1980's.
The Italian in him!
He seems so natural and so down to earth. No wonder why he portrayed Jack so well.
Over all the people who auditioned to play Jack they picked perfectly when they went with Leo. I couldn't see any of those actors that were either offered or sought auditions. I watched a couple auditions and they gave off completely different versions of Jack's character. This movie needed Leo's brightness. I like the way he describes his character in this video. He was just so purely perfect. Its why it hurts so bad at the end. He should have won an Oscar for this movie. This movie is still one of the top best movies ever made. It deserved everything.
Who were the other actors??
@@knownpleasures River Phoenix was originally for this role. But he died.
@@knownpleasures I know Michael J Fox was one of them
Matthew McConaughey
Johnny Depp
This man is so well spoken
When I read “Leo almost passed on the titanic” when i heard that I thought it meant he almost died 😖🤚
Same😔
Same here😔
Same
they should have said "almost turned down", but clickbait
Same 🙈
I could stare at him all day
There are so many goodlooking actors, but there's something different about Leo, he is a kind of man who makes you want to stare at him at least once again when you see him, well.... staring again and again I think🤔
Poor guy was obviously so exhausted here, but fulfilling his professional obligations on a relentless press tour.
You can really see how tired he is. He does a great job answering these repetative questions.
he nailed playing jack. him saying about how jack had no demons and it was difficult to play him as normally leo’s roles are filled with emotional backstory, i truly got that sense from his character. to me jack was like that one piece of hope in roses life that appeared for a short duration of time and helped her find happiness, but he was then taken away once she found that happiness. jack was a truly good-hearted person with no bad quality about him and leo played that exceptionally considering about what i just wrote above. it's almost as if he was an angel sent from above lmao
yes! I remember the first time I watched it, and this whole thing was niggling at me. This feeling that Jack wasn't a real person, but almost an hallucination. The movie acts like he's real and gives you no practical or logical indication otherwise, especially in the beggining. But at the end, when he's trapped down in that room and the water floods in, he seems unaffected by the sinking and keeps joking, "the waters freezing!" and later, "you wanna walk a little quicker through that valley of death there", and even though he's practically focused on escaping the sinking ship and getting out of the water, there's this subtle feeling that he's just trying to save Rose. He doesn't behave in the expected manner of a person escaping a trapped ship, he never expresses worry, fear, panick or a desire to live in the way everyone else, and especially Rose, does. He acts like he's an angel on a mission, and once Rose is on the board somehow it's like he knew that this was the place he was trying to get to the whole time, and that he was never going to make it out alive, and all of the saving was just for her, not for him.
@@randomfornow exactly!!
@@randomfornowTHIS. there’s a whole scene right after he tries to get on the board and it tips where he realized he can’t get on too. he smiles as if he realized like “I did it. She’s gonna be okay.”
She said in the movie, "he saved me in every way that a person can be saved." Love that line.
From his earliest days he was so effortlessly confident
For him to say that playing jack was difficult he sure played that roll so natural
I don't know how I got here but listening to this young Leonardo you can tell this young man was a legend in the making, what a nice, honest guy. Kudos to you.
What a class act actor Leo and actress Kate are. They were perfect playing Jack and Rose in Titanic. James Cameron did a great job also.
Such a pro. He is clearly exhausted here but still brining humility and charm ♥️
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you'll. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving.❤️💗🥂
This is undeniable evidence that Leonardo DiCaprio is a wimp. "He is clearly exhausted here"
@@DrIdaho tell us you’re hater without saying you’re a straight hater 😅
@@love_reka_777 Leonardo DiCaprio is a wimp.
@@DrIdaho Lmfao what. He's just a human being with needs and he still stayed through the interview even though he must have been really tired, he has a lot of strength
He's so hot.

Who would have guessed years and years after the filming of the "Titanic" both Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet would still be partners in friendship.
I don't think that they've seen each other in years
@@miho3719 They hadn't seen each other in person in almost three years because of the pandemic but they met up again late last year.
Let’s not forget they also co-starred in Revolutionary Road. Another great film!
@@francescacastiglione7094That movie actually wound up making you glad Jack died in Titantic! Please don't marry lol
This is the greatest movie of all time .. leo & Kate will forever hold a pact between them no matter what this movie is legendary & I’m sure they reminisce about them good days with a glass of wine 🍷
He's so sweet & humble here.
2003 and still Titanic is still buzzing!! Love this movie Leo and Kate | Jack and Rose 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 forever ❤️
Young Leo was definitely something to behold. I remember Leo-mania.. it was crazy and I completely understand it
What's leo mania?
@@RS-bb1bq it's happened after the titanic, it's like the whole world's women going crazy about him, thousands of fans crowded & waiting to see him for hours.
@@bluepetals7384 wow. Totally understand why. He was way too good looking
True... you can see posters of him everywhere. But at that point he kind of took a long rest before making another film. When he came back he had pool of masterpiece film that Oscars ignored him again and again. His role in Aviator was superb as well. I cant remember one bad movie of Leo starting from Whats Eating Gilbert Grape.
I was OBSESSED with him. Unhealthily obsessed in the 90s and early 2000s
Everything about him is dreamy.
The most beautiful aspect of Leonardo is his modesty & humility; not a trace of arrogance or hauteur.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN ON EARTH!!
I need his reaction while watching the entire film
I can listen to him speak all day long
Little did he knew this movie would make him and Kate the planets biggest stars🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Leo had his whole life fully planned in such a young age. I think that's how successful people do. Now he has become the actor he wanted to be and well established in his career. Simply he is a legend now..
Such an articulate classy beautiful young man!
I loved them both..Leo and Kate as ...Jack and Rose. I watched the titanic movie and i cried at the last part as jack drawning while Rose shouting..."come back jack.".
My very first movie star crush. The first thing I ever saw Leo in as a child was actually the movie that he did with. Mark Wahlberg called the basketball diaries where he portrays a teenaged heroin addict Who tries to get his life together. I believe that picture is based on a true story as well. I remember seeing this for the first time in the movie theater with my sister and my mom and dad. And I remember just bawling my eyes out. When he dies in the Titanic. I was so upset by it that my mom actually let me stay home from school that following monday. I just can't believe that he is now in his 50s! And i Haven't really seen him in much of anything lately.
his voice is so soothing to listen to
I am IMMENSLY grateful to have found a 17 min interview w leo SERIOUSY THANK U Edit: question tho, the interviewer's rlly good but she like giggles every sentence lmao
I love him omg
imagine looking this perfect
@jumpjack714117 😌
I love Kate & Leo chemistry in the movie. Also their friendship reminds me of Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry's friendship who play Brenda and Dylan on Beverly Hills 90210. They had so much great chemistry that people assume they dated for real but they're just close friends.
chemistry.?. i never thought they looked like a couple, even on the film. Although she was younger her energy was more mature sensible. He kinda represented the beauty of youth Whilst both brilliant actors.. She was perfect for role of Rose. He was perfect for Jack. .
I’ve seen Kate’s first titanic reading with another actor and this movie would be nothing without Leo. Even Kate was endlessly better at acting with Leo. They together made the film
Yeah, I saw that too. Jeremy Sisto, who played Elton in Clueless. It was very stilted and they didn’t have chemistry.
his voice is so soothing I cant-
Kate and Leo forever
I’m so glad he didn’t pass on titanic… It Would not be the same without Leo and Kate!!
Literally such a heart throb
It seems he is living truthfully that’s why he is confident and at ease.
How does anyone carry on a conversation with a face that perfect 😅
So sad how most of the comments are on just his appearance
i don’t know if i am physically able to do this. he’s literally indescribable
What does that means
his face while talking : :/ his face while talking about kate : :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
his voice is so soothing and calming although he doesnt seem too happy mostly seem sad or tired but idk
Leo needs to get kids, his genes 😍😍😍
Tho they could become tiktok predators.
No these Hollywood models might give his kid STDs
@@Alex-sc2mr why would u say that..
@@bigorangebellywash4285 Society
So in love... Ugh ❤️ Can listen & stare at him for hours lol 😁
I love how he just make face at 9:19, he's sooo cute..
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you'll. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving.❤️🥂💗
His voice is soooo❤
Still an extraordinary actor. Gilbert’s Grape was my first movie to see him in.
I keep drewlling over this man but then also remind myself of that year 1997 ...I was born in 1997...
Era tan bello de jóven,no hay actualmente un actor tan talentoso como él ya lo era a esa edad.
I think it's awesome how much he has achieved,who would have thought since he started on growing pains.
Leo's been so successful for so long, he's got the world in his palms pretty much in the cinema.
An enormously talented actor.
I fell asleep his voice is so calming
Same… the ultimate ASMR
Leonardo is so completely captivating whether it is as a cute teenager or a very sophisticated man. I cannot wait to see him in his next undertaking. HE IS BRILLIANT. Maybe as a KING in a historical drama, going from bad to a redeeming good, or as a President fighting socialism and communism. He is an enormously talented actor, seems like a great person.
He is an amazing actor love him and his work
My favorite Jack line from titanic is I'm the king of the world
O Leo is so handsome great personality
What he said about playing a guy with no demons a pure guy was surprised hard rings true. The actress who plays Callisto in Xena said she had a hard time playing an angel because the angel character was so pure she did not know how to play it.
I wish Leonardo and Kate dated IRL after filming the titanic, they would of been the worlds favorite couple
Best actor in the world ❤❤👍👍 I am your fan jack sir
he’s such a good actor
Leo is great! Love him in Catch Me If You Can, The Revenant and Shutter Island.
He’s so gorgeous 😍😘❤️
Hello Leo DiCaprio you're so great and charming.
The young Leo was such a beautiful man.sad that time goes by.. but still love him
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you'll. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving.❤️🥂💗
LeonardoDiCaprio Official Shut the hell up.
I kinda wonder who young Leo would react to the Leo he is now. He's changed a lot some in good ways and some in bad ways he used to be really different.
Wow I love his voice, he's so soft spoken 😍😍😍
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you'll. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving.💗🥂❤️
Leo here reminding so much of Matt Damon!
for the longest time I always thought leo played the protagonist in the talented mr. Ripley since they looked so familiar! i couldn't believe it when i actually went to check and saw it was matt damon 🤣
@@pamelaiayeees!! He does look like Matt Damon 😊
I listen to him for hours and hours
This guy is just so fine 🥰
Still, my absolute favorite film that showed his tremendous range of talent is The Basketball Diaries! That one put him on several movie maker radars!
So intelligent and thoughful.
Leo is a fine actor. after Wolf on Wall Street I thought he would get an Oscar one day which he did for The Revenant.
❤ watching leos/kate & videos /interviews
I am so impressed with this interviewer!! She’s great
Interesting, I thought she wasn't very good.
@@josephinakeam6197 me too, in fact I find most interviewers not up to the mark
I agree. She asked a lot of interesting open-ended questions
I’ve always been fascinated with Leo ever since i’ve watched him in titanic movie as a child and now that i’m an adult the way he’s so eloquent in every interviews and the way he views life in general makes me admire him to this day and let’s not forget how brilliant of an actor he is
He's very reserved and seems introverted.
Cut the tape...and let the man blow his nose ..is so uncomfortable
Lol ikr!? He actually looks like he's sick or just didn't really sleep the night before lol dsnt seem lk he's too happy to be there.
He got a cold, must be all the time he was running around in the cold water on the set of Titanic. Kate Winslet actually said the water was really cold.
That's how you react when life is boring and lame
Titanic to her voices as darling is mine the Leonardo DiCaprio even this is Kate Winslet on act, Love you Guy.
Love this interview and having the time to watch and hear him..but how many times did he say "you know"??!😶
Bloody beautiful man
I love you Leo!!
i loved him when he was young
I love Leo DiCaprio, who is my favourite actress
I think this kid is going to be a great actor in the future 👌
😂😂
Mi tipo de hombre 😍
This guyyyyyy
He did really good playing Howard Hughes
He is incredible man and of my favorite top Hollywood actor 💝💖😊
Thanks for your love and support. I'm blown away by the love from you'll. Fans like you are the reason we keep moving.❤️🥂💗
