“Sweetie I really don’t care”: Leonardo DiCaprio’s Harsh Response to Kate Winslet is the Last Thing She Expected on Her Birthday

The tragic love story in James Cameron’s Titanic sits heavy on people’s hearts even after three decades. After all, Rose and Jack’s romance was one of the greatest in cinematic history.

But Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio were far from beloved sweethearts on set. While the two have been close friends ever since their first project together, DiCaprio wasn’t always the paragon of friendship during the shooting.

An October-born Kate Winslet was 20 years old when the filming for Titanic first began back in 1996 and the English actress turned 21 on the set of James Cameron’s blockbuster epic romantic disaster. But she certainly didn’t envisage Leonardo DiCaprio‘s harsh reaction as a part of her birthday celebration.

During her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the ‘Secrets of Titanic’ Special, the Academy Award-winning actress disclosed the cold, clipped conversation she had on her 21st birthday with her Titanic co-star (via YouTube).

Jokes apart, however, Winslet, 48, once mentioned how she “clicked immediately, right away” with DiCaprio, 49 when they joined forces on Titanic, and ever since then, the two have maintained a solid friendship to this very date (via Entertainment Tonight | The Hollywood Reporter).
