In a candid and revealing conversation, involving the global stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the final episode of the series "Actors Talking with Actors," the duo revealed rare personal and professional sides, and exchanged bold opinions on acting, fame, and their most famous films.
During the conversation, Leonardo DiCaprio surprised the audience by admitting that he hasn't watched his most famous film Titanic in many years, explaining that he usually does not watch his films after finishing them.
DiCaprio candidly said "I actually don't watch my films," which astonished Jennifer Lawrence who spontaneously commented: If I had been in a film like Titanic, I would watch it all the time.
Lawrence expressed her great admiration for DiCaprio's performance in his latest film "Battle After Battle" by director Paul Thomas Anderson, considering it one of his best roles ever, praising the depth and authenticity of the character, and also lauded his portrayal as a father in the film, emphasizing how touching and close to human emotions it was.
DiCaprio explained that the film represents a long-term project for the director, written over the course of 15 to 20 years, and deals with the concept of "a revolutionary worn out by time," in a clear reflection on contemporary political and social realities.
DiCaprio touched on his artistic philosophy, noting that he rarely re-watches his works, with the exception of the film "The Aviator," which he considered a pivotal point in his professional career, especially due to the extensive study required for the character of Howard Hughes, and for his collaboration with director Martin Scorsese.
The conversation also returned to the film "Titanic," which was a major turning point in DiCaprio's international career, where he previously mentioned that the success of the film exceeded all expectations, confirming that it forced him to rethink his artistic choices and return to his first love of true acting, away from the pressures of fame.
