He values ​​their relationship, ignoring (or, conversely, teasing) the press with fragments of phrases, ambiguous gifts for her and tender glances...

They are considered the ideal movie couple in Hollywood... And few people believe that their relationship is exclusively friendly...

Kate Elizabeth was born on October 5, 1975 and became the second of four daughters in the family of dramatic actors Roger and Sally Winslet. Actually, it’s difficult to imagine a destiny other than acting for the girl - her maternal grandparents also had their own theater. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that young Kate spent her childhood behind the scenes... And then on the set of commercials and TV series.

During one such project, Kate began an affair... It is noteworthy that the object of the girl’s love - writer Stephen Tredre - was much older than her. They dated for almost four years, and after breaking up they remained good friends and close people.

Success came to her after the release of the drama Peter Jackson, based on real events, Heavenly creatures(1994). Then there were Mind and Feelings(1995), Hamlet(1996) and finally Titanic(1997), which brought her together with Nim...

He...

Leonardo Wilhelm was born on November 11, 1974 in sunny California. His life immediately revolved around Hollywood with its film studios, castings and other agents. Leo's first appearance on screen took place when he was about three years old. And then a series of numerous commercials, TV series and various films rushed.

Leo is the only child in the family and it is not surprising that his mother wanted only the best for him. But the reality was that she had to work several jobs at once to provide everything she needed. And Leo is eternally grateful to her for this.

In parallel with filming, Leo managed to attend John Marshall's school. But in order to decide on your future, young man it doesn’t take much time: already at the age of 14 he was aware that he didn’t see himself as anyone other than an actor.

Gradually he manages to move into a truly big movie with good budget and difficult roles (as well as with all the accompanying paraphernalia - press attention, fans and high-profile romances with such famous women, such as, Helena Christensen).

In principle, Leo was always guided by the principle: “Don’t grab everything you give.” He tried to select roles for himself that he had to work hard on. And when he was offered the role of Jack Dawson in Titanic(1997) he... refused. It seemed to him that there was nothing interesting for him in this character, that he was too simple-minded. James Cameron It took a lot of work to convince Leo to accept the role.

And when he appeared on the set and saw Her, then the question of the possibility of abandoning filming disappeared by itself...

They...

Both later admit that as soon as their eyes met, they realized that they had found each other. No, it wasn't about Great love or whirlwind romance, although everyone around them perceived them precisely as a nascent couple.

They were constantly together - even between filming: their endless chatter could be heard in the trailer, they kept making fun of each other, measuring their feet (they both turned out to have the same foot size, which amused Leo very much), rehearsing scenes, discussing everything in the world, not afraid to spill out emotions on each other, all the most intimate, disturbing things, or just cry into your vest without being ashamed of tears.

During filming Titanic(1997) they became so close that each seemed to know the other better than he did. " I remember Leo came in so tired that when the administrator asked what sandwich to bring him, he could only answer “Ask Kate” and fell asleep, - Kate recalled in an interview. - And then I suddenly realized that I really knew what he wanted: a lot of cheese, no tomatoes or pickles. I was very surprised by this fact then... Before filming, I was a little afraid of meeting him. If only he were already a star he's all so luxurious. And I was afraid that he would think that I was too Shakespearean actress, or too English. But as soon as we saw each other, all the jitters went away..."

By the time of the premiere, Leo had already become known as a heartthrob, and, having learned about his close relationship with Kate, the paparazzi immediately started a hunt for the couple (especially since there were reasons to tease the representatives " yellow press"The actors gave plenty).

In addition, the actors now and then publicly confessed their love to each other... But with the amendment that they are only friends. Although fans still seem to be turning a deaf ear to this addition. For them they are perfect couple. And none of Kate’s husbands (during this time the actress had three of them), nor her children, nor the endless models and supermodels in Leo’s company are able to influence the situation.

"Kate was my best friend for almost 7 months, while Titanic was being filmed, - Leo confessed. - And it remains so to this day. I know I can always rely on her. I admire her faith in marriage and her ability to find the strength to start over.".

Kate Winslet on her failed romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, her injury on the set of The Mountain Between Us and a friend

Kate Winslet was a guest morning show Lorraine as part of the promotional campaign for the new film with her participation, “The Mountains Between Us,” but during the interview the actress had to remember her old projects. The film Titanic was released in 1997, but fans are still interested in whether Kate and her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio had an affair, because they looked so convincing on screen. The actors have repeatedly emphasized that they are connected only by friendly relations, but fans did not give up hope and waited for a sincere confession. In the program, Kate spoke on this topic.

Leo and I worked incredibly hard for 7 months. We were both very young. Luckily, we were never in love with each other or tried to flirt! I understand that these words will upset everyone. But sorry, we really never met. But it was thanks to this that we were able to become great friends, this is very valuable!

Kate also said that the army of Titanic fans already includes not only her children, but also their friends. When they come to visit the actress, they often compliment her and remember their favorite moments.

I can believe that Titanic came out 20 years ago because I haven't been able to forget about it all this time. Now the most pleasant thing for me is that my children and their friends like the film. They tell me: “Oh-oh-oh, my favorite moment is when you...”, and then they say some phrase of my heroine, but I don’t remember it. I say, "Oh God, am I really saying that there?" And they're like, "Yeah, and then Jack does this, and Rose does this..." I usually tell them, "You weren't even alive when this movie was made. You make me feel really old!" It is interesting to know that new generations are also watching this film and loving it. I like to think it's a bit like Mary Poppins.

For her role in Titanic, Kate Winslet was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actress category, but in the end the winner was Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets). After that, Kate was nominated three more times, but she received the coveted statuette only in 2009 for her role in the film “The Reader.” In a new interview, the actress recalled the time when she only dreamed of an Oscar and rehearsed her acceptance speech in front of the mirror in the toilet with a statuette of Emma Thompson, while visiting her.

I remember the moment - then I was much younger, I came to visit Emma Thompson. I didn’t have an Oscar yet, but she did. He was standing in the restroom, without hesitation I grabbed him, went to the mirror and began: “I would like to say “thank you” to mom and dad...” And many years later I was able to do it for real and for a long time I couldn’t do it believe. I held the figurine in my hands, looked at it and realized that what I had dreamed about had come true. Never stop believing in your dreams! Mine had the least chance of coming true.

Kate admits that now she herself lets her friends “play” with the figurine and give a speech.

Of course, everyone who comes to my house wants to hold her. Everyone starts coming up with funny speeches like "I want to thank my riding instructor and my sister for stealing my comb...".

Coming out this week new job featuring Kate Winslet and Idris Elba - "The Mountain Between Us." According to the actress, filming the film was quite difficult and she still has to deal with unpleasant consequences.

I developed arthritis while filming thumb on my leg, which really annoys me since I'm a pretty active person. According to the script, my character Alex received many injuries in a helicopter crash, and her leg was damaged the most, so I had to limp throughout the entire filming. I put all my weight on right leg and limped throughout shooting day, as a result of this, arthritis developed. Now I have to, for example, do yoga in sneakers. People look at me like I'm crazy, but what can I do? I try not to pay attention.
