Tomorrow, perhaps, She will call him and in a conversation casually mention that in the piggy bank of the premiere of the film with her participation - Divergent(2014) - will be one more: in Russia, the picture starts at the box office on April 10 ....

He appreciates their relationship, ignoring (or, conversely, teasing) the press with snippets of phrases, ambiguous gifts for her and tender looks ...

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

She...

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 is difficult to imagine for a girl a different fate, except for acting, it is difficult - even her maternal grandfather and grandmother had their own theater. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the childhood of young Kate passed behind the scenes ... And then on the set of commercials and TV shows.

During one such project, Kate had an affair ... It is noteworthy that the object of the girl's love - the writer Stephen Tredr - was much older than her. They met for almost four years, and after parting, 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), who introduced her to Nimes...

He...

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

Leo is the only child in the family and it is not surprising that his mother only wanted 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 that.

In parallel with the filming, Leo managed to attend John Marshall's school. But in order to determine your future, young man it does not take much time: already at the age of 14 he was aware that he did not see himself as anyone but an actor.

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

In principle, Leo has always been guided by the principle: "Not to miss everything that they give." He tried to select for himself the roles on which he had to seriously work. 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. James Cameron had to work hard to convince Leo to accept the role.

And when he appeared on the set and saw Her, then the question of the possibility of refusing to shoot disappeared by itself ...

They...

Both later confess 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 was heard in the trailer, they kept making fun of each other, measuring feet (both turned out to be the same foot size, which Leo was very amused), rehearsing scenes, discussing everything in the world, not afraid to throw out emotions at each other, all the most intimate, disturbing, or just cry into a vest, not 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 asked by the administrator what kind of sandwich to bring him, he could only answer "Ask Kate" and collapsed to sleep, - Kate recalled in an interview. - And then I suddenly realized for myself that I really know what he wants: to have a lot of cheese, no tomatoes and pickles. I was then very surprised by this fact ... Before filming, I was a little afraid of meeting him. If only he was already a star all so luxurious. And I was afraid that he would decide that I was too Shakespearean actress, or too English. But as soon as we saw each other, all the jitters passed ..."

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 hunted for a couple (especially since there were reasons to tease 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 missing out on this addition. For them they are perfect couple. And neither 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 filming Titanic Leo confessed. - And they remain to this day. I know that I can always rely on her. I admire her faith in marriage and her ability to find the strength to start over.".

Just friends

Kate Winslet about the failed romance with Leonardo DiCaprio, the injury on the set of the film "The Mountains Between Us" and another

Kate Winslet is 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 recall old projects. The film Titanic was released in 1997, but fans are still wondering if Kate and her partner on the set, Leonardo DiCaprio, had an affair, because they looked so convincing on the screen. The actors have repeatedly emphasized that they are connected only by friendly relations, but the fans did not give up hope and waited for a sincere recognition. In the program, Kate spoke on this topic.

Leo and I worked incredibly hard for 7 months. We were both very young. Fortunately, we were never in love with each other and did not try to flirt! I understand that these words will upset everyone. But sorry, we've never really met. But it is thanks to this that we were able to become great friends, this is very valuable!

Kate also revealed 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" was released 20 years ago, because all this time I have not been allowed to forget about it. Now the most pleasant thing for me is that my children and their friends like the film. They tell me: "Oh-oh-oh, most of all I like the moment 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?" And they're like, "Yeah, and then Jack does this and Rose does this..." I usually tell them, "You weren't even around when this movie was made. You make me feel really old!" It is interesting to realize that new generations also watch this film and they like it. I like to think it's something like Mary Poppins.

For her role in "Titanic" Kate Winslet was awarded an Oscar nomination in the category "Best Actress", 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 a mirror in the bathroom 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 haven't had 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 after many years I was able to do it for real and for a long time I could not do it believe. I held the figurine in my hands, looked at it and understood that what I had dreamed of had come true. Never stop believing in your dreams! Mine had the least chance of exercising.

Kate admits that now she herself allows her friends to "play" with the figurine and make 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 sister for stealing my comb...".

Coming out this week new job with the participation of Kate Winslet and Idris Elba - "The Mountains Between Us". According to the actress, the shooting of the picture was quite difficult and she still has to deal with unpleasant consequences.

During filming, I developed arthritis. thumb on my leg, which really annoys me, since I'm quite an active person. My character Alex, in the script, got a lot of injuries in a helicopter crash, and her leg was the most damaged, so I had to limp throughout the filming. I carried all my weight on right leg and limped throughout shooting day As a result, arthritis developed. Now I have to, for example, do yoga in sneakers. People look at me like I'm crazy, but what can you do. I try not to pay attention.
