this cult phrase from Titanic that he hated and wanted to delete

Take out your tissues! In 1997, director James Cameron made a masterpiece of the seventh art:titanic. This dramatic romance moved the whole world by staging the idyll between Rose (Kate Winslet), a young bourgeois in love with freedom, and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young man justly rich because of his freedom. The cult feature film, which won no less than eleven Oscars and raked in more than $2 billion in worldwide revenue also allowed Leonardo DiCaprio to continue his meteoric rise in the cinematic sphere. Yet whoever celebrates his 48th birthdaythis Friday, November 11, 2022, would have liked to see a scene from this monument of cinema disappear forever…

As reportedMetro.co.Ukit is one of the most emblematic scenes of the titanic where Jack stands at the front of the liner with his best friend Fabrizio, extends both arms and shout out to the horizon and the blue of the ocean”I’m the king of the world”, before counting the dolphins jumping over the waves. A replica that would not have not convinced the former companion of Camila Morrone. “I was in the basket of a crane and we were losing the light, and we had tried this and that, and tried this line and that line, and nothing really worked”, confided James Cameron on the airwaves of BBC Radio 1. And to continue: “I said, ‘Alright, I got one for you, just say I’m king of the world, and spread your arms out, and be in the moment, love it and celebrate it.’” Doubtful, Leonardo DiCaprio finally accepted to shout in this way. “We’re glad he finally took it seriously, because that scene made history, and quite frankly, the movie wouldn’t be the same without it.”, concluded the director.

Leonardo DiCaprio: what Titanic brought him

In a long interview given to Current Woman in 2013, Leonardo DiCaprio returned to the turning point that was titanic in his career : “Let’s face it, movies like Gangs of New York or The Aviator would have struggled to get funded if I hadn’t been in the cast of Titanic. In Hollywood parlance, I’ve become a ‘cash machine’, so as long as it helps for projects that are worth it!” And to add: “The great benefit of Titanic is, basically, to have been able to allow me to become a catalyst for projects. When I shot Titanic with Kate Winslet, we were, so to speak, novices in this profession. Kate and I knew we were doing a big blockbuster. However, we were far from imagining that we would find ourselves propelled overnight to the rank of living icon. What saved us both from madness was that we had an ability to keep our feet on the ground and that we took a lot of distance when addressed as if we were living gods!”
