Leonardo DiCaprio nearly made a titanic mistake.
Director James Cameron in a new video interview with GQ shared how the then-21-year-old actor nearly lost the role of Jack Dawson in 1997′s “Titanic,” the part that skyrocketed him to international fame.
After having “charmed everybody” during his initial meeting with Cameron — and “all the women in our entire office,” the director recalled — DiCaprio was asked to come in for a screen test opposite Kate Winslet, who co-starred as Rose DeWitt Bukater.
