Kate Winslet about 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 the 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 category "Best female role", but in the end Helen Hunt (“As Good As It Gets”) became the winner. 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 when she was just dreaming of an Oscar and rehearsing 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.

Kate Winslet and Idris Elba in The Mountain Between Us

At the end of August, Leonardo's villa in Saint-Tropez seemed to turn into a film set for the sequel to the film Titanic. Only Leo and his partner Kate Winslet had less clothes on, it was tropical heat, and the heated water in the pool did not threaten them with any trouble. 41-year-old Kate arrived in France to participate in a charity evening for the Leonardo Environmental Foundation. The 42-year-old gentleman gallantly invited her to share his shelter, table and side of the pool. The half-naked couple sunbathed, fooled around, and hugged to the delight of the paparazzi. However, two circumstances prevent us from believing that the “romance of the century” is unfolding before our eyes with a twenty-year delay: Kate is married, and Leo has just shown the public new lover– 23-year-old German model Lorena Rae.

Girl from the North

Lorena joined Leonardo's retinue in May, shortly after his split from Nina Agdal. The actor had been dating the Danish model since May 2016 and seemed very interested, but then the inexorable time intervened. Nina turned 25 years old - the age at which Leo begins to regard his girlfriends as ancient old ladies, give them a seat in transport and transfer them across the road somewhere away from him.

Having ended the relationship, Leonardo usually announces an open casting. This spring, he gathered a cheerful flock of models on his yacht off the coast of Monaco. Among them was Lorena, but the reporters didn't even bother to identify her. Based on Leo's experience of observing his predilections, the dark-haired girl is almost certainly an outsider, brought on board to set off the blondes.

However, in July, Lorena received an offer to join another sea voyage - this time near Saint-Tropez. And in August, Leo took her on a traditional bike ride around New York. This has long been a rite of passage, because a girl who cannot ride a bicycle has no business being around an actor, no matter how beautiful she may be in all other respects. True, Lorena made a mistake. Getting ready for a walk, she dressed for Leonardo, but she should have dressed for the bicycle. But the girl somehow coped with the difficulties of pedaling in a little black dress. The next meeting already resembled a real date: first, the potential lovers went to an exhibition contemporary art, and then had lunch at a restaurant on Fifth Avenue.

“They were very affectionate with each other,” eyewitnesses reported.

Of course, this caused a surge of interest in the life and work of the young German model. Lorena comes from Diepholz in Lower Saxony. She achieved success in her homeland, working with the labels s.Oliver, Thomas Sabo, Hugo Boss. I met with Oliver Huising, a football player from a third league club. Deciding to try her luck in America, Lorena was forced to change real name Rap because in English language this word means "rape". If Leonardo really became interested in her, we can assume that Lorena’s luck smiled.

Natural attraction

Kate Winslet, for her part, remains Leonardo's girlfriend longer than all of his models combined. “Leo has deep feelings for her from the first meeting on the set of Titanic,” say the actor’s friends. - Then he called her herself beautiful woman which he had seen. This state of affairs continues to this day. Ask Leo which actress was his favorite to kiss on camera, and he will answer: “Kate Winslet.” With none of his passions did he have such emotional and intellectual intimacy as with Kate.”

Leo and Kate are constantly in touch. When she was filming the drama “The Mountain Between Us,” she kept sending a friend a photo of her face bitten by the cold and received dozens of frightened emojis in response. Meanwhile, her husband Ned Rocknroll worked as an errand boy, carrying warm blankets and a thermos of tea for his wife. Leonardo is ready to confirm that Kate occupies a special place in his life.

“There was always a natural attraction between us,” he says. – We are getting older, wiser, but fundamentally we remain the same as we were 20 years ago. We are excited and amused by the same things. Kate doesn't allow me to be arrogant and "give" great artist, even when I want it.”

The actors have been friends for more than twenty years and say that there is nothing between them but friendship, but is this true?

The film was released in 1997 James Cameron"Titanic" where DiCaprio And Kate Winslet played a short one, but bright story love. It looked so convincing that the audience immediately connected the actors into a real couple. And although both he and she always swear to each other exclusively in tender friendship, the people have not calmed down yet. The 2001 film, which was called “Kate and Leo,” also gave its “trump cards” to the gossipers. And although the leading actors in “Titanic” do not play there, and the plot is comedic, how can they in Hollywood, where everything is calculated down to the smallest detail, call a film just like that, without pushing the viewer to certain conjectures? Let's try to figure it out.

Oscar-winning star

British actress Kate Winslet was born on October 5, forty-two years ago. She holds the Guinness Book of World Records as the only three-time Oscar-nominated actress in the Best Actress category and twice in the Best Supporting Actress category who was under thirty years of age. Kate received the coveted statuette in 2010 for the film “The Reader.”

In addition to nominations, Winslet can boast of not so much short list husbands. From 1998 to 2011 she was married to the director Jim Threapleton. A daughter was born in this marriage Mia. Then she walked down the aisle with his colleague Sam Mendes to whom she gave a boy Joe Alfie. Seven years later, the couple divorced.

In 2012, Kate again tied the knot with a millionaire Ned Rocknroll. A year later their first child was born Bear Blaze.

Today, the couple's relationship is bursting at the seams. They say Kate has filed for divorce. And in August she was spotted at the villa Leonardo DiCaprio in St. Tropez, who invited her to visit him to “unwind.” Or perhaps there is something more behind this.

Paparazzi recorded Kate and Leo gently communicating and smiling at each other. Insiders say: finally, those who were considered old friends are meeting secretly, and they are connected precisely love relationship. There is no smoke without fire. Either Leo or Kate constantly throw firewood into the fire of gossip, exciting all of Hollywood and their fans.

Meeting place can not be Changed

DiCaprio and Winslet met in 1996 on the set of the Oscar-winning Titanic, which for more than a decade was considered the highest-grossing film in cinema history.

Kate and Leo did not separate for seven months. He warmed her up in a hot jacuzzi - after filming in the icy water of the “ocean”. When Winslet learned that they would have a scene in which she would have to be naked, she made a radical decision, despite the fact that she knew DiCaprio at all: she simply opened her cloak and revealed everything that was hidden. Thus, both avoided awkward situations.

They grew closer and closer, and there were no secrets left between them by the end of filming. And love arose? Kate denied everything. In the interview she said that there was no talk of any romantic feelings. They were supposed to fall in love with each other like their heroes, but that never happened.

According to the actress, her partner perceived her as a “boy.” And she “was never a girl for him in the full sense of the word.” However, later she sadly joked that her heroine could have saved Jack Dawson from dying in the cold ocean: “I think he could fit on that piece of door.”

Feelings undercover

Years passed: Kate changed husbands. By the way, her beloved friend accompanied her down the aisle with her third husband. And Leo charmed and abandoned numerous blonde models. But the actors themselves did not betray their friendship, and who knows what happened behind closed doors.

11 years after the Titanic, friends could not have been closer to meeting again on film set film "Revolutionary Road". The actors played married couple who is experiencing a crisis in her relationship. Kate immediately admitted in an interview that she didn’t even realize how much the mutual “chemistry” had remained since their first film.

She was shy sex scenes and, perhaps, not only because her husband Sam Mendes was behind the camera at that time, and she repeated to herself that Leo was her best friend, and there’s a husband standing there.

The most interesting thing is that after filming DiCaprio gave Winslet Golden ring with engraving. Kate still keeps the inscription in her big secret. Gratitude for a long friendship or a declaration of love? And there were so many public confessions that not everyone regarded as a joke.

At the 2009 Golden Globe Awards, Kate publicly stated, “Leo is the love of my life.” Perhaps only now their friendship has grown into the most true love. And with such baggage, Kate and Leo are much easier to build a wonderful future together as husband and wife.
