In a new video interview with GQ, the iconic director revealed that he almost didn't end up casting Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet -- his two romantic leads whose careers as major Hollywood movie stars were cemented by the landmark Oscar-winning film.
While considering actors to play the roles of his star-crossed lovers on the doomed ocean liner, Cameron explained that he was initially thinking of someone like Gwyneth Paltrow for Rose, and that while Winslet had been proposed as an option, he was afraid she was too much of a typecast,"I actually didn't see Kate at first," he said in the video.
But when the "Romeo + Juliet" star came in, he was surprised to learn he'd have to read lines and be filmed alongside Winslet to gauge their chemistry on camera.He remembered telling the pair, "We'll just run some lines, and I'll video it." Without missing a beat, Cameron extended his hand to the star and and told him, "Well, thanks for coming by."
