“Kate, my dear friend. Your work in this film has been nothing short of transformative,” DiCaprio said in a video shared on X.
“I continue to be awestruck,” he added. “I continue to admire your strength, your integrity, your talent, and your passion to every single project that you create. Without further ado, one of the great talents of my generation: the one and only Kate Winslet.”
Amidst the cheering crowd, Winslet stepped onto the stage and shared a kiss on the lips with DiCaprio, followed by a heartfelt embrace.
DiCaprio, who allegedly tries to avoid kissing anyone over 25, likely washed his mouth out immediately following the event, hoping the crone’s salvia didn’t taint his cherubic lips.
The duo posed for a photograph in front of a poster for Winslet’s new film. Kate donned a sleek black blazer paired with a matching top, while Leo opted for a navy blue blazer complemented by a black shirt.
In Lee, Winslet portrays WWII journalist Lee Miller in a biopic directed by Ellen Kuras. The film, which took eight years to complete, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The ensemble cast features Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Josh O’Connor, and Alexander Skarsgard.
‘Titanic’ Catapulted DiCaprio and Winslet to International Stardom Nearly Three Decades Ago
Since Titanic premiered 27 years ago, Winslet and DiCaprio have maintained a lasting friendship.
In the 1997 classic, DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star as Jack and Rose, members of different social classes who fall in love amidst the ship’s doomed maiden voyage.
Of course, the film concludes with Rose allowing Jack to freeze to death while she awaits rescue atop a large door that could easily accommodate two or be used in shifts.
Then, as an old woman looking back, Rose revels in the one-day-long romance she had with Jack, all but ignoring any other loves or children, grandchildren, etc she had in the decades since.
In her death throes, she even fantasizes about reuniting with Jack.
For some reason, this story of death and dangerous nostalgia is seen as a timeless romance. Titanic went on to win 11 Academy Awards, grossing over 2 billion dollars worldwide, and catapulted DiCaprio and Winslet to international stardom.
