Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Titanic” audition process wasn’t smooth sailing, according to director James Cameron.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker participated in a career retrospective video interview for GQ magazine and recalled how DiCaprio originally refused to read for the part of Jack oppositeduring a screen test. Cameron told the young actor: “You’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.”
DiCaprio “charmed everyone” in his first meeting, but the screen test was a bit more contentious. By the time Cameron set up a screen test for DiCaprio, Winslet was already locked in to play the part of Rose. Cameron was ready to turn away DiCaprio right then and there, but the actor came back to him and said, “Wait, wait, wait. If I don’t read, I don’t get the part? Just like that?” Cameron responded, “Oh, yeah. Come on. This is a giant movie that is going to take two years of my life, and you’ll be gone doing five other things while I’m doing post-production. So, I’m not going to fuck it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So, you’re going to read, or you’re not going to get the part.
