The two Oscar winners hadn’t seen each other in person since COVID hit, and when they finally did, Kate was a mess. “I couldn’t stop crying,” she confessed to The Guardian. Yeah, we feel that. Now, the pandemic kept them apart, and as Kate put it, it wasn’t like they could just pop over for coffee or dinner. “We’ve missed each other because of Covid,” she said. And for these two, that separation felt like a lifetime, especially considering their decades-long friendship that started when they first filmed Titanic in 1997.
They were babies back then—21 and 22, respectively. Kate remembers it fondly, saying, “I turned 21 on that shoot, and Leo turned 22.” Titanic skyrocketed them both into superstardom and their bond. Unbreakable. Flash forward to 2008, and they teamed up again for Revolutionary Road as a married couple, diving into some seriously intense drama. But through it all, the friendship remained solid.
So, what triggered the waterworks this time? It happened at a special screening of Kate’s new flick Lee, where she starred and produced the film. Enter DiCaprio, stepping up to introduce her. And when Leo gets going, you just know the feels are coming. “Kate Winslet has dedicated herself to the film and to honoring Lee’s legacy over nine years,” Leo gushed, and honestly, who wasn’t choking up at this point?
