James Cameron Talks Leo DiCaprio's "Negative" Attitude | E! News

I bet James' tough love and brutal honesty is why Leo is reportedly great to work with today.

[Smallweeny]

Leo walking in like he already has the part
Cameron: prove it!
Leo: do I really have to?
Cameron: yeah, you do
*Leo proves it*

[Smallweeny]

James: damn, I hate it, but he's our guy. Sign him up

I remember I was 17 years old when this movie came out and omg, I was so obsessed with Titanic and all the whoopla around it, I was so enthralled in it for at least one year straight. I feel in LOVE with Dicaprio. I remember I used to scan all the late night talk shows like Jay Leno, David Letterman, Connan O'Brian EVERY NIGHT and even during the day on other shows, just WAITING for an interview of Leo. WAITING. I would see almost the whole cast being interviewed at one time or another BUT HIM. After like six months at least, I started to give up. He NEVER did ONE interview for the movie Titanic. Can y'all believe that? A few years later or so, it was said he did not want to be attached to that movie because he was afraid it would pigeon hold him for the rest of his career. So I put two and two together after that. It turns out he did make the right choice though. His career really flourished after Titanic. If he would have played into the PR machine for Titanic, he probably wouldn't have moved passed that movie and became a one hit wonder sorta speak.

This just shows that talent beats attitude. You can easily find a good actor but not a great one.

I don’t need James Cameron to tell me that leornado hated the titanic. Every interview shows that

The days of 1996 seems like it was 500 years ago. Those days are long gone.

[KP-zbtr]

If James Cameron were talking about an actress, people would be crucifying her in the comments for being a diva. But since Leo is a man, they’re giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Two life path seven egos at battle created something beautiful 🥳

[Homeschoolsw]

No. Show Cameron saying " We'll, thanks for coming by. " The way he say it is what's funny about the whole story.

Temperamental Hollywood types difficult to handle? No wonder Cameron enjoys being a few hundred meters under the Atlantic in his off time

[Leah_F.]

He seems like a depressed person, imo. I have severe depression, so I know what it looks like. I just hope he gets help. Money definitely doesn’t make us happy, & we don’t need another Robin Williams happening again. 🙏

[patientmental]

Cameron has quite the attitude himself

[MilaMila]

These days Leo's life is just completely sad. He is 48 years old. Still immature & a hypocrite. He let Hollywood go through his head.

His fans are coming for this vid in 3...2...1....

[adityadas]

Man this is so out of context. I have watched the full GQ interview and that was in a completely different tone than what these ppl are trying to convey here.

[DavidMakweti]

Damn, who would have guessed it. Bts can really tell their own stories.

[excitingtimes-hhbu]

It could of been the DiCaprio was having a bad we or day. We never No what others are going through give him a break. Why is this being brought up now?

[laurenschenck]

Love Leo DiCaprio he was young just bored and that is all 😊

[Hexadecimal_QueenofChaos]

The movies he made before Titanic were crap with the exception of Basketball Diaries and perhaps Gilbert Grape but he was acting like this... LMAO
