Titanic director James Cameron explains why he had to convince Leonardo DiCaprio to appear in the movie
James Cameron told Fox News Digital Leonardo DiCaprio almost passed on playing Jack Dawson in "Titanic" because he thought the role was too easy.
Vittoria Ceretti, Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, is giving a rare and intimate glimpse into what it’s like dating the famous actor.
As the 26-year-old peeled back the curtains on their whirlwind relationship, she confessed the one thing that irks her the most about their romance.
When asked if she believes there’s a "risk" in being labeled DiCaprio’s "girlfriend," she replied, "Yes."

"As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become ‘girlfriend of’ – or ‘boyfriend of,’ for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying," Ceretti said in an interview for Vogue France.
"Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex. So, it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you."
While being a public figure comes with its perks, it also has its drawbacks. She revealed what it’s like having ties with "one of the most desired people in the world."
"It's something you learn. If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence," she remarked.

She continued to detail a moment she had with DiCaprio’s mother, as she briefly shared her favorite activities as a child.
"A while ago, I was looking through childhood photos with my boyfriend's mom, and we noticed that every time I dressed up, it was as a witch, a bunny, or a clown! And I never played with Barbie. I spent hours in my room, alone, with my brother's cars. And I wrote a lot of diaries."
