Lily Gladstone was already well versed in Leonardo DiCaprio’s movie-making oeuvre before they became co-stars in the 2023 drama, “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
The extent of Gladstone’s fandom for DiCaprio includes, of course, his memorable performance as Jack Dawson in 1997’s “Titanic,” a film she said she loved when it was first released.
“It was one of the first things I spent my allowance on,” Gladstone told People in an interview published Monday. “I pre-ordered the double VHS set from Toys ‘R’ Us when that was still around.”
Gladstone clarified that she didn’t fully buy-in to the “Leo-mania” of the time, saying, “I loved that movie for the film and for Kate Winslet,” and that she liked DiCaprio “because Jack Dawson was great.”
“And it’s funny, whenever I had crushes in sixth grade — because the year that it came out for me — I would kind of project my crushes into Jack Dawson. It was never on Jack Dawson,” she said.
Over two decades later, Gladstone found herself starring alongside the Oscar-winner in the Martin Scorsese-directed “Killers of the Flower Moon.” In 2021, Gladstone also said she received a special invitation from DiCaprio himself.
“I get a text on my phone from some unmarked number saying, ‘Hey, this is Leo. Do you want to come over for dinner?’ I look at it and I’m just like, ‘Is this really him?’” She said.
