But we have never liked each other, and that means we were able to have this." She emphasized the strength of their friendship, which has endured over the years, allowing them to maintain a playful camaraderie.
Despite the disappointments some fans may feel about the debunked romance, Winslet expressed gratitude for the enduring bond she shares with DiCaprio. The actors recently appeared together on multiple occasions, showcasing their strong friendship at events organized by DiCaprio for his foundation.

As for her Oscar, awarded for Best Leading Actress in 2008 for "The Reader," Winslet shared a quirky detail about its placement. The prestigious award sits proudly in her bathroom, a decision inspired by Emma Thompson. Winslet's candid revelations provide insight into her enduring friendship with DiCaprio and her perspective on the lasting legacy of "Titanic."
