LEONARDO DICAPRIO + KATE WINSLET FRIENDS 4EVA #FriendshipGoals #IDST.
Scroll through these adorable pictures, but warning: your hearts might not be able to handle the love (but they WILL go on)!
Getty ImagesWhen Leonardo DiCaprio met and fell in love in Titanic it started a love story that would carry on for years. Purely platonic, Kate and Leo are true friends. And here's the proof...
Getty ImagesBack in 1997. Kate and Leo turned 21 and 22, respectively, while making Titanic, and Kate credited Leo with turning her in to a star. Back in 1998, she said: “I know that I would not have been able to do any of what I did without Leo.”
Getty ImagesLeo even addressed their on-screen chemistry in a 1997 interview with Entertainment Tonight: "She's such a terrific person in general that our chemistry naturally happened on screen. We just like each other as people. As far as doing a love scene, though, we laughed about it a lot."
Getty ImagesLeo told Oprah Winfrey, "In a lot of ways, Kate and I have really grown up in this industry together; we've been a support mechanism for each other for such a long period of time. We've been there for each other and helped guide each other."
Getty ImagesDuring an appearance on the Today show, Kate joked about how much they've changed since Titanic: "Well, I think I can speak for both of us: we have a lot more wrinkles. Don't we, darling? I'm proud of him, though. I can't say that you're taller, because you were always tall. He's a man now; look at him — he's just bigger. Physically you aren't that different; you're just less puny."
Leo returned the compliment: "She's still as beautiful and radiant as the day I met her. She is the consummate professional; she keeps pushing herself to an emotional truth when she's working. That's why I keep saying she's the best."
Getty ImagesLeonardo has given us hope for another Kate and Leo movie: "It's great to work with one of your best friends, it really is. I'll always be looking to work with her again."
Getty ImagesTalking about Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio said: "She's my homie."
Getty ImagesTen years after Titanic — they got back together in front of the cameras to film 2008's Revolutionary Road. With the director being Kate's then-husband Sam Mendes, you'd think filming would be awkward, but apparently not. Kate confirmed that Leo's "relationship predates my relationship with Sam, and Sam always loved that."
Getty ImagesIn 2013, Kate said: “Leo has mastered this more than anyone I know. it’s not that he’s sort of brazen like, 'I don’t give a fuck and I’m going to be rebellious and behave badly.' It’s not that. It's genuinely not caring what people think because he will not allow other people’s judgments to have any kind of impact on his life and who he is. and I have really admired that so much in him .“
Getty ImagesWhen Kate won a Golden Globe award for Revolutionary Road, Kate paid tribute to her pal in her acceptance speech: "Leo, I'm so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you and how much I've loved you for 13 years. I love you with all my heart, I really do."
Getty ImagesDid you know that Leonardo DiCaprio played a special part in Kate's December 2013 wedding to Ned Rocknroll — he reportedly walked her down the aisle!
Someone pass us the tissues...
Getty ImagesIf there's one person who really wants Leo to win an Oscar, it's Kate: “I think you can sort of feel it, and I think that everyone wants it for him."
Rex FeaturesLook at them clutching their BAFTA Awards, looking all happy. Speaking from the ceremony, Kate Winslet admitted that Leo doesn't bring up the fact that his Titanic character could've survived.
"No, funnily enough he doesn't [bring it up]," she said. "He really doesn't care about the door."
"Do you know what's lovely? So much time has passed that it doesn't matter what I say now," Winslet said. "It's not going to be a story that causes a huge furore. It'll just be something that makes people laugh."
Getty Images“People are always so excited to see Leo and myself in the same space, which you know at the end of the day that is so lovely, isn’t it,” Winslet said during Awards season. “It’s been 20 years and people still get such a kick out of it.”
GettyAll eyes were on Leo and Kate at the 2016 Oscars, especially when Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar for his role in The Revenant. The camera immediately cut to Kate's face, and she had tears in her eyes. It just makes you feel all warm inside, doesn't it?
