After talking about how he bullied Leonardo DiCaprio on the sets of the $10M movie, Johnny Depp also admitted that he respected DiCaprio for how hard he worked in the movie. Talking about that time, Depp said, “I'd say the absolute truth is that I respect Leo a lot.
Despite his rough treatment of the young star on the set of Gilbert Grape, Depp pointed out that he has a deep respect for DiCaprio's talent as an actor. “I'd say the absolute truth is that I respect Leo a lot,” Depp asserted.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire's friendship has been one of the longest to last in Hollywood. They have been best friends since they were just child actors in the 80's. And maybe this is one of the reasons that both the actors were destined to be best friends.
After an audition, Depp was shortlisted and eventually offered the role of Jack. However, he turned it down. Back in 2001, Depp told Howard Stern that he turned down the role because the 180-page script for the movie was too long for him to get through.
Both are incredible Oscar Nominees(Leonardo just won Oscar). Both are versatile actors. It is really hard to have comparison between them. If asked, who is the most versatile actor, then for sure it is Johnny Depp.
While Brando's acting chops can never be disputed, it wasn't simply his performances that led Depp to call Brando his favourite performer during a conversation with IMDB: “Marlon Brando is maybe the greatest actor of the last two centuries. But his mind is much more important than the acting thing.
Billy Crudup turned down the role of Jack after factoring in the picture's potential success. Crudup stated he wasn't prepared for the media storm that would come with a high profile role for a film like Titanic.
Who was supposed to be on the Titanic but missed it?
As the Titanic was the height of luxury in 1912, some celebrities had tickets for its maiden voyage. But not all of them ended up boarding the ship. J. Pierpont Morgan and Milton Hershey were among those who missed the disaster.
The attention on DiCaprio's love life began in 1994, when he was linked to model Bridget Hall. He went on to date Gisele Bündchen, Blake Lively and Camila Morrone, who is 23 years his junior.
Are Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio still friends?

Some of the following names are amongst the millions of 'likes' on Depp's post; Rita Ora, Jennifer Aniston, Emma Roberts, Paris Hilton, Elizabeth Hurley and Ryan Adams.
How old was Leonardo DiCaprio in Eating Gilbert Grape?
The performance of Leonardo DiCaprio received widespread critical acclaim, garnering the then-19-year-old his first nominations for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, making him the seventh-youngest Best Supporting Actor nominee for the former.
When Leonardo was ten years old, his agent advised him to change his name to Lenny Williams because it is more "American Friendly." His middle name is Wilhelm. Leonardo can speak a little German. DiCaprio's favorite actors are Robert DiNiro and Jack Nicholson.
But the two stars who came closest to landing the role before DiCaprio was offered the part are believed to be Matthew McConaughey and Jeremy Sisto, both of whom went so far as to audition alongside Kate Winslet.
As for Rose DeWitt Bukater, the role was offered to Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Gabrielle Anwar, and Reese Witherspoon. After they all turned it down, Kate Winslet began to campaign for it, sending notes to Cameron until she was invited to audition.
The body of an adult male, whose personal identification revealed he was "J. Dawson," was found at sea after Titanic sank. Bodies were numbered in the order they were recovered. Dawson's body was number 227.
Director James Cameron almost cast Gwyneth Paltrow as Rose in Titanic because he didn't want the casting to be too obvious, but ultimately decided on Kate Winslet. Gwyneth Paltrow also auditioned for the role of Jack, which was eventually played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The filmmaker in the interview with GQ revealed that he was initially thinking of someone like Gwyneth Paltrow for Rose. He said that when Kate was proposed as an option, he was afraid that she was too much of a typecast. And if he picks Kate for the role it might look like the "laziest casting in the world."
One of his most popular loves was Vanessa Paradis with whom he was together for a long period of 14 years. According to reports, the relationship started after Johnny Depp felt an instant feeling for the French singer and model after just looking at her back.
Depp built a reputation as one of the most talented actors in Hollywood, a respected artist whose name was associated with success at the box office. Today, his name is associated with a lie, a false statement uttered by his former wife."
In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, where Depp provided a selection of his favourite films of all time, he inadvertently named his favourite film he'd ever been in: Tim Burton's Ed Wood.
