DiCaprio - "Titanic" Almost Ruined My Career
He rebelled shortly after the film came out.
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently admitted that he was too young and immature after Titanic came out to be an international movie star. And, worse yet, to be the international heartthrob everyone expected.
It was shortly after the movie came out that he rebelled against the fame and fortune that came with this role, and got back to basics in his career.
"Titanic began a period of rebellion for me. As soon as people give you enough compliments and you suddenly have more power than you've ever had in your entire life, it's not that you become an arrogant p***k, or you become rude to people, but you get a false sense of your own importance," the actor said.
"You're treading in dangerous territory when you begin thinking you've altered the course of history. It was like a runaway train. I didn't understand what was happening to me."
But now, everything's good, especially considering that he's likely to be nominated for another Academy Award for his role in Revolutionary Road.
