Leonardo Di Caprio Titanic movie peformance as Jack Dawson
Jack Dawson is attracted to Rose at first sight and meets her when she attempts to throw herself off the stern of the ship. This enables him to mix with the first-class passengers for a night.
Tom Cruise expressed an interest in the character, though his superstar asking price was never taken seriously.Leonardo DiCaprio, 22 years old at the time, was brought to Cameron's attention for the Titanic Movie by casting director Mali Finn. Initially, he did not want to portray the character, and refused to read his first romantic scene on the set .
Cameron said, "He read it once, then started goofing around, and I could never get him to focus on it again. But for one split second, a shaft of light came down from the heavens and lit up the forest."
Cameron strongly believed in Leonardo DiCaprio's acting ability, and told him, "Look, I'm not going to make this guy brooding and neurotic. I'm not going to give him a tic and a limp and all the things you want." Cameron rather envisioned the character as a James Stewart type.
