Your heart may never go on after this Leonardo DiCaprio confession.  

Nearly 30 years after the One Battle After Another actor and Kate Winslet starred in James Cameron’s Titanic, an iconic drama based on the 1912 sinking of the vessel by the same name, he revealed he’s never rewatched the movie. 

“I haven’t seen it before,” Leo told Jennifer Lawrence during their conversation for CNN and Variety’s Actors on Actors series Dec. 17. “I don’t really watch my films.”

And while the Hunger Games actress, 35, concurred that she rarely takes in her own work, she emphasized to Leo of the 1997 love story, “I bet you could watch it now, it’s so good.”

Of course, Leo, 51, doesn’t need convincing in that regard, even if he hasn't sat through the entire three hours and 15 minutes in a while.

“It became something that we could’ve never foreseen,” Leo, who was just 22 when Titanic was released, explained to Deadline in a 2016 interview. “People said, 'Do you realize how big of a movie this is?' I said, 'Yeah, it’s big. It’s a big movie.’ They’re like, 'No. No. No, it’s the biggest movie ever.’”

Indeed, because of the film’s success Leo—who had already solidified himself as a star at that point—was able to take on more experimental roles. 

“I had forged by then exactly what type of films I wanted to do,” he explained. “I used [my fame] as a blessing, to make R-rated, different kinds of movies, to throw the dice a little bit on things I wanted to act in. People would want to finance those movies now. I’d never had that before Titanic.”

Meanwhile, the only regret Leo previously had about taking the role of 20th century heartthrob Jack Dawson was being forced to pass on Paul Thomas Anderson’s directorial debut Boogie Nights, which also hit the big screen in 1997.
