Leo or Matt? The Almost-Titanic
In 1995, as James Cameron embarked on his ambitious project to recreate the tragic love story of the Titanic, the casting process was underway. Kate Winslet was already secured for the role of Rose, but the studio was initially leaning towards Matthew McConaughey for the male lead, Jack.
However, Cameron had a different vision. He strongly believed that Leonardo DiCaprio, then known primarily for smaller, independent films, was the perfect fit for the role. The studio, hesitant about DiCaprio's ability to carry a massive blockbuster, resisted the idea.
It's a fascinating "what if" scenario that came to light in 2021 when McConaughey himself discussed the near-miss on The Howard Stern Show. While we can only speculate about how the film might have turned out with McConaughey in the lead, it's clear that Cameron's bold choice ultimately led to one of the most iconic love stories in cinematic history.
