This is the firts screen test of Kate for Titanic. Oh my god, this girl is wonderful. I think the guy called Jeremy Sisto. By Holly Hunter's boyfriend in the movie Thirteen.
I think that I like Jeremy more than Leo as Jack Dawson. There is a believable chemistry between them and an "opposites attract" feel to this screen test, but Leo was more "Hollywood handsome " and a big name. Oh well, life isn't perfect.
Leo was the missing piece-he made Kate flourish and she in turn, made him shine. They were soulmates for this film and the natural chemistry they captured resonates with every generation of viewers. You cannot help but fall in love with them.

Kate was the one who convinced Leo to do it he didn’t want to because he though it’s all gonna be about the effects and not the story and he wanted the character to have a trauma and he didn’t want to read James Cameron fired him Kate convinced Leo to do it. Which I think Kate is the originator of their friendship Kate has this sense of when something is definitely right she wants to take that opportunity. OFC Leo during titanic was whining and complaining all the time and Kate was consummate professional and so focus just like Leo said in an interview
No, that would be Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca.” The chemistry is unbelievable. “Casablanca” is a much better film than “Titanic” (which I did enjoy a lot). The biggest failure in “Titanic” and the major strength in “Casablanca” was the script. “Casablanca”’s script is one of the greatest ever, with memorable line after memorable line. “Titanic”’s script was so weak that it became the first film since 1965’s “Sound of Music” to win Best Picture without a Best Screenplay nomination (Original or Adapted). You take that boat away and the CGI, and ‘“Titanic” becomes a little less impressive. “L.A. Confidential,” which was up against “Titanic” for best picture that year, featured a brilliant script, first rate acting by everyone, intriguing story - and literally no reliance on CGI. It should have won. Instead, it got 2 lousy Oscars. I saw “Titanic” when it first came out, and I was floored by it. 20 years later - less so as the storyline is weak, and the script is just dreadful. Sorry - but that is just my opinion. You folks who think otherwise are certainly as correct as I - our opinions are so so important, and I applaud you if you love “Titanic.”
I agree! Brilliant casting choice, especially Kate Winslet. She didn’t fit the mould of starlets of that era, and this made her career. She received a lot of backlash for not looking like everyone else, but she looks exactly like the most beautiful women of that time period, and she is a brilliant actor. It was a genius move on Cameron’s part. Leo was the “it” thing at the time, after Romero + Juliet, so he made more sense. I remember going to the London premiere with my friends to see all the stars when I was 12. Even then we got the Leo casting, but didn’t get Winslet. However, as each of us watched the movie, in turn, we all began gushing about how beautiful she was and how perfect for the role. Those who hadn’t seen the film didn’t get it, and then as soon as they saw it, they agreed with us! The film is a perfect showcase for Winslet’s talent and beauty (and Leo’s as well…I had on a major crush on him back then haha).
+Jaimee Marshall but if someone else played the role you wouldn't have known any better, for all we know some other actor who wasn't even auditioned could have played the role far better than DiCaprio
xtheresaxo I feel it. Titanic has been my favorite movie since I was 7 and it made me want to act. I'm 19 in 9 days, I'm no closer to my dream and I'm soo disappointed in myself.
The male actor is Jeremy Sisto (who played Elton in “Clueless,” among other things). He is not just here to feed her lines for her audition. He has talked in interviews about auditioning for Titanic and how heartbroken he was to lose the role to DiCaprio.
He seems to be speaking very softly and almost mumbling - I can barely understand him. That made it hard for me to stay engaged. They seemed to be at two different intensities or levels or something.
Leo did incredible with the role of Jack Dawson I actually cannot imagine anyone else in the entire universe playing Jack other than Leo I'm glad he got the part because a lot of other actors actually turned it but Leonardo accepted it I look where he is now
The casting of Leo completely changed the dynamic of the film. Not only that, but his performance brought out the best in Kate too. They bounced off each other perfectly.
Kate Winslet is such a good actress, it’s just a first look for the role and she is so natural. And you can see this natural with all the characters she played ! I love love Kate!
during the scene that made the movie, you never get the feeling that Jack is flirting. He likes her and respects her. He is interested in freedom and stands in life with light feet. This scene gives a feeling of him flirting and he seems to eager.
H. C. Isn't she? She was on a British TV show on the BBC called 'Dark Season' back in the early 90s and even at 16 she was beautiful. Very good looking woman. So pleased to see she has come really far in her acting career. ❤️
I love how kate developed the character from this screen test. The accent she ends up using is so much better and her more shy reserved body language fits Rose's character a lot better too. This version of rose is a bit too brash and confident for a nineteen year old upper class woman about to be married off against her will
Her accent here is a little "common" and "loose" compared to the stiff erudite transcontinental accent she would have at the start. It even loosened a bit during the movie as she relaxed around Jack. Beautifully done.
Winslet and DiCaprio's chemistry is what made that film work. You rooted for them to survive and be together throughout the entire film. Without that - I don't think the film would've been as successful or even considered a classic.
Man, she’s good. I don’t think anyone else could have played that role so perfectly. At only 19! She still has the ability to play every role perfectly. Such a talent. Jeremy Sisto isn’t half bad, either. He’s a bit too calm for this role, though. Leo’s early nervousness and feelings of being out of place were more evident. That and the fact his joy and enthusiasm were unbridled probably sealed the deal. He did an absolutely beautiful job in the part.
Sisto is horrible and not for this part! Unfortunately he plays better roles as an asshole lol with his deep voice but you can tell he was not made for this part!
@@AnastasiaLiliane no she was like 19 or 20 at the screen testing but when the movie finally finished and premiered, they both literally just had their birthdays. She had turned 22 and leo 23
Okay, Leo I see how you owned this movie. Leo is an amazing artist. The use of his facial features make all the difference. His ability to come off likable and genuine, funny and loving.
Anna-- I heard it somewhere in the media, perhaps their calculations were a bit off. Wouldn't be the first time the media was wrong...but 20 years old isn't much different.
@@rogerbarrett5398 Also played Ceasar in the 2002 film Julius Caesar. Great movie to watch as well. And of course I thought he played a badass cop in Law and Order.
@@monkeybrown5218 Wrong. That is Jeremy Sisto. An accomplished actor in his own right. A screen test is not only just used for one actor on one audition. Screen tests are also used to measure chemistry between actors being considered for different roles. Obviously, Leo had better chemistry with Kate.
He's so serious. Leo actually made everything funny. When I watch this scene with Leo, I laugh, because of Leo's facial expressions and Kate's portrayal of Rose's frustration. But here it doesn't have any humour. And I can barely hear him lmao
Sisto always seems to have one setting. There's nothing animated in him, no life, no energy, no fun. It's just this energy that weighs down the proceedings. This is 180 degrees opposite of what DiCaprio did with the part. He makes Jack likeable in every scene. Here, you wonder why she's talking to this guy.
***** IKRRRRR But she basically looks the same now, so that was a benefit omg. WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE get cast in huge roles like this 😭😭 It must be so exciting
NANCAY WANG Haha yes that's very true she hardly seems to have aged. She must have seemed older to me because I was about 8 or 9 when I first watched this haha.
I've read some other people's comments elsewhere who said Kate was a bad pick for the role of Rose, but I do believe she was perfect in this. And when you combine Leonardo with her, their chemistry appeared very natural and credible.
2:24 that “I may have to get you to write that down” line sounds so cute and goofy when Leo says it! No one can replace him!!! He is the epitome of Jack! goofy, playful, cheeky, funny and sweet😭
He's dreamy, but he's not Leo. Leo was more youthful - still attractive and all but he was more boyish, and his chemistry with Kate Winslet was off the charts.
God, Kate is so beautiful. Her features look like she would fit absolutely perfect in this time era. Her skin is gorgeous!! SO glad they made her hair brighter and RED
Kate Winslet is one of those women that are just "classic"as in you could plop her in probably any century and she would have been stunning in whatever time period of world history. She is in our movies, but she could have also appeared in Renaissance paintings..
Stones Fan I see what you mean, but there are a ton of movie stars that you could say the same thing about. You could put Scarlett Johannson as an Egyptian pharaoh's wife or an alien sex slave in 2599 and she'd be admired regardless.
@Jasmine N. Really? So Kate had to end up doing the screen-testing with Sisto instead? However, Cameron implied that DiCaprio did his screen-testing with Winslet anyway. I am curious about that.
@Jasmine N. Nice. Cameron should show the screen-test of Winslet with DiCaprio now or in the near future. Would love to see it. Yes, I knew Cameron was hesitant about picking Winslet, because, she was English and he was looking for an American. Not to forget, he was looking for someone who was kinda similar to Audrey Hepburn in appearance, but Winslet was obviously more round and curvy. Nonetheless, he was enjoying Winslet's commitment and dedication. And that is the reason why he hired her. Excellent choice.
The key to Jack os that he "sees people," and he "SEES" Rose, meaning he knows her, he gets her, he knows who she is at her core and what makes her strong. DiCaprio sold it very well. This guy is kind of creepy, kind of unsettling, kind of flat and uninteresting, but beyond all that, you dont feel that he "sees" Rose at all. Aside from maybe seeing her as something to put in his crawlspace back in Chippewa Falls.
She looks like the rose that is her name. So healthy and glowing. So different than most would've been in that day and time. Such an incredible actress!
Leo's voice *ALONE* is just perfect. All of Jack's lines from this entire movie... only work in Leo's voice. It's hard to describe or put into words... do you get what I am trying to say though? :/
+ErinLuxe This guy actually does a good job but it's just weird seeing him do the Jack role because we're so used to DiCaprio. They had amazing chemistry together.
Actually I think Jeremy Sisto does a great job, you're just used to seeing Leo in the role and it's then hard to imagine anyone else once someone leaves an imprint on a role.
I think Leo captures the youthful spirit that was supposed to be portrayed. Rose and Jack are young in the movie and especially given Jack’s lifestyle I think it suits him to be more free-spirited and have a lighter outlook on life
I absolutely love Jeremy Sisto and I wish he was in more stuff. But this role belonged to Leo. He and Kate had such perfect chemistry, and they became best friends.
The right actor in the right part is everything. It's why casting is so important as is chemistry. Any of the great couples on screen have that tangible chemistry that the audience feels.
Cut the poor guy some slack. This was probably one of their first encounters and they didn't have time to get to know each other. That's probably why there's lack of chemistry. Also this seems to be shot all at once, with no cuts and a gazillion of repeated shots until the pace, energy, chemistry, lighting and everything else is perfect. I am sure the movie would be ok even if they'd picked him, however Leo's boyish charm and good looks, along with Kate's sophistication were definitely a winning combination.
the guy is okay but i gotta disagree, not sure titanic wouldve been that huge of a phenomenon the way we knew it if dicaprio didnt play jack opposite winslet's rose
Daniel Radcliff's mom told him once, to keep him grounded in this business, if anyone else we're playing Harry Potter they would be getting the same response as you are and love them just as much, which sort of makes sense because the reason why we can't picture anyone else in the role is because we already saw him in it, but if it we're someone else we wouldn't be giving Leo a second thought and probably couldn't imagine anyone else in the role, but whoever would have replaced Leo. Don't get me wrong I love Leo and feel the same way.
She was 19 when she did Sense and Sensibility, so she would have been about 21 when she did Titanic. Still, such amazing presence and talent in such a young woman. :-)
I love Ms. Winslet. She is so genuine and real. It's hard to believe she carried such a role at 19. It shows her talent and desire to become the character. Seeing this and then realizing Jack really hasn't shown up yet but when he does Leo a nd Kate have such chemistry.
This really shows how Leo was the better Jack. There’s perfect chemistry between them and it made the movie much better. There’s also no doubt Kate was also the perfect Rose. All she needed was red hair.😂
I agree.. there is awkwardness..neither of them are comfortable..no chemistry.. however jeremy sisto is a really fine actor.. leo is just a different type and has more charm..
I knew she was a star when I saw her performance in Heavenly Creatures. Kate left it all on the screen. Cameron only had to watch that movie to know that Kate had it all.
it's always interesting to see something like this: all the noises that can't be heard in the film, the bad lighting and so on... makes you really appreciate the final product!
For me was that Jack is suppose to be this confident guy and I think Leo was able to portray a confident person. If this guy was just there to do the scene with her than I guess it doesn't matter. But if he was being screen tested, to me he seem to be intimidated being around her.
***** I love Leo more than jeremy sisto in this movie..He is better,more credible and he is less intimidated. This guy Jeremy seems so shy that he is dull and annoying .I got bored before the end.
I think she was embarrassed and he sounded shy and embarrassed too, it's not their fault, they just didn't have chemistry and it was the first screen test so their acting skills weren't on point
She is wonderful. Not every actor can play any part. This scene shows how important chemistry between stars is. He's good looking but his heart does not seem to be in the role. No passion in his eyes or body language. Great movie with many great performers.
No one can convince me that his acting isn’t boring in this screen test. They have no chemistry, he doesn’t project, he eats his words, brings everything to a whisper tone which causes Kate to do the same and kills the momentum of the scene, he’s monotonous and his voice’s low register doesn’t match the lively nature of the character Kate is great though
im sooo glad they picked leonardo dicaprio to play jack, jeremy sisto is terrible, he's flat and expressionless and not a patch on leo looks and acting wise. there is no chemistry between jeremy and kate. the chemistry between kate and leo is amazing and you forget they're even acting. cameron couldn't have picked anyone better to play rose and jack. thank god he didn't pick jeremy, this movie would have been dreadful if he did. kate and leo should have gotten together in real life
Aw man this makes me SO happy they found leonardo dicaprio to play with her. Just seeing this really makes you think of how different, and of how much smaller of a movie it would've been with the wrong actor and wrong chemistry between these two. This guy's acting is so cliche
It's a huge testament to Kate's talent that she acted so beautifully opposite a guy who has as much charisma as a wooden chair. She's also the reason why Leo accepted the part. He initially turned it down but she convinced him. THANK GOD. And they've been besties ever since. Everything worked out well.
Leo, Kate and Mark Wahlberg all benefitted. Leo was seriously considering taking the lead role in "Boogie Nights" over "Titanic," but Kate convinced him to come on board (no pun intended) Titanic so Leo told his "Basketball Diaries" co-star and buddy Mark about the "Boogie Nights" role and the rest is history. All three had their breakthrough roles in both movies.
This shows why Leo got the part. This Jack looks like he wants her. He tries to be sexy and seductive while Leo's more of a regular guy, chill and honest and astonished by Rose's soul. And of course she is just brilliant. Kate became a leading woman allong the character. As Rose did, she left fear, insecurities and worries behind and became a strong figure.
I absolutely love Kare Winslet.. She is an outstanding actress. Titanic beautiful.. Her movie the Dressmaker, and Sense and Sensibility are just as beautiful.
He wasn’t auditioning for the part. . .it is Kate’s screen test with someone feeding the lines of the other character. He doesn’t have to act. . .they are watching and listening to her.
hey i have a question and idk if u know the answer but anyways 😂 this screentest was improvised or did they have like a script or sum? sorry for bothering and thank u for ur time :)
fool4singing I think it just has to do with modern affectation. I'm American, and I came off the same age as her in this scene when I was 15. I spent more time around adults and highly educated people, though. You can definitely say for sure that in Hollywood movies and most media now days there is an emphasis on pop culture and the way of acting/talking that comes with it, which I think comes off as young and shallow. A lot of young people (and even 40 year olds sometime) have copied these affectations. It also has to do with the roles for actors in the US as well. Most of the time it's people who are older trying to act even younger than their ages. Most of the roles are immature and insipid. Take Jennifer Lawrence for example. In real life she acts and looks her age, yet when she was in American Hustle, although they did not make it clear what age she was supposed to be, her being married to Christian Bales' character and having several children (I think I remember that her character did?), one can only assume that her character was much older than her real age, and I think she acted the part just fine. Of course she didn't act like she was in her 40s, but easily she could have been 30.
Just can't imagine anyone other than Leo playing Jack
She actually auditioned with Matthew McConaughey! Can you imagine if _he_ landed the role of Jack instead of Leo? 😂
I think that I like Jeremy more than Leo as Jack Dawson. There is a believable chemistry between them and an "opposites attract" feel to this screen test, but Leo was more "Hollywood handsome " and a big name. Oh well, life isn't perfect.

+MSO She was actually 22 years old in Titanic. She was born in 1975 and the film was made in 1997.
+MSO I wonder how did you calculate the 19.
Anna-- I heard it somewhere in the media, perhaps their calculations were a bit off. Wouldn't be the first time the media was wrong...but 20 years old isn't much different.
+MSO My goodnes, now she is what? 40? 41? and she looks exactly the same
Omg y’all stop dragging Jeremy Sisto lmao he’s actually a famous actor too. He ain’t a nobody. He just wasn’t right for this role.
I'm sure glad he played Jesus Christ in the movie "Jesus". Great one! He rocked that role! Got it on DVD.
Yeah, I honestly think he's great. Leo of course was fantastic, but I totally like this guy as well
😂 right? We all love Leo. Cut him some slack.😂
Hes really cute. Not that excellent actor as leo though
@@rogerbarrett5398 Also played Ceasar in the 2002 film Julius Caesar. Great movie to watch as well. And of course I thought he played a badass cop in Law and Order.
Leo and Kate have SOOO much chemistry and this just seems so awkward. I’m so glad Leo got the role
Leo's Jack was much more playful teasing and flirty with Kate. Her smile with him was much more receptive. Great movie, I could watch 100 times.
The awkwardness between them feels like every wrong Tinder date ever
Aint that the truth :D
Lollllll yes thats trueee
I.e. no Chemistry. Lol.
Been there, my man
@@monkeybrown5218 Wrong. That is Jeremy Sisto. An accomplished actor in his own right. A screen test is not only just used for one actor on one audition. Screen tests are also used to measure chemistry between actors being considered for different roles. Obviously, Leo had better chemistry with Kate.
He's so serious. Leo actually made everything funny. When I watch this scene with Leo, I laugh, because of Leo's facial expressions and Kate's portrayal of Rose's frustration. But here it doesn't have any humour. And I can barely hear him lmao
Leo is great..an amazing actor - and so cute and funny. ,animated,, free spirited, creative .and really smart
Yes, Leo definitely changed the dynamics. This actor's spirit is way too somber. Leonardo vibe was enthusiastic and captivating.
Sisto always seems to have one setting. There's nothing animated in him, no life, no energy, no fun. It's just this energy that weighs down the proceedings. This is 180 degrees opposite of what DiCaprio did with the part. He makes Jack likeable in every scene. Here, you wonder why she's talking to this guy.
She was 19? Holy CRAP she's so elegant
+NANCAY WANG OMG! She looks like 30! That's insane!
***** IKRRRRR But she basically looks the same now, so that was a benefit omg.
WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE get cast in huge roles like this 😭😭 It must be so exciting
NANCAY WANG
Haha yes that's very true she hardly seems to have aged. She must have seemed older to me because I was about 8 or 9 when I first watched this haha.
+NANCAY WANG Lol .. Elegantly put. :D
aw to be born English, it's their whole demeanor, an elegance, their way of speaking. America butchered our own beautiful language
Her skin is so flawless
Baker Mayweather wtf?
her skin looks old now
Tina Tafolli But she is still beautiful 💖
Angeline Reyes true
Try googling "Kate Winslet with no makeup" ... and come back and say that!
People say Titanic made Leo, but Leo would have been a star no matter what. He made Titanic. His chemistry with Kate under the direction of Cameron
She was so perfect in all aspects of that character. Couldn't have found anyone better
I've read some other people's comments elsewhere who said Kate was a bad pick for the role of Rose, but I do believe she was perfect in this. And when you combine Leonardo with her, their chemistry appeared very natural and credible.
She did she was talented and looked like a edwardian girl.
i like kate and she is talented but just looked too old
+BriefcaseWanker she's 19 in this movie
ErinLuxe i know but she looked too old. like 24
+Mike Kennedy Agreed. I thought she was very good. A lot of people talked about how she looked fat, but I thought her tits looked great!
God, could Kate have been any more beautiful? She's exquisite!
2:24 that “I may have to get you to write that down” line sounds so cute and goofy when Leo says it! No one can replace him!!! He is the epitome of Jack! goofy, playful, cheeky, funny and sweet😭
He's dreamy, but he's not Leo. Leo was more youthful - still attractive and all but he was more boyish, and his chemistry with Kate Winslet was off the charts.
God, Kate is so beautiful. Her features look like she would fit absolutely perfect in this time era. Her skin is gorgeous!! SO glad they made her hair brighter and RED
This dude is giving me anxiety... glad Leo got the part
Haha
@@mymailmymail2256
Jack: thought you were leaving
Rose: I am... You're so annoying
Jack: haha
I'm sorry, I had to
what if River had lived and played Jack? both have a similar look. how would he be as Jack?
oooh19 he would have been 27 at the time so too old but I think he would have done fine.
Sameeeeeeee
She is amazing as rose but her chemistry with Leonardo was what made titanic ❤
HIS VOICE… omg. I think that he was too suave for this role. I love that Jack was kind of a dork and more like a kid. Jeremy seems more like a man.
Kate Winslet is one of those women that are just "classic"as in you could plop her in probably any century and she would have been stunning in whatever time period of world history. She is in our movies, but she could have also appeared in Renaissance paintings..
Definitely, and her "nude" body is also the classical looking type, like the type in a renaissance painting.
fruitofthejoot So true. She just has that classic look. She could do a movie set in any time period and she would never look out of place.
Stones Fan I see what you mean, but there are a ton of movie stars that you could say the same thing about. You could put Scarlett Johannson as an Egyptian pharaoh's wife or an alien sex slave in 2599 and she'd be admired regardless.
miu miu rose if you've seen the sort of movies she's been in, i think you'd understand
She really fits historical movies
Kate so clearly stands out in this scene. She's excellent!
I know right ? 😍
THAT IS THE POINT. It is HER screen test not his.
@@zendayasfruityfrenchfry1784 Still interesting why Cameron did Winslet's screen-testing first with Jeremy Sisto though. Do you know?
@Jasmine N. Really? So Kate had to end up doing the screen-testing with Sisto instead? However, Cameron implied that DiCaprio did his screen-testing with Winslet anyway. I am curious about that.
@Jasmine N. Nice. Cameron should show the screen-test of Winslet with DiCaprio now or in the near future. Would love to see it.
Yes, I knew Cameron was hesitant about picking Winslet, because, she was English and he was looking for an American. Not to forget, he was looking for someone who was kinda similar to Audrey Hepburn in appearance, but Winslet was obviously more round and curvy. Nonetheless, he was enjoying Winslet's commitment and dedication. And that is the reason why he hired her. Excellent choice.
The key to Jack os that he "sees people," and he "SEES" Rose, meaning he knows her, he gets her, he knows who she is at her core and what makes her strong. DiCaprio sold it very well.
This guy is kind of creepy, kind of unsettling, kind of flat and uninteresting, but beyond all that, you dont feel that he "sees" Rose at all. Aside from maybe seeing her as something to put in his crawlspace back in Chippewa Falls.
She looks like the rose that is her name. So healthy and glowing. So different than most would've been in that day and time. Such an incredible actress!
Leo's voice *ALONE* is just perfect. All of Jack's lines from this entire movie... only work in Leo's voice. It's hard to describe or put into words... do you get what I am trying to say though? :/
+ErinLuxe It's because he's such an incredible actor, and so is Kate. They made those lines ring true. No one else could've played Jack and Rose.
Stones Fan Yea agreedddddd
+ErinLuxe This guy actually does a good job but it's just weird seeing him do the Jack role because we're so used to DiCaprio. They had amazing chemistry together.
ErinLuxe not at all
Actually I think Jeremy Sisto does a great job, you're just used to seeing Leo in the role and it's then hard to imagine anyone else once someone leaves an imprint on a role.
I think Leo captures the youthful spirit that was supposed to be portrayed. Rose and Jack are young in the movie and especially given Jack’s lifestyle I think it suits him to be more free-spirited and have a lighter outlook on life
Yes, the innocence, and cheerfulness towards life, living to the fullest up to his capabilities and yet responsible and humorous.
Leo didn’t look at all like people from that time. It ruined what could’ve been a great movie if they got the acting and the plot better
I absolutely love Jeremy Sisto and I wish he was in more stuff. But this role belonged to Leo. He and Kate had such perfect chemistry, and they became best friends.
I agree. He’s a good actor, but he was wrong for the role.
The right actor in the right part is everything. It's why casting is so important as is chemistry. Any of the great couples on screen have that tangible chemistry that the audience feels.
Cut the poor guy some slack. This was probably one of their first encounters and they didn't have time to get to know each other. That's probably why there's lack of chemistry. Also this seems to be shot all at once, with no cuts and a gazillion of repeated shots until the pace, energy, chemistry, lighting and everything else is perfect. I am sure the movie would be ok even if they'd picked him, however Leo's boyish charm and good looks, along with Kate's sophistication were definitely a winning combination.
Yes, he is pretty good!
I've seen him in many other films and did a great job in em, but titanic wasn't for him!
It just wasn’t for him
the guy is okay but i gotta disagree, not sure titanic wouldve been that huge of a phenomenon the way we knew it if dicaprio didnt play jack opposite winslet's rose
Daniel Radcliff's mom told him once, to keep him grounded in this business, if anyone else we're playing Harry Potter they would be getting the same response as you are and love them just as much, which sort of makes sense because the reason why we can't picture anyone else in the role is because we already saw him in it, but if it we're someone else we wouldn't be giving Leo a second thought and probably couldn't imagine anyone else in the role, but whoever would have replaced Leo. Don't get me wrong I love Leo and feel the same way.
THAT CREEKY ASS CHAIR THO😂
Oscar Carrillo ::: I can’t believe somebody didn’t said “Will SOMEBODY get me a can of WD-40??? PLEASE???!!!

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING THE WHOLE TIME
it’s crazy that she played rose at 19. one of the most iconic movie roles of the 90s. or ever, really
She was 23 when it filmed.
@@spoons250 19 actually.. it took 2 years to make the movie
@@fanoor2427нет. Она играла 19-летнюю девушку
Kate really has the Gift. At 19, yet she has so much depth, even in a screen test. ❤️
Kate was 19?? Holy, I thought she was like 28 maybe. She looks so mature for her age!
I'm pretty sure that's a mistake and she was 22 :)
She was 19 when she did Sense and Sensibility, so she would have been about 21 when she did Titanic. Still, such amazing presence and talent in such a young woman. :-)
in reality she looked very young and girlish
the movie camera is deforming that some how
How old was Leo?
kittycatnya~ he was 22
where is Leo, I just realized how different this movie would be without him...
Lillian Mae You mean better? :)
Natasza Suarez you mean worse? :)
Natasza Suarez you mean worst

@@nataszasuarez6243 You mean disaster just like the Titanic shipwreck?
I love Ms. Winslet. She is so genuine and real. It's hard to believe she carried such a role at 19. It shows her talent and desire to become the character. Seeing this and then realizing Jack really hasn't shown up yet but when he does Leo a nd Kate have such chemistry.
This really shows how Leo was the better Jack. There’s perfect chemistry between them and it made the movie much better. There’s also no doubt Kate was also the perfect Rose. All she needed was red hair.😂
Leo was born to play the part of jack!
True
Man the chemistry between these two is completely off. Just imagine if they hadn't put Leonardo in the movie. The chemistry would've of been terrible.
But I think she's off, not him. Imagine if they had put a better actress with him.
+jolie robles imagine if your brain wasnt fried with drugs
I agree.. there is awkwardness..neither of them are comfortable..no chemistry.. however jeremy sisto is a really fine actor.. leo is just a different type and has more charm..
kimmyfreak200 How old are you? His charm doesn't work anymore. Besides his charm works only on young girls not women.
*would have been
There is no "of"...
She played this part extremely well, so natural, no faults and very beautiful.
That shows just how much DiCaprio made this movie. Nobody could have done better than him, impossible.
Glad they chose Leo, with his natural, effortless charm. Leo has that ability to say his lines like he’s giving you a small wink.
I am glad that they changed her hair color for this movie. The flaming red hair fit Rose to a tee.
deb310red yesss, also the darker makeup
it's amazing how she could tear up so fast in that one little part! she's extraordinary!
I knew she was a star when I saw her performance in Heavenly Creatures. Kate left it all on the screen. Cameron only had to watch that movie to know that Kate had it all.
This looks like an incredibly difficult screen test. It looks like it's one continuous take and Kate's performance is very on the spot.
Yessss
So glad they didn't use him, absolutely no chemistry between them. it's awkward.
Clinton James agree completely
Clinton James AKWARD AF
haha!
Clinton James agreed
Clinton James I agree 100%
it's always interesting to see something like this: all the noises that can't be heard in the film, the bad lighting and so on... makes you really appreciate the final product!
She shined in Sense and Sensibility, its not hard to see from her role as Marianne that she was capable of playing this part
Agreed!
Esattamente.... 😊👍❤️
❤ I love Sense and Sensibility ... A classical scenic beautiful story ! She was the princess of it 🎉❤
Jeremy Sisto is a good actor. He just wasn’t right for this part.
In fact this guy had a part on the movie,,, as a 3th Class passenger .

LOL he is boring I can’t even hear him
I can’t unsee him as Elton from Clueless...lol
Sisto Did a great work in Julius Caesar (2002).
Kate recommended casting DiCaprio--she even said, If you don't pick me, pick him
Are you kidding me?
She's such an amazing actress!
What missing from this “Jack” is the excitement in enjoying life. Leo did. While this actor more like “yeah ive been there”-shy-laid back-kind of guy
She did great in this screen test, this 'Jack' is too dull. No energy at all.
I know right....no emotion at all. He was way too drab to even be an actor, let alone one for such an iconic role. Thank God Leo got the part!
It's true. He acts like if he is in the same social class as Rose.
GreekGodJonathan amen jonathan
For me was that Jack is suppose to be this confident guy and I think Leo was able to portray a confident person. If this guy was just there to do the scene with her than I guess it doesn't matter. But if he was being screen tested, to me he seem to be intimidated being around her.
***** I love Leo more than jeremy sisto in this movie..He is better,more credible and he is less intimidated. This guy Jeremy seems so shy that he is dull and annoying .I got bored before the end.
So awkward. Even she looks like she doesn’t want him to be Jack.
True that
I totally got that vibe too
emily barber I felt like he actually was the one trying to make a connection and she wasn’t feeling it! Lol they had two different visions
I think she was embarrassed and he sounded shy and embarrassed too, it's not their fault, they just didn't have chemistry and it was the first screen test so their acting skills weren't on point
Yep.
She is wonderful. Not every actor can play any part. This scene shows how important chemistry between stars is. He's good looking but his heart does not seem to be in the role. No passion in his eyes or body language. Great movie with many great performers.
rose needed someone lighthearted, a little goofy, sweet sounding, to balance her fiery-ness. not so serious as this guy. leo was perfect for it.
Kate looks like an angel with the way the light reflects her golden hair and porcelain skin
Ok dnt become a creepy weirdo on us. Saying she’s beautiful is good enough.

Him saying “I’m going to have to get you to write that one down” doesn’t have the same humour as Leo saying it, nobody could replace Leo
Edit stuff Idk when is that sentence?
Luna Ö 2:24
Yeah, he says it in a creepy way!
Auditioning and actually having the role and preparing and getting direction are two different things.
So true
No one can convince me that his acting isn’t boring in this screen test. They have no chemistry, he doesn’t project, he eats his words, brings everything to a whisper tone which causes Kate to do the same and kills the momentum of the scene, he’s monotonous and his voice’s low register doesn’t match the lively nature of the character
Kate is great though
You can even see it in her body language - she's leaning away from this Jack. With Leo, she was comfortable and drawn to him. The body never lies!!
im sooo glad they picked leonardo dicaprio to play jack, jeremy sisto is terrible, he's flat and expressionless and not a patch on leo looks and acting wise. there is no chemistry between jeremy and kate. the chemistry between kate and leo is amazing and you forget they're even acting. cameron couldn't have picked anyone better to play rose and jack. thank god he didn't pick jeremy, this movie would have been dreadful if he did. kate and leo should have gotten together in real life
No chemistry, and this guy is awful in this scene. He sounds *bored*. I'm so glad they went with Leo.
This guy sounds too romantic
Lol you have no idea how auditions are, of course he's only a props 😄
Who is he? He looks familiar.
Ари Фёдорович he plays in “Clueless”.
He is in clueless
I'm really glad this man wasn't chosed, Leo and Kate have the best chemistry ever in the history of romantic movies
Kate said in an interview or talk show that she also auditioned with Matthew McConaughey. Imagine if he got the role instead of Leo 😂
Daaaammmmn - Kate Winslet is a good actress!
Aw man this makes me SO happy they found leonardo dicaprio to play with her. Just seeing this really makes you think of how different, and of how much smaller of a movie it would've been with the wrong actor and wrong chemistry between these two. This guy's acting is so cliche
This is like an extra credits scene. I love the part of her saying this drawing looks sad and him telling her it was a drawing of her.
I love seeing how the scenes and dialogue changed from their original form.
It's a huge testament to Kate's talent that she acted so beautifully opposite a guy who has as much charisma as a wooden chair. She's also the reason why Leo accepted the part. He initially turned it down but she convinced him. THANK GOD. And they've been besties ever since. Everything worked out well.
Leo, Kate and Mark Wahlberg all benefitted. Leo was seriously considering taking the lead role in "Boogie Nights" over "Titanic," but Kate convinced him to come on board (no pun intended) Titanic so Leo told his "Basketball Diaries" co-star and buddy Mark about the "Boogie Nights" role and the rest is history. All three had their breakthrough roles in both movies.
This shows why Leo got the part. This Jack looks like he wants her. He tries to be sexy and seductive while Leo's more of a regular guy, chill and honest and astonished by Rose's soul. And of course she is just brilliant. Kate became a leading woman allong the character. As Rose did, she left fear, insecurities and worries behind and became a strong figure.
That's what I saw too
Very well worded!
This guy looks and acts like JD in Heathers lol
I absolutely love Kare Winslet.. She is an outstanding actress. Titanic beautiful.. Her movie the Dressmaker, and Sense and Sensibility are just as beautiful.
Kate has the same energy in Titanic that Carrie Fisher had in Star Wars. A young girl- headstrong and feisty. Free spirited and outspoken. Love it!
He wasn’t auditioning for the part. . .it is Kate’s screen test with someone feeding the lines of the other character. He doesn’t have to act. . .they are watching and listening to her.
hey i have a question and idk if u know the answer but anyways 😂 this screentest was improvised or did they have like a script or sum? sorry for bothering and thank u for ur time :)

Young British people come off more mature than young Americans...
fool4singing do we? haha :P :)
fool4singing I think it just has to do with modern affectation. I'm American, and I came off the same age as her in this scene when I was 15. I spent more time around adults and highly educated people, though. You can definitely say for sure that in Hollywood movies and most media now days there is an emphasis on pop culture and the way of acting/talking that comes with it, which I think comes off as young and shallow. A lot of young people (and even 40 year olds sometime) have copied these affectations. It also has to do with the roles for actors in the US as well. Most of the time it's people who are older trying to act even younger than their ages. Most of the roles are immature and insipid. Take Jennifer Lawrence for example. In real life she acts and looks her age, yet when she was in American Hustle, although they did not make it clear what age she was supposed to be, her being married to Christian Bales' character and having several children (I think I remember that her character did?), one can only assume that her character was much older than her real age, and I think she acted the part just fine. Of course she didn't act like she was in her 40s, but easily she could have been 30.
fool4singing
Are you taking the piss??? LOOOOOOL. No.
ikr anbelivable
She was just 19 here when she auditioned and was 20-21 when she filmed Tiranic. So much maturity already in her acting
