How Ironic: Leo Hated Shooting Water Scenes for Titanic!

He is used to jumping around and shooting people for his films but apparently one thing that Leo doesn't like is going for a dip.

Turns out Kiera Knightley isn’t the only whinger in Hollywood as it has been revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio kicked up more than a bit of a fuss about the water scenes he had to shoot for Titanic.

According to director James Cameron, Leo wasn’t too keen on getting wet for the film which went on to win a number of awards and become one of the biggest movies all of time.

Titanic director James Cameron spoke about Leo’s diva behaviour.

Speaking to The Sun newspaper Cameron said: “Leo was like a Siamese cat trying to get into the water. He made a huge production of it every time.” That’s A-list stars for you!

As if that wasn’t bad enough, it turns out luscious Leo was probably the best actor for the job as the 58 year old filmmaker explains: “It turned out on the last day of shooting, we had to do an underwater scene and he said, ‘I’m a certified scuba diver.’”

We would have strangled him had we not been so besotted with him back in the day!

Turns out Leo was putting on a performance off camera as well.

If you want to see Leo in all his drenched glory, you might want to get your hands on a copy of the 3D Blu-Ray DVD of Titanic.
