Kate Winslet is known for swearing like a trucker, and we definitely know that she regularly speaks her mind. Sometimes that makes her sound sanctimonious and arguably hypocritical, but other times she’s so blunt it’s funny. She recently said that the theme song for Titanic, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” makes her want to puke whenever she hears it. Kate went on to explain that she often hears the song played in her honor when she enters bars and restaurants, and that she has to endure Titanic jokes whenever she steps on a boat. It was understandable, and while some find Kate intolerable she’s definitely starting to grow on me. In a new interview on British TV, Kate quipped that since she did Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio 15 years ago she’s gotten thinner while he’s fatter.
Fifteen years after Titanic’s phenomenal success—those 11 Oscars, those gazillion bucks—Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are at the top of the fame game, amassing nine Oscar nominations and one win between them.
One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is their bawdy sense of humor with each other—Winslet has often said DiCaprio is like a brother to her, and she once famously told Vanity Fair, “To me, he’s just smelly, farty Leo.”
Well, well, well…that wicked sense of humor was on full display when the actress recently looked back on their fateful pairing 15 years ago and took stock of the, ahem, hefty things he’s done since…
“We do look very different, we’re older,” Winslet said while guesting on the U.K. show Daybreak, as reported by the Daily Mail. “Leo’s 37, I’m 36—were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now—I’m thinner. It’s true though!”
Gotta give it to Winslet, the lady knows how to milk a good laugh!
The ribbing is all the more hilarious—and ironic—given that, early in her career, Winslet was constantly scrutinized and picked apart for her gorgeously zaftig figure.

Photo agency WENN has the detail that Kate added that Leo wouldn’t care that she said he’d gained weight. According to them her full quote is “He’s fatter, I’m thinner and he won’t care I’ve said so!” Leo shouldn’t care – he deserves a little ribbing since Kate is shouldering all the promotional duties for Titantic 3D. The least he could have done would be to show up at the London premiere, but so far it’s been all Kate.
Well it’s true, basically. Leo is a much bigger dude that he was 15 years ago and Kate is slimmer. She was so hot in Titanic and I just googled “Kate Winslet’s boobs titanic” as a reminder. I haven’t seen that film in at least 10 years. She has a great rack.
Kate is obnoxious and outspoken, but I have to admit I love people like that. Some of my closest friends are very blunt with larger than life personalities. Things are just more colorful and exciting when they’re around. So I would like to have a drink or three with Kate and gossip about celebrities. You know she can trash talk with the best of them. If this is the stuff she’s saying in interviews, she’s probably hilarious in person.
Leo at the Golden Globes 1-15-12. I still would
