“So Leo came in, obviously he charmed everyone, including me,” Cameron told the magazine of the casting session. “I said, ‘Okay, let’s see what your chemistry is with Kate.’ [Winslet].’ So he comes a few days later and I set up the camera to record the video.
“He came in and thought it was another date to meet Kate,” Cameron told GQ. “And I said, ‘OK, so we’re going to go into the next room and do a few lines and I’m going to shoot.’ And he said, “You mean I’m reading?” And I said, “Yes.” He said, “Oh, I don’t read.”
Cameron recalled shaking her hand and thanking her “for stopping by.” DiCaprio, who was 20, was so taken aback by the seemingly innocuous request that he asked, “Wait, wait, wait, you mean if I don’t read, I don’t get the part? Simply?”
