Maggie Smithwho was captured on camera kissing with DiCaprio at the 2016 BAFTA Film Awards, he told NPR that getting a kiss from the “Titanic” star was “a thrill for me. A real thrill.”
In the meantime, margot robbiewho once starred with DiCaprio in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” admitted exchanging kisses with him it wasn’t as sexy as people assumed it would be.
“All my friends grilled me and asked, ‘Is he an amazing kisser?’ I’d sit them down and say, ‘All I know is that your screen kisses are great,'” she told People. “Then they would get upset and say, ‘Tell me it was romantic and there were fireworks.’ there were none. You do the shots in 17 hours, and it’s just hot and sweaty.” Still, he said that DiCaprio had been nothing more than nice to her during filming and was grateful that he took her under his wing.
DiCaprio has a long list of actors he’s kissed over his decades-long career, but did you know his first on-screen kiss was shared with a man? It was nothing less than David Thewlis in the 1995 film “Total Eclipse,” where he played the French poet Arthur Rimbaud and Thewlis to Paul Verlaine.
Then, in 2012, DiCaprio shared a passionate on-screen kiss with another male actor: Armie Hammer.
Armie Hammer always hoped to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio
Armie Hammer starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “J. Edgar.” He played the role of Clyde Tolson, J. Edgar Hoover’s colleague and long-rumored partner. The film required them to exchange kisses and, according to Hammerit was a dream I didn’t know I had!
“Yeah, jealous?” Hammer he joked when asked if he would actually kiss DiCaprio in the movie (via E! News). He added that never thought i’d get the chance to kiss dicaprio and joked that he probably always longed for it. “No, but I always hoped!” he said. “Somewhere, deep down, it was something i always waited for“.
Based on the actual footage of the kiss scene, he shared some intimate details about what happened in a guest appearance on “Watch What Happens Live.” Andy Cohen asked if he liked hitting or kissing DiCaprio better, to which Hammer replied, “See, that’s hard because I usually like to do both!” He also said that there was no language involvedalthough he admitted that DiCaprio had soft lips. And interestingly, when asked if he was excited during filming, he confessed yes.
Leonardo DiCaprio thinks it’s ‘difficult’ to kiss men
Leonardo Dicaprio makes it seem like he’s a pro at kissing other actors regardless of gender, but he once revealed that kissing men is particularly difficult for her.
“I have no problem making a movie about a love affair with another man,” he said in a 1995 Movieline interview. “That’s just acting, you know what I mean? But as far as kissing, that’s It’s really hard for me, I’m not kidding, but I’ve faced the fact that I’m going to have to do it, and I will do it because I supposedly loved the boy”.
And when he had to do it again years later, it seemed he had gotten over his qualms because he said it was just part of the job. “These are the things we do as actors: I was in character,” she told The Mirror in 2012.
“Clint was very clear and said, ‘I want you guys to hit each other first, I want as much blood as possible.’ , and I want them to grab each other like they want to kill each other, and then it will happen.
As for your favorite kissing partner? He’s probably who you’d expect him to be. “I’m going to go with Kate Winslet“, he said in a 2004 interview with Oprah Winfrey. “Good old, classic.”
