In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Kate Winslet explained why her friendship with Leonardo DiCaprio never turned into something more.
"I think the reason that friendship works is because there was never any romantic thing," the actress told the magazine’s November issue. "It's so disappointing for people to hear that, because in the soap opera of the Kate and Leo story we fell in love at first sight and had a million snogs, but actually we never did.”

“He always saw me as one of the boys,” she continued. “I've never really been a girly-girl. We needed each other to lean on because we were very young and working all kinds of crazy bloody hours and it was a shock to the system."
