'I auditioned with Kate Winslet. Had a good audition. Walked away from there pretty confident that I had it. I didn't get it. I never got offered that.'
As well as discussing Titanic, the 49-year-old also spoke about all his years spent as a leading man in some of our favourite rom coms (erm, How To lose A Guy In 10 Days, anyone?!), and how he doesn’t regret a thing.

'They were fun. The pay was great. I was looking forward to them. I enjoyed going to work. I was also living on a beach and going out without my shirt on, just like I did before I was famous. I was living a romantic-comedy.'
