Leonardo DiCaprio was surprised by overnight 'Titanic' success

Leonardo DiCaprio recently revealed that he never thought he will get instant fame after 'Titanic.'

Talking about the highest-grossing film of all time, the 41-year-old actor said that it was very much an experiment for Kate Winslet and him, adding that they had done independent movies and he loved her as an actress, reports People magazine.

The 'Revenant' star admitted that after the success of the film, the level of fame he achieved seemingly overnight surprised him.

"My whole life became about things that weren't about acting," he said.

DiCaprio added that he knew there was an expectation of him to do a certain thing at that point and he knew that he had to get back to what his intentions were.

The actor is running the Oscar race this year for his flick 'Revenant.
