Billy Zane Says Titanic Costar Leonardo DiCaprio ‘Just Gets Better’ with Each Film

The two actors were pictured together at the premiere of DiCaprio’s new film One Battle After Another in Hollywood on Monday, Sept. 8.

Speaking on the third hour of Today on Wednesday, Sept. 17, Zane, 59, said of the run-in: “That was a fun reunion!”

“His new film is wonderful — One Battle After Another. It’s great,” Zane added. “And he just gets better. It’s so good to see his work. Everyone in that film is great. And reuniting with him on the red carpet at the Chinese. I’m sure we’ve seen each other plenty since the film, but not since, I think it was our premiere [of Titanic] had we spent time in front of that building, and that’s what I guess lit up a lot of people.”

DiCaprio starred as Jack in the 1997 film Titanic, in which Zane played the arrogant Cal Hockley, who was engaged to Jack’s love interest, Rose (played by Kate Winslet).

The actors have been pictured together since Titanic, including at the 2017 Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation’s (LDF) annual charity auction in St. Tropez, France.

DiCaprio, 50, stars in filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another as a former revolutionary figure who is being hunted by police officer Steven Lockjaw. The film opens on Sept. 26.

Zane, meanwhile, stars in the Marlon Brando biopic, Waltzing with Brando, which opens on Sept. 19. The film is an adaptation of Bernard Judge’s 2011 memoir of the same name and tells the story “of a young Los Angeles architect who found himself, quite unexpectedly, living on an unpopulated atoll in the South Pacific with his client, Marlon Brando.”

Judge, an award-winning architect, was hired by Brando to construct a home on the 12-island atoll of Tetiaroa, Tahiti. He died in 2021, nearly two decades after Brando died in 2004.
