Leonardo DiCaprio, who played male protagonist Jack Dawson, said there were moments where James Cameron created problems for the cast and crew with his “negative” attitude. The actor claimed the director did not entertain others’ ideas and used to throw a fit when they were pitched.
“Jim knows exactly what he wants,” he said. “Needless to say, when somebody felt a different way on the set of ‘Titanic‘, there was a confrontation. Jim had it out with them right there in front of everybody. He lets you know exactly how he feels. But he’s of the lineage of John Ford.”
He said it turned out for the better as everyone was stunned by the brilliance he brought in his project.
It is to be noted that James Cameron revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio did not want to play the leading role.
