“PTA [Paul Thomas Anderson] was your white whale for a while after [you didn’t do] Boogie Nights. Who is your white whale now?” Jennifer asked him.
“There’s a lot of great directors out there. Damien Chazelle is very talented. Michael Mann’s amazing, I’ve always wanted to work with him. I don’t have one specifically, Paul was always somebody generationally that I really looked up to. We almost did Boogie Nights together, and then I got to watch his entire career progress over the last 25 years and see this incredible visionary,” he replied.
“Did you pass on Boogie Nights?” Jennifer asked.
“It was a hybrid of that. Titanic and Boogie Nights kind of overlapped in production. Maybe it could have worked out,” Leo reflected.
“Have you rewatched Titanic?” Jennifer then inquired.
“No. I haven’t seen it before,” Leo revealed, as Jennifer remarked: “Oh, you should. I bet you could watch it now, it’s so good.”
“I don’t really watch my films, do you?” Leo asked.
“No. I’ve never made something like Titanic, if I did I would watch it. Once I was really drunk, I put on American Hustle. I was like, ‘I wonder if I’m good at acting?’ I put it on, and I don’t remember what the answer is,” Jennifer amusingly said.
Leo also shared why he’s so private about his personal life.
