Leonardo DiCaprio claims he's never seen his beloved 1997 blockbuster Titanic.

The Oscar winner sat down with Jennifer Lawrence for an installment of Variety and CNN's "Actors on Actors" published on Wednesday, Dec. 17.

At one point in the discussion, Lawrence, 35, asked her costar from 2021's Don't Look Up, "Have you rewatched Titanic?" to which DiCaprio, 51, replied, "No. I haven’t seen it before."

"Oh, you should. I bet you could watch it now, it’s so good," said Lawrence.

"I don’t really watch my films, do you?" asked DiCaprio.

"No," the Die My Love actress answered, joking, "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."

DiCaprio echoed that he doesn't often watch his own projects when he spoke with his One Battle After Another director Paul Thomas Anderson for Esquire in August.

"I rarely watch any of my films," he said at the time, "but if I’m being honest, there’s one that I have watched more than others. It’s The Aviator. That’s simply because it was such a special moment to me. I had worked with Marty [Scorsese] on Gangs of New York, and I’d been toting around a book on Howard Hughes for 10 years."

By the time he got that movie made, "I was 30. It was the first time as an actor I got to feel implicitly part of the production, rather than just an actor hired to play a role. I felt responsible in a whole new way. I’ve always felt proud and connected to that film as such a key part of my growing up in this industry and taking on a role of a real collaborator for the first time."

Directed by James Cameron, Titanic became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time. The film starred DiCaprio opposite Kate Winslet.

"Titanic was very much an experiment for Kate Winslet and I," DiCaprio told Deadline in 2016. "We’d done all of these independent movies. I loved her as an actress and she said, 'Let’s do this together, we can do this.' We did it, and it became something that we could’ve never foreseen."

He added, "We never predicted that it would be what it was, and I said, 'Okay, slow down. Let all this pass a little bit, and let’s get back to … find something that … I knew it was going to be an adjustment. I knew there was an expectation of me to do a certain thing at that point, and I knew I had to get back to what my intentions were from the onset."
