Leonardo DiCaprio says Kate Winslet is one of his most loyal friends.
The A-list actor got his big break in James Cameron's iconic blockbuster 'Titanic' alongside the British actress 18 years ago and says the pair are close than ever because she is such a "real" person.
Quizzed about Kate always heaping praise on him, Leonardo told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I feel the same about her. It's been fantastic, honestly, having someone who is my age, and such a real woman."
The Oscar-nominated actor admitted he is even letting Kate stay in his house in Los Angeles while he is away.
He added: "Her husband's awesome, the kids are great, but I don't get to see her as much as I wish."
Leonardo also spoke out about the tragic death of fellow Hollywood heavyweight Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead in his New York City apartment last weekend, aged just 46.
He said: "I didn't know him on a personal level, but his work was just astounding. We've lost one of the greats, we really have."
The 39-year-old actor plays debauched stockbroker Jordan Belfort in his latest film, 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and says he had to detach himself from his "personal vanity" to immerse himself in some of the more shocking scenes, which include nudity and narcotics use.
Leonardo explained: "The truth is, I really did everything. It was all me. There were no doubles. Hey, man, I'm playing a modern-day Roman emperor and I'm going to play the hell out of this guy, and anything goes.
"You detach any sense of who you are form the whole process, and just get an excuse to do anything - and so I did! Trust me, there were times when I had to stop and think, 'What am I about to do in this sequence!'
"But then I'd tell myself that I'm playing a character. I'm not going to put my own personal vanity into that process. I did - and showed - whatever I had to."

R. Kelly has allegedly fired his management.
The 'Ignition' hitmaker had signed with artist management firm Red Light Management last year but now the company - which also works with Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys and was founded by Coran Capshaw in 1991 - has reportedly been ditched in favour of Upfront Megatainment owner Devyne Stephens.
An industry insider told the New York Post newspaper: "Kelly hit the management jackpot when he signed with [Coran] Capshaw's company. Leaving Red Light for Stephens would be like quitting the Houston Rockets - or the Yankees - to play for a high-school coach in Podunk. Red Light is furious that Stephens would poach their client. And the company's considering legal action."
Devyne describes himself on his website as a "music mogul" and "extraordinary businessman" who has worked with a string of stars including Gwen Stefani, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey.
While sources claim Devyne had been added to Kelly's team "months ago" others say the 'I Believe I can fly' singer hasn't left Red Light management just yet and is still considering his options.
A different source said: "[Kelly has] gone underground ... he's in a bunker and hasn't been returning calls."

Philip Seymour Hoffman's friends, family and co-stars attended his wake in New York on Thursday (06.02.14). The 46-year-old actor's estranged girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell and the couple's three children Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and Willa, five, paid...

Rob Kardashian doesn't want to get married - because he's scared of getting divorced.
The 26-year-old star - who had a highly-publicised relationship with Rita Ora in 2012 - is afraid of settling down with someone and doesn't want to get hitched in case it didn't work out and he had to go through the courts to separate.
When asked what he was most afraid of, he said: "Probably picking a proper wife and not just rushing something. Actually, I'm probably not afraid of that because I probably just won't get married. But probably like finding the right one, because I don't really believe in divorce, so just finding the right girl."
Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who appears on the show with his sisters Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian - rarely goes out any more to try and find a girlfriend and admits he spends most of his time playing video games long into the night.
Speaking to the Huffington Post as part of its #nofilter series, he said: "I work out at 9.30 or 10 o'clock at night and sometimes I just keep going. I've never been a big sleeper. Me and all my buddies we don't really ever sleep that much. We're not partying either, we just don't sleep. We'd rather work on other things or do other things."

Jay Leno has filmed his last ever episode of 'The Tonight Show'.
The TV host wrapped filming on the chat show last night after over 20 years at its helm last night (06.02.14) and fought back tears as he thanked viewers for their loyalty.
He said towards the end of the show: "Boy this is the hard part ... The first year of this show I lost my mom; the second year I lost my dad. Then my brother died and after that I was pretty much out of family.
"The folks here became my family. When people say to me, 'Hey, why don't you go to ABC, why don't you go to Fox?' - [but] I didn't know anybody over there. These are the only people I know."
The 63-year-old funny man was joined by a galaxy of stars for his last ever broadcast at the Burbank Studios in California, including Kim Kardashian and Billy Crystal, who led everyone in a comedic rendition of The Sound of Music's 'So Long, Farewell' along with Jack Black, 'The Big Bang Theory' star Jim Parsons and chat show legend Oprah Winfrey, who warbled the line "you really raised the bar if you were me you'd buy them all a car".
Sheryl Crow came out at the end to finish the song.
During his opening monologue, Leno referenced his 22 years at the helm of the programme, saying: "Tonight is our last show for real. See I don't need to be fired three times, I get the hint. Being together all these years, it's kind of like graduating high school. A high school for very stupid people that have been together for 22 years ... You know, 22 years, that's a long time. Here's how long ago it was. When I started hosting marijuana was illegal and you could smoke cigarettes anywhere you wanted; 22 years ago there was no Craigslist, serial killers had to meet their victims the old fashioned way, at a bus station at midnight; 22 years ago guys actually had to go to the news stand for porn. Can you imagine, you had to pay for it! You know the saddest part of all, OJ (Simpson) never found the real killers ... When I started Justin Bieber wasn't even born yet, that's why we called it the good old days."
Many of the guests took to Twitter to thank the host for having them on his last ever show.
Kim tweeted: "What an amazing night! Honored to be a part of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on his last show with Sheryl Crow, Carol Burnett, Oprah, Jack Black, Chris Paul, Billy Crystal & Jim Parsons. THANK YOU. (sic0
'Soak Up the Sun' singer Sheryl also took to the social networking site prior to her appearance on 'The Tonight Show', saying: "Excited to be a part of @jayleno 's last #TonightShow tonite! We will miss you, Jay! (sic)"
Jimmy Fallon will take over presenting duties on 'The Tonight Show' from next week.

Russell Brand has called for a reform of drug laws following Philip Seymour Hoffman's death.
The Oscar-winning actor tragically died in his New York City apartment over the weekend after experiencing a relapse, and Brand - who himself has battled drug addiction and alcoholism in the past - believes he is a "victim" of laws that "criminalise drug addicts".
The 38-year-old comedian-turned-political activist believes addiction is a "mental illness" and should be treated as a medical condition in order to prevent tragedies such as Hoffman's death from a suspected heroin overdose
In an article written for The Guardian newspaper, he stated: "Addiction is a mental illness around which there is a great deal of confusion, which is hugely exacerbated by the laws that criminalise drug addicts.
"If drugs are illegal people who use drugs are criminals. We have set our moral compass on this erroneous premise, and we have strayed so far off course that the landscape we now inhabit provides us with no solutions and greatly increases the problem.
"People are going to use drugs; no self-respecting drug addict is even remotely deterred by prohibition."
Brand believes the 'Capote' actor - who was allegedly found with a syringe of heroin in his arm at his West Village home in New York City - may not have succumbed to his addiction if there was more help on offer.
The 'Get Him to the Greek' star said: "Philip Seymour Hoffman's death is a reminder, though, that addiction is indiscriminate. That it is sad, irrational and hard to understand. Would Hoffman have died if this disease were not so enmeshed in stigma? If we weren't invited to believe that people who suffer from addiction deserve to suffer? Would he have OD'd if drugs were regulated, controlled and professionally administered?"

Enrique Iglesias has never dabbled in drugs.
The 'Hero' hitmaker claims he's never been tempted to try an illegal substance, despite being surrounded by people in the industry that regularly snort cocaine.
He said: "I was never tempted by drugs. The amount of times I've been asked, 'You don't do coke? But you're in music.
"You really don't do coke?'
"I don't like sticking stuff up my nose. Get me a drink, get me a rum. I drink, I'm a social drinker but I feel like I can control it.
"There are friends of mine who go out at the weekend and do a lot of cocaine and do any drug and be perfectly fine throughout the week.
"But some others can't do that. I need my eight hours' sleep, that's for sure."
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old singer believes Justin Bieber,19 - who was arrested last month for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest in Miami - is just being young and experimenting with life.
However, the hunky star insists the troubled teen needs to surround himself with supportive people before things get too far.
He explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's common in this business that there are just, 'yes, yes' people and you need people that are not afraid of telling you 'no'.
"You need to be told you made a mistake. That's crucial.
"You can't believe your own hype because in showbusiness there are moments where that can happen."

Allison Williams would love to be a mother.
The 26-year-old actress is keen to set herself up with a career that she can balance equally with motherhood because she doesn't want to sacrifice precious time with her children for her job.
Speaking in the March issue of US Glamour magazine, she said: "My goal is to create a career I can walk away from and become a mom. I'd love to be a mom -- and not have to bring my kids into my trailer . . . Or a balance [of both]. But you gotta call it on the fly to a certain extent."
However, the 'Girls' star - who plays uptight Marnie Michaels in the hit HBO show - isn't ready to throw her acting career away for something more family-friendly just yet as she has a list of character she'd like to play first.
She said recently: "I want to play a villain. I want to play a romantic heroine. I want to play someone who's on heroin. There's nothing I don't want to do. I want to play a guy at some point. I'll gain 100lbs, I'll cut my hair off, I'll do whatever. I'm not precious about any of it."

One Direction have been given a year's worth of free cab journeys from a London minicab firm.
The boy band mention Addison Lee in their hit single 'Midnight Memories' when they sing "Way too many people in the Addison Lee", and the company were delighted to receive free publicity from one of the most popular boy bands around.
They were inspired by Louis Tomlinson after he took to Twitter this weekend (01.02.14) urging the firm to arrange some kind of deal following the "name drop".
He wrote: "Surely we get some kind of @AddisonLeeCabs gold card for the name drop haha !!?? (sic)"
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Addison Lee were delighted to be mentioned in the song. They even tried to see how many people you could actually fit in one of their cabs off the back of it.
"So they were more than happy to give something in return. Thanks to Louis, they came up with the idea of giving them a year's worth of free cab journeys."
1D - which also includes Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Harry Styles - were catapulted to the spotlight following their success on singing contest 'X Factor' in 2010 which is when they began using Addison Lee.
The source added: "One Direction have used Add Lees since they were on the 'X Factor', and continued to use the company after they were signed.
"They actually ended up using the same driver quite often, so they took him to Wembley one week to thank him for ferrying them around.
"Lots of the 'X Factor' alumni are still customers of the cab company.
"They've been looking at coming up with a celebrity scheme like this for a while, so the boys ­actually catapulted them into action."
