Leonardo DiCaprio was not the first choice for "Titanic"
Jeremy Sisto, the actor who first passed the test for the role of Jack in the famous movie, 18 years later told what happened
Although Leonardo DiCaprio gained international fame thanks to his portrayal of Jack in the movie "Titanic", several actors passed the test for this role before him. One of them was Jeremy Sisto, who even recorded a camera test (which is part of the official DVD of the tape) with Kate Winslet, who finally got the role of Rose.
Almost two decades after the premiere of "Titanic", Jeremy Sisto, who is promoting his participation in the series "The Returned", spoke about the important role he lost and what the choice of Leonardo DiCaprio meant for him.
"(Titanic) was one of the many, many, jobs that I didn't get ... but it's always good to see a movie that in a parallel universe you would have (starred in). It's a bit embarrassing to reveal this flaw, but I wouldn't have liked it Titanic fans will be deprived of (Leonardo DiCaprio's performance), "Sisto stated during an interview with" Huffington Post. "
The actor, who acknowledged that not getting the role left him with a "broken heart", also told how was the reading that he did next to Kate Winslet.
"I read (the script) with Kate, as well as three other actresses. I was so inspired for that role ... it broke my heart a little not to get the part," he recounted.

Although Jeremy Sisto did not get to be part of the cast of "Titanc", he was chosen to star alongside Alicia Silverstone in another 90s classic, "Clueless."
When asked about this role, the actor said that he came to a standstill as a result of his success.
"I worry about having to stop acting. I was very afraid of what would happen next. But I am very proud to have been part of a film that was so important to the youth of so many people," he said.
