Ethan Hawke says he's relieved he didn't land iconic Leonardo DiCaprio role
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Ethan Hawke is grateful that he did not land Leonardo DiCaprio's breakthrough role as Jack Dawson in Titanic because he does not believe he would have handled the success. The Dead Poets Society star, 54, auditioned for the 1997 movie, which went on to break records and secure 11 Oscars including for Best Picture and Best Director. Hawke was ultimately unsuccessful as the role was given to a 21-year-old DiCaprio."

The 1997 movie broke records and won 11 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. Hawke says he never self-identified as a movie star and found tabloid scrutiny uncomfortable. He described fame as humiliating, even when the attention was positive, and contrasted his response with DiCaprio's ability to manage intense public scrutiny.
