i dont think he should be sorry. and by the way, the italian job is a pretty good movie. but he makes pretty good money of his movies and as far as i know, they are neither low budget movies or very, very successful as titanic was. he is in between. what could he possibly want? (other than that)

Leo is hardly the first actor to have seemingly negative consequences from having a major success. A lot of actors have wrecked their credibility and blown good opportunities by starring in big budget mainstream movies. Look at what has happened to Nick Cage's career. He started out in interesting offbeat roles and now he just churns out predictable schlock (except for Adaptation which was brilliant.)

I wonder if Leo wishes he had taken the road that Johnny Depp has with his films. Leo still can - he's smart, talented, good looking and rich. There's no excuse for him to not make the films he wants to make. I'm glad he starred in Titanic though, it wouldn't have been as fun if he wasn't in the movie. He's no Dirk Diggler, that's for damn sure.

So he rather have had Boogie Nights and Mark Wahlberg's career?... Planet of the Apes? The Italian Job?

Come Leo, quit whining, Titanic was great and you are not "cool" by saying it isn't.

Leonardo DiCaprio says he now regrets accepting the role in Titanic that brought him fame and notoriety. In an interview that will appear in the December issue of Vanity Fair, DiCaprio says that he wishes that he had instead accepted the role of a porn star in Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights that eventually went to Mark Wahlberg. He said that the public attention that accompanied his success wrecked his ability to land offbeat roles. "It's a really obvious thing to say, but the more people know too much about who you really are, and it's a fundamental thing, the more the mystery is taken away from the artist, and the harder it is for people to believe that person in a particular role," DiCaprio remarks in the magazine interview.
