I was in school today, and my friend and I were talking when out of the blue we started talking about celebrities, then the name Leonardo DiCaprio came up. She said "Oh.....the racist bastard.......A little after the Titanic movie came out, he had said in a talk show (radio ?) that he would have much prefered to kiss a toilet, than an hispanic girl" Now I barely found this out, and by obvious reasons I'm pretty pissed (not that anyone would care). Now can anyone PLEASE clear this up for me. Is this fact or fiction?

Thank You and Take Care

I honestly doubt Leo would ever say that unless he said "I'm kidding" afterwards. Make sure you see it yourself before you get mad at him, because that could be very well not true. And I'm sure it's not - it would have been a huge dispute when it happened. I was/am a HUGE Leo fanatic around this time, and I have never heard him say anything like that.

Alrighty Thanks!!!

Probably didn’t happen, his career would be over by now, and quite rightly so.

you think thats true?

I don't think he would say that; but I know Elvis said something similar in 1959.

Really??? Gosh why is it that everyone that I grew up admiring all of a sudden turned racist?
What did Elvis say back in '59????

i think that if he said that he didn't mean it. i was watching behing the scenes footage and he said that it was a pleasure doing every scene with Kate and he wouldn't want anybody else to play the part of Rose besides her. So, i don't think that he meant it, if he said it.

Well It was in the News, The Papers & on the Radio here in England and it caused Outrage so Yes I BELEVE it but I don't think this is the correct place to discuss such a subject!

How is this not a correct place to discuss this topic? I'm discussing people that were involved in this film. A little while ago DiCaprio got hit in the head with a bottle and it was discussed. So why is this topic not suitable to be discussed here, when we can discuss why Leo got hit by a bottle? You get me? I'm only asking a question, no need to get scandoulous over a topic.

Now that I got that out of the place.

I can assume thanks to your comment that Leo did say that and therefore is what I think he is. Interesting.

Well thanks for answering to this post. Take Care!
