Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane had a memorable meeting after 28 years at the One Battle After Another premiere
That moment at Hollywood Hills
On the evening of September 8, 2025, Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane’s reunion on the One Battle After Another premiere red carpet was worth seeing.
After 28 years, the Titanic’s kings posed together again and got lost in the flashes of the cameras.
Titanic’s famous characters
In 1997, Leonardo played the role of Jack, while Billy played the arrogant role of Cal Hockley.
The on-screen chemistry of the two made the hearts of Rose (Kate Winslet) forever memorable.
Photos and reactions
Playmaker Jay L. Clendenin took pictures of the two together, in which the old friendship was visible on their faces.
Fans expressed excitement on seeing these pictures on social media and #TitanicReunion started trending.
James Cameron’s revelation
Titanic director James Cameron told the Golden Globes 2023 that he had to work hard to convince Leonardo to play Jack.
DiCaprio initially found the lead role less interesting, but Cameron made him feel the challenge — and then history was made.
What changed in 28 years
Leonardo’s career took off after Titanic.
He got nominated for an Oscar five times and won it in 2016 with The Revenant.
On the other hand, Billy Zane did projects like The Believer, Charmed, Community, The Boys, as well as Chicago on Broadway.
Both actors came out with new colors over time.
On track now
Billy Zane’s next film, Waltzing with Brand, will be released on September 19.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another will hit theaters on September 26.
Both projects promise a tense and gripping story.
