Titanic fans will know that it's been 20 years since the iconic film was released.

James Cameron's 1997 hit, which made well over £2 billion at the Box Office, scooped 11 Oscars, and launched Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio to the highest echelons of Hollywood, really does go on.

After two decades, Titanic is trending on UK Netflix. It doesn't even seem all that dated.

And we remain enchanted by the love story that at times appears (people weirdly hope, don't they) to trickle into reality.

For its two stars, Kate and Leo, the film was an "experiment". Until then, they had only really worked on independent pictures.

According to a Deadline interview, Kate persuaded an uncertain Leo to take on the role. And then she found out about that famous nude drawing scene – the first act they filmed together.

To break the ice (excuse the pun), Kate apparently flashed Leo when they met on set for the first time. The fact appears alongside a host of others on IMDB. Some suggest it was the first time they'd ever met, full stop. Unlikely.

True or not, the two remain the closest of friends, and we can't help but find ourselves amused at the idea of such an introduction. The best relationships do usually start with funny moments.

Just don't be a creep and ask Kate to sign one of the printed copies of the drawing 'Leo' does of her in the film – it still "haunts" her.

Not that Leo actually drew it – director James Cameron did.
