Kate Winslet shares a special bond with her ‘Titanic’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Their love will go on.

Though Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s onscreen romances have always ended in tragedy – at least in the movies they have starred together so far – the two actors have nothing but love for one another off the set.

The British actress had only kind words about DiCaprio during a recent interview. When a reporter asked if she preferred her latest co-star, Theo James’s character over Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack in ‘Titanic’, the Oscar winner quickly made her decision, saying that there was absolutely no competition between the given leading men.

`Leo is the love of my life,` she told, before adding, `How could you possibly ask me that question? If I said Theo over Leo, he would never stay the night at his house ever again. Ever. No, he can’t have that.`

These two indeed go back a long way.

When Kate Winslet takes a role, she really commits.

Just take her role in Divergent, for which Winslet did her own stunts – even as she was pregnant with her third child.

The 38-year-old actress’s hands-on approach was the topic of discussion at the film’s world premiere Tuesday in Los Angeles, where Divergent author Veronica Roth and the film’s director, Neil Burger, spoke out about the Winslet, who stars opposite Shailene Woodley.

“It’s pretty funny because she was pregnant when we were shooting, but she wanted to do her own stunt falls,” Roth told PEOPLE. “She did a couple. She’s you know, very careful about it, and then finally Neil Burger was like, ‘Okay I’m too nervous – you can’t do this anymore.’ ”

Added Roth, with a laugh: “She was like, you know, taking-charge lady – she powers through. It’s really impressive.”

Burger agreed that Winslet was unflinching about her role, even when she revealed to him the news that she was pregnant. Here are More hints that you can get from a gynecologist while making a decision.

“We had to refit all of her wardrobe, but then there is a scene where she fights Shailene and she was like, you know, taking the falls and I’m like, ‘Stop, you’re pregnant.’ But she was still wanting to do it with as much action,” Burger told PEOPLE. “She’s a committed actress and she’s a committed mother, too. But she is just completely there, and you kind of just have to stop her.”

That moxie, he said, is why Winslet remains a down-to-earth but world-class actress.

“She really is, from my mind, the best actress of her generation, and … there’s a reason. She’s a pro. She’s completely present.”

Kate will be on Ellen on March 18!

The Oscar-winning actress said she was thankful that she had been able to “remain sane” herself, despite rising to fame as a teenager

Kate Winslet has told of her concerns over young stars including Miley Cyrus, who appear to have “lost their way”.

The Oscar-winning actress said she was thankful that she had been able to “remain sane” herself, despite rising to fame as a teenager.

“You hear horror stories where you think, ‘God, who’s looking after these people and why does it seem like they’re losing their way?’’ she said.

“I mean, you think about someone like Miley Cyrus , and I said to my daughter the other day, ‘I’m this close to opening my mouth about what’s going on with that girl’. Who is actually saying, ‘Stop for a second, what do you want, who are you?’

“I’ve just been very lucky that I’ve always been quite comfortable with who I am. Sometimes people ask, ‘What do you wish for your children?’ and all I say is, ‘I want them to be happy being them’.”

Kate, 38, said she was thankful her fame came before the rise of social media, which has made it much harder for the next generation.

“It’s really rough now. I think, for young actors, actresses and pop stars, it’s a nightmare. They can’t do anything. I’m so not going near that whole world – I don’t need it. I do feel incredibly lucky.”

But the mum-of-three confessed that she was frightened by the impact of the internet on her kids, Mia, 13, Joe, 10, and newborn baby Bear.

“We live in a world where we have to be aware of all this stuff, unfortunately. And it’s feeding this young generation in a way that’s beyond terrifying, so normal friendships aren’t even normal friendships any more because, half the time, they seem to be forging relationships with people they’ve never met.”

The actress, who married Richard Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll a year ago, said they enjoyed an entirely normal life at their home in West Sussex.

“People say to me, ‘You cook?’ and I’m like, ‘Who else is going to f****** cook?’ It’s funny, this notion that when you become a famous person, you stop doing normal things. Maybe some people do, but I think I’d be so unhappy if I didn’t do it.”

She said that third husband Ned was a fantastic partner and father.

“Ned is absolutely incredible and he looks after us all. In fact, the other day Joe asked, ‘How come there are no other dads on the school run?’ And we both went, ‘It’s because this is the way we’re doing it.’ The kids really love that.”

Winslet also revealed that she imagined a “life on the breadline” after deciding to become an actress. The Titanic star admitted in Psychologies magazine: “I saw a life on the breadline, trotting around London, hopefully going for lots of auditions.

“I grew up in a family of people who would have a party if someone even had an audition, so when I was that girl running around town with my bag and my script pages, it was amazing. That was the life I imagined.

“It’s the reason I think I’ve been able to remain sane.”

Kate, who won her Academy Award for The Reader, said she wants look good but draws the line at surgery or botox.

“It’s my face. I just wouldn’t want to do that to myself. I care about myself and there are other ways of caring about one’s appearance that don’t involve injections and being carved up.”

She also felt that it would ruin her ability to act. “I think I’d feel a bit dishonest if I was making my face do less. I don’t know how I’d be able to do my job.”

Leo DiCaprio’s The Wolf of Wall Street, which opened on Dec. 25 and has grossed about $34 million to date, has divided critics. Is it a ludicrously funny romp about greed and decadence, or does it glorify the very abysmal things it depicts?

You be the judge.

However, DiCaprio, ever the perfectionist, really did spend time on Wall Street, on trading floors, observing the type of people who populate the film.

“I wasn’t incognito. I couldn’t be. I was there, walking around,” he told us, admitting that he’s too tall and too famous to really be undercover.

So did he meet real-life Jordan Belforts, guys for whom money is everything? Sure. But, says DiCaprio, “There’s a lot of guys that are doing a lot of great stuff and are responsible.”

We did have to tell DiCaprio that even though he’s mighty impressive as Belfort, we kept thinking of him as his pal Kate Winslet has described him in interviews: “farty Leo.” That elicited deep belly laughs from DiCaprio, who co-starred with Winslet in Titanic.

“She never says that to my face. She’s the greatest person. She’s so genuine. I love that girl. She has a brand-new baby and is in love,” he says of Winslet, who just gave birth to her third child, son Bear.
