Leonardo DiCaprio refuses to have a joint 40th birthday party with Kate Winslet.
The ‘Divergent’ star – who will celebrate the milestone in October 2015 – has been close friends with the actor for almost 20 years and he even walked her down the aisle during her secret wedding to Ned Rocknroll in 2012, but she admits he likes to be the centre of attention so will host his own bash when he turns 40 next month.
She told the November issue of Marie Claire magazine: ”He’s 40 this year and I’m 40 next – that’s weird. Isn’t that weird?
”He wouldn’t have a joint party with me, he really wouldn’t. Definitely not. He likes to have his moments… but also I don’t think I’d want to have a joint party with him, more to the b**ody point!”
But Kate insists they are still best friends and formed a close bond because they ”needed each other” when they first found fame after co-starring in ‘Titanic’ in 1997.
She said: ”I think the reason that friendship works is because there was never any romantic thing.
”He always saw me as one of the boys; I’ve never really been a girly-girl.
”We needed each other to lean on because we were very young and working all kinds of crazy bl**dy hours and it was a shock to the system.”
