Director James Cameron admitted that he encouraged actor Leonardo DiCaprio to sing the iconic phrase “I am the king of the world” in a scene from “Titanic.” writes about it Screen Rent.
The cinematographer said that initially he asked the artist to howl like a wolf, but after ten shots the crew did not achieve the desired result – they failed to find a scene that would reflect the character of DiCaprio’s protagonist, Jack. At that moment, Cameron came up with the idea to ask the actor to utter the phrase “I am the king of the world”, which later became iconic.
“He hasn’t got a dime in his pocket. He won his goddamn ticket at a poker game. He lives carefree without illusions. He met [лучшего друга] Fabrizio [сыгранного Дэнни Нуччи]and they are just having fun. It was an expression of his life and vital spirit that seemed unquenchable and powerful,” said Cameron.
Previously Cameron hired a coroner to prove that Jack died on the Titanic.
