Zane continued talking about DiCaprio’s
work and mentioned, “And he just gets better. It’s so good to see his work. Everyone in that film is great.”
In the same conversation, he recalled the several times they had previously met and spent time. The actor reflected, “And reuniting with him on the red carpet at the Chinese. I’m sure we’ve seen each other plenty since the film, but not since, I think it was our premiere [of Titanic] had we spent time in front of that building, and that’s what I guess lit up a lot of people.”
