On December 19, 1997, James Cameron’s new film Titanic was released in theaters. A whole 24 years ago! And during this time, only two films managed to beat it at the box office. Only one film managed to receive as many Oscar statuettes, and not a single film could take away the title of best romantic film from Titanic. And the influence of Cameron’s film on popular culture is difficult to assess. The actors of “Titanic” remained forever in the hearts of the audience, but in real life, each of them had their own path. Let’s find out what happened to our favorite heroes.

Actors of “Titanic” after 24 years
Leonardo DiCaprio
Even before Titanic, Leo was competing for an Oscar, but it was Cameron’s film that opened the door to big cinema for him. Since then, the actor has never left the big screen, having played in dozens of different films. And Leo received his statuette only in 2016. Now the actor is actively involved in charitable foundations, mostly working on environmental projects.

Kate Winslet
For the actress, Titanic became a springboard that revealed her talent to the whole world. The film also brought her first ever Oscar nomination, but Kate received the coveted statuette only in 2009. For more than two decades, Winslet has remained one of the most sought-after and talented actresses. The years have not been kind to Kate, but she is not afraid to show her real self on screen, preferring to always look natural.

Billy Zane
Both before and after Titanic, the actor preferred to play negative characters, but he did not receive any big offers even after Cameron’s film. Billy’s filmography is not that small, but he doesn’t have any other equally large works. But the actor received an award from MTV as the best movie villain.

Jonathan Hyde
His filmography is full of supporting roles, among which The Mummy, Jumanji and Richie Rich stand out the most. Despite his short screen time, Hyde always knew how to make his role memorable. Over the years, the man devoted himself more and more to the theater, and now he no longer plays in films. Today Jonathan Hyde can be seen at the Theater Royal, Windsor.

Kathy Bates
Even before Titanic, she proved more than once that she is a talented actress. Alas, in subsequent years, Bates’s career was overshadowed by health problems: she went through two oncologies and multiple complications after them, but managed to get back on her feet. The actress calls herself lucky and now helps various charities.

Bernard Hill
Hill is the only actor in history to appear in more than one film to win 11 Oscars. After all, after Titanic, Peter Jackson invited him to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, where he played King Theoden. Subsequently, Bernard played in several more films, but without great success.

Victor Garber
What a jack of all trades! Garber’s filmography includes many interesting films, but his television career is even more impressive. In addition, it is worth considering that the actor has a 20-year successful career on Broadway, where he played in the most popular musicals. Although it seems that the man himself is much more interested in playing in rom-coms.

Danny Nucci
As in the film, Danny is an Italian migrant. But even the role in Titanic did not allow the man to start a successful career. His filmography includes many minor roles, among which there are almost no major and successful projects. The actor is currently filming the series “911” for Fox.

Susie Amis
But, perhaps, for whom the Titanic became literally fateful. After all, it was during filming that the actress met James Cameron, and three years later she became his wife. The couple is still together and has three children.
