Kate: New love scene with Leo was 'weird'

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- British actress Kate Winslet admits filming a love scene for "Revolutionary Road" in front of her director husband Sam Mendes was "weird."

In Mendes' upcoming big-screen adaptation of Richard Yates's 1961 novel, Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio play a married suburban couple. Winslet and DiCaprio famously played doomed lovers in the 1997 romantic blockbuster "Titanic," as well.

Usmagazine.com said Winslet talked to Entertainment Weekly about what it was like working with DiCaprio again and having her husband direct her in a sex scene with him.

"I just kept saying, 'This is too ... weird,'" Winslet told Entertainment Weekly. "And Leo was like, 'Oh, get over it.' And I'm going: 'Yeah, a little reminder: You're my best friend. He's my husband. This is a bit weird.'"

Winslet said she was happy to see she and DiCaprio still work well together.

"I hadn't realized how much my chemistry with him since 'Titanic' would still stick," she said. "It's great to discover we can just slip right into it, like muscle memory."

Winslet has starred in the films "Little Children," "Sense and Sensibility" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

DiCaprio has headlined the movies "Gangs of New York," "Blood Diamond" and "The Departed."
