Ethan Hawke Relieved To Fail To Play A Role, Losing To Leonardo DiCaprio

JAKARTA - Ethan Hawke expressed his relief when he failed to get a role in the 1997 filmition. He is known to have auditioned to play Jack Dawson.

He failed because of Jack Dawson's role because the role was obtained by Leonardo DiCaprio. My film was one of the most successful films of director James Cameron and has become iconic to date.

Recently, Hawke felt grateful that he did not get the role even though he was already known for several of his films in the '90s'. He felt unable to handle the popularity as massively as DiCaprio received.

"I don't think I will be able to face success as well as Leo. He's really amazing," said Ethan Hawke, as reported by GQ.

"I never thought of myself as a film star, too allergic to it. Making a profit from my name's trademark rights, it wasn't part of my dream," he said separately.

Apart from Ethan Hawke, several actors revealed that they had auditioned for the film airing, including Corey Feldman, Matthew McConaughey, Jon Landau, and others.

James Cameron also once said Leonardo DiCaprio almost missed the audition because he didn't want to do a test with Kate Winslet.

On the other hand, Ethan Hawke returns to acting with his latest film, Black Phone 2 which will air this year.
