Enjoying some time abroad, Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted making the ladies swoon at the “Body of Lies” premiere in Paris, France last night (November 3).

The “Blood Diamond” stud arrived on the red carpet outside the Gaumont Marignan Cinema looking fantastic in a charcoal grey suit with matching tie and shiny black leather shoes.

In a recent interview, Leo’s co-star Oscar Isaac gave away the secret to getting close to Mr. DeiCaprio - beating him at X-Box!

“That’s easy, he’s a pushover. Just play Xbox. Just beat him at some Xbox games. I think it depends on the game. I’m a good Halo player, and he’s good at all the other ones, so I would say we’re evenly matched.”

Kate Winslet struggled with her weight as a teenager - and the successful star and fashion icon says she still sometimes has doubts about her body.

“I never had a desire to be famous,” Winslet, 31, says in a new Vanity Fair interview. “I was fat. I didn’t know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I’m being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid.”

Luckily, Winslet did not let her insecurities get the best of her. In fact, she set a record as the youngest actress to earn five Oscar nominations. But despite her professional successes, Winslet tells the magazine she still can be self-critical.

“But then I think, ‘They can’t be happy in those heels,’” she says.

So, what makes Winslet happy?

“I need to be looked after,” she says. “I need someone to say to me, ‘Shall I run you a bath?’ or ‘Let’s go to the pub, just us.’ I mean, the things that make me happiest in the whole world are going on the occasional picnic, either with my children or with my partner.

The actress and her director husband Sam Mendes wed in 2003, and have a son, Joe, 5, together. Winslet has a daughter, Mia, 8, from a previous relationship.

Reuniting With Leo

Her latest project, Revolutionary Road, due in theaters in late December, allowed Winslet to collaborate with her husband for the first time. Mendes directed his wife in the period film, which also reunited her with Titanic costar Leonardo DiCaprio.

“Leo and I, you know, are sort of kindred spirits,” Winslet says. “We’re cut from the same cloth.”

DiCaprio also has high praise for Winslet, saying, “Kate is the most talented actress of her generation.”

Winslet has already earned Oscar buzz for her role in the film. And she may double her chances a sixth nomination with her second anticipated film this fall, The Reader, due out Dec. 12.

“How the hell did I get that lucky %26#91;to have two compelling roles%26#93; in the same 12-month period?,” she says. “It’s really rare and remarkable, and I don’t take that position lightly. It might not happen like that again; I’m well aware of that. You know, the truth is, I’m just going to bloody well make the most of it.”

Stepping out for the day, Kate Winslet was spotted hailing a cab in the Meatpacking District of Manhattan on Monday (November 3).

The award winning actress is currently enjoying a little downtime before she gears up to promote “Revolutionary Road” alongside co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in a few short months.

Meanwhile, Miss Winslet recently opened up to Vanity Fair about being overweight as a child, saying, “This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions - never. I was fat. I didn’t know any fat famous actresses.”

The “Titanic” beauty continues, “I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I’m being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else.”

He’s an international superstar, known the world over for his superior acting skills, and earlier today Leonardo DiCaprio was in Paris, France promoting his latest movie.

The “Titanic” stud was spotted at a photo call for the French premiere of “Body of Lies,” in which he stars alongside Russell Crowe as a CIA operative in pursuit of a major terrorist leader suspected to be operating out of Jordan.

As for this year’s Oscar race, DiCaprio will be up against Brad Pitt for Best Actor. And according to the Hollywood Reporter, it’s a dead heat.

“Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt almost certainly are strong contenders in the best actor category — shining, word has it, in their respective upcoming movies, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Revolutionary Road. But they and others might be up against a subtle force they can do little about in the best actor race: Oscar voters tend to favor actors playing real people.”

their food. “They were very cute,” the diner tells us. “After dinner they

even skipped down the sidewalk together as they left.” Calls to Underwood’s rep were not immediately returned.

people around at other tables,” the source says. “Every time they got up,

table. Soon, a waitress gave sparklers to the table - a signal

Once the poster child against romance - professing he feels “few emotions,” has “never been in love” and “does not believe in marriage” - Leonardo DiCaprio is now singing a different tune.

“I want to get married and have children,” the star of the upcoming Body of Lies and Revolutionary Road, 33, tells Parade. “In saying that, I realize I am contradicting everything I’ve said before. I absolutely believe in marriage.”

Linked for the past two years with 23-year-old Israeli model Bar Refaeli - in a relationship that has run both hot and cold - DiCaprio says, “What I definitely feel a need for is to make my life about more than just my career. Just last night I was thinking to myself how little of my life has been lived normally and not spent on some far-off movie location.”

Looking for Love

A one-time child model and actor (Growing Pains), DiCaprio says, “My parents never tried to steer me in any direction. I wanted to be an actor, but I never thought it was a real possibility, ever. I thought I’d be a marine biologist, because nature and evolution fascinated me.”

His reason for entering the profession, he admits, was because “%26#91;w%26#93;e’re all after love, aren’t we? Love is what people are hungry for. That’s absolutely why I became an actor.”

And, having starred in the most successful box-office hit of all time, 1997’s Titanic, a reflective DiCaprio (who is also lamenting the recent loss of his beloved grandmother, Oma), says, “I do appreciate it. I know how lucky I am.”

He adds, “I hope I never get cynical. I think you need youthful energy, excitement and optimism in life. There is a lot I want to do, and the more cynical you become, the more you sit on your butt and do nothing.”

Emphasizing what he finds important, DiCaprio lists family and environment, then says, “What I want is to be known as someone who stood for something.”

You may remember them in an intimate shipboard romance called Titanic. Now, 11 years later, Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet again share the screen in Revolutionary Road, whose trailer has just debuted, prior to the movie’s year-end release.

The marital drama, directed by American Beauty’s Sam Mendes (who is married to Winslet), is based on Richard Yates’s acclaimed 1961 novel, about a suburban Connecticut couple’s romantic ambitions - and harsh realities.

With Gisele Bündchen out of the picture since November, Leonardo DiCaprio has been quietly seeing another babelicious blonde - 20-year-old Israeli swimsuit model Bar Refaeli.

DiCaprio, who has been filming the drama The Blood Diamond in Africa for the past few months, met up with Refaeli in Paris for a romantic getaway last weekend. (The two had also rendezvoused there in January.)

The couple held hands while strolling along the Champs-Elysées, window-shopping along Avenue Montaigne and noshing at a Lebanese restaurant. Said one observer at the eatery: “They were very close to each other. They seemed to enjoy being together very much.”

DiCaprio’s rep had no comment.
