Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio has compared fame to a “runaway train”.

Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio has compared fame to a “runaway train”.Leonardo DiCaprio has admitted he had a false sense of importance after becoming world famous by starring in Titanic. “Titanic began a period of rebellion for me,” Leo told Contact Music. "As soon as people give you enough compliments and you suddenly have more power than you've ever had in your entire life, it's not that you become an arrogant p***k, or you become rude to people, but you get a false sense of your own importance. You're treading in dangerous territory when you begin thinking you've altered the course of history. It was like a runaway train. I didn't understand what was happening to me."
