Actress Kate Winslet said shooting a sex scene with her good friend and "Titanic" lover Leonardo DiCaprio was "weird."  Making it even more uncomfortable was the fact that Kate’s real-life husband was directing the scene.  Winslet and DiCaprio are filming their new movie "Revolutionary Road," and Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes is directing.

"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.’"

Mendes, married to Winslet since 2003, told EW, "I will admit it was quite bizarre to direct my wife in how to make love.  But it’s difficult whether you’re married to a person or not."

Apparently the on-screen chemistry between the two stars hasn’t faded.  "I hadn’t realized how much my chemistry with him since ‘Titanic’ would still stick," Winslet said about DiCaprio.  "It’s great to discover we can just slip right into it, like muscle memory."  It’s just like riding a bike… or perhaps the bow of a ship.
