Chase Infiniti may be sharing the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in her latest film, but even she admits she hadn’t seen one of his most famous movies until fairly recently. The One Battle After Another star opened up about her early conversations with DiCaprio, the surprising gap in her movie-watching history, and why one of his other films has always meant more to her.
Chase Infiniti reveals which Leonardo DiCaprio movie she didn’t see until recently
While talking with PEOPLE, Chase Infiniti revealed a surprising confession that she didn’t watch Titanic until just last year. The iconic 1997 Leo DiCaprio classic somehow slipped past her for decades. Speaking ahead of the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards on January 10, 2026, she laughed it off, saying, “Do you know what’s crazy? I didn’t watch Titanic until last year. I had not seen it.”
Instead, the DiCaprio movie that really stuck with her while growing up was Catch Me If You Can. The 2002 Steven Spielberg film, where Leo plays real-life con man Frank Abagnale Jr. opposite Tom Hanks, was her go-to. “That’s the Leo film for me, she said, adding that she watched it when she was younger and still absolutely loves it.
That mutual love for Catch Me If You Can even helped break the ice between Chase Infiniti and Leonardo DiCaprio on set. While filming One Battle After Another, the movie became one of their first real conversations.
Infiniti plays Willa, the daughter of revolutionaries played by DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor in the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed film. She shared that conversing about the movie and even its stage musical version came up naturally while they were working together.
Infiniti also opened up about going through a long audition process that stretched nearly five to six months. She first sent in a self-tape while she was busy shooting her screen debut in Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent.
Walking into meetings with DiCaprio and director Paul Thomas Anderson could’ve been nerve-racking. In a sit-down with Today Infiniti said both were “so kind,” adding that she’s “so grateful for the entire experience.”
