Kate
Winslet
has
praised
actor
and
close
pal
Leonardo
DiCaprio
for
helping
her
during
the
bad
times.
The
actress,
who
separated
from
director
Sam
Mendes
in
March
2010,
has
said
that
the
actor
stood
behind
her
and
supported
her
post-split.
Kate
Winslet
revealed
that
Leonardo
DiCaprio
used
to
lift
her
spirits,
when
she
was
down.
The
actress
also
adds
that
they
share
their
experiences
and
respect
each
other.
She
also
declared
that
the
actor
knows
her
better
than
anyone
else
in
the
world
"He
knows
me
better
than
anyone
else
in
the
world.
Lots
of
male
friendships
begin
as
a
cheeky
snog.
Or
a
little
undercurrent
of
flirtation.
But
Leo
and
I?
No.
He's
my
rock," Contactmusic
quoted
her,
as
telling
Vogue
magazine.
However,
she
is
eagerly
waiting
for
Mildred
Pierce,
a
five-part
mini-series
due
for
broadcast
by
HBO
on
27
March
2011.
Her
next
venture
Contagion
will
hit
the
screens
on
October
21,
2011.
