DiCaprio, 33, plays Frank Wheeler while 32-year-old Winslet, is his wife, April, in the New York and Connecticut-based film.

It is the first time the actors have appeared opposite each other since the blockbuster Titanic, which was released in the UK ten years ago.
The film, directed by Winslet's husband Sam Mendes, is due for release in the US on December 26 and in the UK on January 30 next year.
Winslet – who has been nominated for an Oscar five times - recently told how being directed in sex scenes by her husband was a strange experience.
She told Entertainment Weekly magazine earlier this year: ‘I just kept saying, "This is too...weird."
‘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."
