Leo fought for Claire

Claire Danes won the role of Juliet after she proved her maturity next to Leonardo DiCaprio.

He claimed that she was the only actress that was able to look him in the eye during her line delivery and did not try to flirt with him.

DiCaprio said: “When we were doing the scene where we were supposed to be together, she came right up to me and looked me right in the eye and starting doing her lines.”
