Actually I don't think he looks younger... I think they look about the same age personally.

Ahhh, I was starting to think that perhaps my "judging powers" were getting bad, hah.
Yes, I'm a big DiCaprio fan. He's so cute and adorable, and is very adept at acting. :)

its needed in the movie as rose is a married woman & jack a teenager, so its well justified ...

Rose was not married. Rose was only engaged to Cal. He even calls her his 'wife in training.'

Kate Winslet was 22 at the time of filming. She was born in 1975.
Leo DiCaprio was 23 at the time of filming. He was born in 1974.

I thought that too. Rose looks about 3 to 5 years older than him and the fiance looks like the father of both, but he is taller than her I guess that counts. Or maybe it was his ability to be more mature while maintaining his youthfulness was the alure to her character.

During that time frame, older men often married younger women.
Remember when Rose points out to Jack who JJ and Madelyn Astor were? "That's John Jacob Astor, the richest man on the ship. His little wifey there, Madelyn, is my age and is in a delicate condition. See how she's tryig to hide it? Quite the scandal..."
JJ married a younger woman so she could give him heirs to their fortune. It was very common in those days.

I agree he did look like he was only 16 or so and Kate looked about 19 or 20. It may have also had something to do with how they behaved because Jack obvioulsy behaved in a much less mature fasion and that alone can sometimes make people seem younger than they are!
