Actor RUSSELL CROWE was concerned for his pal LEONARDO DiCAPRIO
after his appearance in hit movie TITANIC - in case life in the
spotlight ruined him.

Gladiator star Crowe met DiCaprio when they filmed Western movie The Quick and the Dead in the early 1990s.

The two actors were both relatively unknown at the time, and became firm friends on set.

DiCaprio later shot to global superstardom as Jack Dawson in
Oscar-winning 1997 movie Titanic - and Crowe admits he feared the young
actor would be sucked into the Hollywood promotion machine.

He tells USA Today newspaper, "I was a little worried about him
after Titanic. The massive success of something like that, it's not
always a positive, particularly when you're that young.

"Suddenly you find yourself on lunchboxes and bedroom slippers. That can have a deteriorating effect on the inside."
