DiCaprio and Maguire star in Baz Luhrmann`s adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald`s ‘The Great Gatsby’ as Jay Gatsby and his friend Nick Carraway.’ The ‘Titanic’ star, 38, explained that he arranged for his long-time friend to audition for the role after he secured his own part in the movie. "Tobey is great at; you know what he`s great at... He will find a way to win, and that`s what I`ve seen happen in his life, too. I`ve seen Tobey, like Gatsby, say, `This will happen for me`.

Every single choice I`ve made, I`ve talked to Tobey about and vice versa," DiCaprio said. PTI
