Carey Mulligan never had a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio

Los Angeles: Actress Carey Mulligan says she did not have a crush on her ‘The Great Gatsby’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio when she was a teenager, even though he was a heartthrob back then.

In ‘The Great Gatsby’, directed by Baz Luhrrman, Mulligan has filmed numerous steamy scenes with DiCaprio. She admits she wasn`t one of the many young girls who succumbed to the the actor`s good looks when he made a name for himself with 1997 film ‘Titanic’. "Well, he wasn`t my pin-up, but he was for a lot of my girlfriends. Michael Schumacher (was my pin-up). I used to watch Formula 1 with my dad when I was little," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Mulligan as saying. The 29-year-old, who plays heartbroken Daisy in ‘The Great Gatsby’, said she still couldn`t help but give in to the actor`s charm when she auditioned for the role for the forthcoming project. "When I did the audition with Leo in New York I walked away grinning. Just the idea that if I never got any further, I had just spent an hour and a half acting with Leonardo DiCaprio," she said. "I was terrified of reading with him, but it said in the script that Daisy kisses Gatsby so I asked if I should and (director) Baz (Luhrmann) said yes, so I kissed him," she added. IANS
