Leonardo DiCaprio might be the reason nearly the entire world is savouring an Oscar-induced high, but his Titanic co-star and friend Kate Winslet wants something more from the star. And it doesn't involve winning an Oscar after 22 years.

Winslet has reportedly urged DiCaprio to get married and start his own family.

"Kate is completely overjoyed with Leo's Oscar win," an insider told hollywoodlife.com.

"Now she wants to see him fulfil another dream - getting married and starting a family. She knows without a doubt that Leo would be an exceptional dad," added the source.

The insider also said that Winslet assured DiCaprio that being a father was the most interesting job a man could have.

"She keeps telling him that once he experiences fatherhood, he'll fall madly in love with the greatest role ever! Kate has joked with him, but it's not really a joke, that she wants to meet all future girlfriends so she can determine if they are wife material," the source added.

DiCaprio won his first Academy Award in the Best Actor category for his power-packed performance in The Revenant. Leo's Oscar win at the 88th Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles on February 28 had him trending all over social media. He is the one person who ranked above all else in Oscar searches on Google too.

The actor's big Oscar win came 22 years after his first Academy Award nomination. DiCaprio was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in the 1993 classic What's Eating Gilbert Grape. After that, Leo had seen four nominations in the Best Actor category, and one as a producer for Best Picture - all of which he lost to others.
