British actress Kate Winslet confesses co-star Leonardo DiCaprio is starting to feel more like her husband.

While at the London premiere of her new movie Revolutionary Road which her husband, Sam Mendes directed, Winslet spoke fondly of DiCaprio.

DiCaprio feels more like my husband than my real husband, I have to say. I'm talking about him so much! Winslet told Britain's GMTV Monday.

Meanwhile, DiCaprio revealed he had no problem filming romantic scenes with Kate while being directed by her husband.

Leonardo said: I was very comfortable with the situation. It felt like a kind of a family - a sort of weird twisted family.

He added that he believed his co-star would walk away with the Best Actress Oscar at the end of the February.

I absolutely think Kate should win an Oscar. It's long overdue. I think she's well deserved of that.

She's been nominated so many times and she's such a talent and able to convey so much complexity in her characters. It's amazing to see her grow up in this industry and really just be able to hone her talents in an amazing way.

The movie is based on a novel by Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road is about a young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggling to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children.

The film has already seen limited release in the States, while it is scheduled to take over theaters in the UK on January 30.
