Leonardo DiCaprio will probably never be the tallest member in a pick up game of basketball, but he excels on Hollywood’s vertical scales.

“I’m always shocked at how tall you are,” Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush pointed out to the statuesque Leonardo as the actor hit the premiere of “Revolutionary Road” in Los Angeles Monday evening.

“It’s weird. I do get that a lot,” Leonardo remarked. “I’m not extraordinarily tall, but people…”

“How tall are you?” Billy asked.

“That’s the number one thing people say to me constantly — ‘Wow! You’re a lot taller than I thought you’d be,’” Leonardo revealed. “They have a perception, I guess, that most actors are gnomes or something.”

For the record, Leonardo hangs in the air at about 6 feet tall, making him half a foot taller than his “Revolutionary Road” co-star, Kate Winslet.

The two reunited on the big screen for the first time since “Titanic,” for the 1950s-based drama, and it’s already been a big success ahead of its release, garnering both Leonardo and Kate Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor and Actress, respectively.

“I was on my way back from New York and I got a whole bunch of texts from a lot of different people and I said, ‘Alright, this is a good sign,’” Leonardo said of how he found out he’d been nominated. “ called everyone back and sure enough…”

Leonardo said what thrilled him most about the Golden Globe announcements was Kate’s nod.

“It was great news for me, but it was great that I got to receive it with Kate too because I wouldn’t feel right if she wasn’t alongside me at that ceremony, just representing the movie,” he said.

Leonardo DiCaprio sat with Lukas Haas to watch the Lakers defeat the Kings on Friday night. Leo has a lot to smile about this week with Revolutionary Road scoring four Golden Globe nominations including a Best Actor nod for Leo, which he celebrated by calling fellow nominee and good friend, Kevin Connolly. He recently sat down with Kate Winslet for an adorable interview with Entertainment Weekly and talked about their post-Titanic life, Academy awards and reuniting over a decade later. Here are some highlights:

* On young stars like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron gaining Hollywood fame so quickly: "That's the interesting thing about being an actor. You are also a public figure. Early on I made it my policy that a certain amount of publicity is good — you promote your job, you do your movie, you retain your private life, you don't divulge everything about yourself. And when I see younger actors getting a tremendous amount of publicity, I say to myself, Well, they've been given an unbelievable opportunity, and I hope they know within themselves that all that really matters at the end of the day is the work. All this noise and attention will absolutely deteriorate and there will be a new, fresh piece of meat for the media to focus on within less than a year's time. So what they should do at this moment is work their [butts] off to prove to the public and prove to themselves that they can absolutely have a long-term career."

To see more photos from the Lakers game and read a sweet exchange between Kate and Leo just read more.

* On working with Kate again: "Over the years, I would find myself stopping and saying, 'I don't know if we should do this again.' And then I'd think, 'What are you, an idiot? Why wouldn't I want to work with the best actress of her generation? Am I going to be prejudiced against a project just because Kate's in it?' I think we both had been actively looking for something else to do together, but we fundamentally knew that we couldn't tread on any sort of similar territory."

* Kate: "May I? [Reaching over and rubbing her finger over DiCaprio's nose] You've scratched the top of your nose! Oh, no, we're literally doing everything we said we wouldn't do."

Leo: "I know, this is a little too cute. It's like out of one of those —"

Kate: "Don't say it!"

Leo: "— one of those scenes from When Harry Met Sally... with the old couples. 'And I met her in the park in 1992! And she was...' 'Eating a hot dog!' 'And I was scratching my butt!'"

Kate: "Oh, my God, and look at me fussing over your face. I've literally turned into a combination of your mother, your sister, and, I don't know what, your wife!"

* Leo on Fame, Post-Titanic: "You never get used to it. Post-Titanic, it was more intense than anyone our age has ever dealt with in the history of...anything. It was the modern era of media and paparazzi where they're organized, with multiple SUVs following you around. I didn't know it would at the time, but it has way calmed down in my life.... By the way, I really hate talking about post-Titanic because it always sounds to me in print like I'm complaining when I have nothing to complain about. That movie gave both of us tremendous opportunities for what we wanted to do as actors."

It'll be exciting to see these two back on the big screen and even more fun to see them walk down the red carpet for the Golden Globes in January.

EVERY home should have a built-in party space. Paris Hilton tells Esquire about her place in Los Angeles: "The best thing I've ever bought with money is my house. Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party." Leonardo DiCaprio (above) apparently agrees. He and Kevin Connolly hit her place the other night for some "drinking and chilling out." DiCaprio "was on his BlackBerry most of the night," said our spy.
