Friendship strong as ever

of Jack and Rose in hit movie

reunited in Saint Tropez ahead of the gala for the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF) in July.

And in newly released pictures obtained by TMZ, the Oscarwinning actors are pictured walking side by side in swimwear, with the gossip website reporting that the snaps were taken at star’s Saint-Tropez villa.

Winslet is seen wearing a neon orange bikini underneath a loose white shirt, while DiCaprio is pictured wearing navy blue patterned swim shorts.

In another snap, the old friends hugged as they posed for a photo.

The snaps will no doubt delight fans who have been following the pair’s friendship since their appearance in the 1997 film that broke box office records.

They have DiCaprio even reportedly walking Kate down the aisle for her 2012 wedding to third husband Ned Rocknroll.

At the charity gala, which was held at the Domaine Bertaud Belieu Vineyard in Saint-Tropez to raise funds for the actor’s environmental foundation, Winslet 42, and DiCaprio, 41, were also reunited with co-star Billy Zane.

The trio, who starred in the reallife tale of how the “unsinkable”

sank after striking an iceberg, were all pictured together at the event, and Zane posted the image on Instagram, captioning it: “Gangs back together. Now we’re saving icebergs. Go figure …”

DiCaprio’s gala, which was attended by celebrities including Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, and Tom Hanks raised more than $30 million, to fund the LDF’s charitable programs.
