A jacket worn by Leonardo DiCaprio in the famous 'king of the world' scene in the blockbuster hit Titanic is posted for sale with a £73,000 price tag, Capital Bay reported on Tuesday.

DiCaprio, who played impoverished artist Jack Dawson in the 1997 hit film, was wearing the brown and black plaid jacket in the famous scene where he stood at the bow of the legendary ocean vessel.

As the doomed ship heads out into the Atlantic Ocean on its first and only voyage, DiCaprio's character jumps up onto the railings and with arms stretched open declaring: 'I'm the king of the world!'

It is among the most memorable and re-enacted scenes in the film. The 'king of the world' line has been voted among the top 100 film quotes of all time.

DiCaprio recreates the pose later in Titanic when he romances Kate Winslet's well-to-do socialite character, and Jack's love interest, Rose DeWitt Bukater.

Costume designer Deborah Lynne Scott picked the vintage jacket from costume rental company Repeat Performance instead of making it specifically for the film.

After filming was over, the jacket was returned to the company, which has now decided to sell it 17 years after the film first hit theaters.

The auction will take place on October 17, The Daily Mail Reported.
