To underscore the massive impact of "Titanic," the movie spent a ridiculous 15-week period at No. 1 on box office charts, and it became an instant cultural influencer. According to Vulture, there were all forms of merchandise created off it, as well as special shows running off its popularity to feed the public's almost-insatiable thirst for more "Titanic" themed content.

The outfits, and even haircuts, from the film became a hit with younger generations as well, reaching far-flung locations like Afghanistan, where the Taliban was at the helm during its first rule lasting from 1996 to 2001.

According to LeoEdit, Leonardo DiCaprio's haircut in "Titanic" is called the "mushroom," and it quickly became popular amongst young men in Afghanistan. Soon after, the Taliban took exception to it, and they banned not only the haircut, but the movie as well, according to BBC News. They even went as far as arresting barbers who were giving the haircut.

The reason? The Taliban thought the haircut was against Islam, and would interfere with the prayers of the teenagers and young men sporting it. Afghanistan is a country with an overwhelming Muslim population, and people must touch their heads to the ground as they pray five times every day.

There are no records of other countries clamping down on DiCaprio's haircut like the Islamic government of Afghanistan, where, according to Inquisitr, men were forced to wear hats in order to hide their Titanic-inspired mushroom haircuts from government agents.
