‘Leonardo DiCaprio is on his knees at the bottom of the pool’: Behind the scenes of the end of Titanic, you will be disappointed

We can’t say it enough: there were two seats on that damn door and Jack and Rose could have cuddled and warmed up until help arrived… Yes, we have to admit, Titanic we were traumatized and Kate Winslet today returns to this famous scene and reveals it behind the scenes: that’s enough To demystify the moment!

In an interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (via Entertainment Weekly ) promoting his latest film, Lee Miller , which is in theaters now, the actor talked about filming the climactic sequence in which Rose floats on a door fragment while Jack. The role of Leonardo DiCaprio, freezes in the icy waters of the Atlantic – and the conditions were clearly not as dangerous as it appeared on the screen.

“It was a pretty weird pool because – just to burst your bubble – it was waist high“, he revealed. “Leo, I’m afraid, is on his knees at the bottom of the pool.“

Kate Winslet He also said that maneuvering the pool allowed him to go to the bathroom frequently without much trouble. “I regularly asked, “Can I just smell it?”“, he recalled. “Then I would get up, walk out the door, walk to the edge of the pool, which was 20 feet away, and I would literally have to throw my leg out of the pool to get there and then come back and walk out the door again. I know it’s scary to admit it.“

The pool in question was constantly backing up the water, which also caused significant problems with the audio sequence. “The amazing thing about the edges of the pool was that it was an infinity pool, so the water was constantly flowing and you could hear its constant noise.“, he added, noting that the actors had to rewrite their dialogue lines after filming. “Which, let me tell you, means that the last 22 minutes of this movie are totally on. Everything went full circle. I promise you, because we heard the sound of water all the time.“

Did he say too much? Later, the actress was afraid that her words would cause problems with James Cameron. “I shouldn’t have said all that. Jim Cameron is going to call me and say, “Why are you telling them all this?”“

He did not immediately see the Titanic

Kate Winslet It is also remembered that in 1997 there were several opportunities to see the film.When it premiered in London, I was really sick. I had terrible food poisoning and was in a hospital in London. It was completely strange. And when it came out in the States, I was at my friend’s funeral. I mean, it’s scary to think about it now“, he said about the death of his former partner, Stephen Tredre. “So I missed everything around the release of Titanic, which I don’t know is the universe’s way of protecting me from something, or just reminding me to do what’s important.“

The actor finally saw TitanicLater, in a packed room in New York. “I sneaked in with two friends and that’s when I saw it for the first time. I remember thinking, “Oh my God, it’s crowded. It’s strange. It’s a full house. I’m in one of those movies where people go and fill every seat.’ It was quite strange.“

A movie that left its mark on the world of cinema and that we still talk about 27 years later… and that you can watch on Netflix and Disney+!
