Kate Winslet reveals surprising fact about Leonardo DiCaprio’s death scene in ‘Titanic’

much-debated door scene, according to People. Winslet wagered a guess that co-star DiCaprio has “got PTSD” from being asked incessantly about the scene, in which – spoiler alert – he freezes to death because there’s not enough room for him on a floating door that Winslet’s character, Rose, has taken refuge on after the Titanic’s sinking. “Well that was quite an awkward tank,” Winslet said of the giant water tank used to film the scene. “Because to burst the bubble, it was waist height at that time.”“Leo, I’m afraid to say, was kneeling down.

I shouldn’t be saying – anyways, Jimmy Cameron’s gonna be ringing me,” the actress quipped, referring to the movie’s director James Cameron.

Though the tank’s schematics proved less than ideal for DiCaprio, Winslet had one major benefit: she could easily pop off to the restroom.“So first of all, I was regularly like, ‘Can I just go for a pee?’ And then I get up, get off the door, walk to the edge of the tank, sort of 20 feet away and I literally have to fling my leg over and climb up and come and get back on the door again,” she recalled. “It’s terrible.”She added, “Actually the thing that was amazing about the edges of the tank was it was an infinity tank.

So there was constant water rushing and you could hear the constant sound of water.” That sound meant that all the actors were “entirely looped” in “the last 22 minutes” of the film, according to Winslet, “because you can hear this water noise the whole time.”Looping, or ADR, is a process done after a movie finishes filming in which actors can, among other things, re-record dialogue that wasn’t audible or usable when it was recorded on set.
