Kate Winslet hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but the door scene is good Titanic not as terrible for a movie as fans think.
In a recent interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Winslet, 48, who played Rose DeWitt Bukater in the 1997 smash hit, revealed that she and her costar Leonardo DiCaprio filmed the scene of the door in “waist-high” water.
“Well it’s an awkward tank, that one,” Winslet told the host Josh Horowitz. “To pop a bubble, waist-high, tank. So at first, I was like, ‘Ugh, can I just pee,’ and then I would get up, go out the door, walk to the edge of the tank that was 20 feet away, and I really had to put my foot down and get out of the tank and pee then come back and crawl in the door again.
Winslet later revealed that DiCaprio, 49, knelt during filming (spoiler alert) death scene, which has been much discussed over the years.
Nothing but smooth seas! After the success of Titanic, stars such as Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio continued to be successful in the industry.

“It’s terrible to admit this … Leo, I’m afraid, kneeling down under the tank,” he revealed. “I don’t have to talk about it. (Director) James Cameron‘It would sound like, ‘Why are you saying all that?'”
Winslet continued: “The amazing thing about the edge of the tank is that it’s an infinite tank, so there’s a continuous flow of water, and you can hear the continuous sound of the water.”
Apparently, the sound of moving water is so powerful that Winslet said the dialogue in the last 20 minutes of the film was re-recorded in the studio, including Rose shouting, “Jack! Jack!”
