Whether Jack could’ve survived on the boat remains one of the biggest questions surrounding James Cameron’sTitanic. While his death was essential to the plot, even 27 years later, the question still remains prevalent among fans of the acclaimed epic.

Even though Kate Winslet too didn’t have any certain answers on it, and was relieved when she wasn’t asked to delve into the subject during her recent interview, she did disclose two huge secrets about the iconic film.

Per the renowned actor, there was a bit of trickery involved off-screen, as the water present in the tank was only waist-level, and DiCaprio was kneeling down the entire time.

Well that was quite an awkward tank… because to burst the bubble, it was waist height at that time. Anyway, yeah. So it was waist-high. Leo, I’m afraid to say was kneeling down. I shouldn’t be saying anyways, Jimmy Cameron’s gonna be ringing me.

Winslet didn’t stop there, as she further disclosed that the sound of the water rushing in the background was looped for the last 22 minutes.

With Winslet set to return inAvatar 3and potentially in its sequels, it’s safe to say she wouldn’t hear the end of Cameron’s furious outbursts following this revelation.

Kate Winslet Couldn’t Catch up With Titanic Upon Its Debut

AlthoughTitanictook the globe by storm upon its release, becoming the biggest box-office success at the time, Winslet herself wasn’t able to experience the eye-popping experience until much, much later. TheAvatar 2star recalled missing out on its London premiere due to food poisoning and later failed to catch up with its US release following the death of her boyfriend.

When it premiered in London, I was really unwell. I had terrible food poisoning and I was actually in hospital in London, really weird. And then when it came out in the U.S. actually I was at the funeral of a boyfriend.

She did eventually experience the epic onscreen, alongside a jam-packed audience, as Titanic continued to sell seats even months after its release.
