Actress Kate Winslet has once again talked about the behind-the-scenes of the classic film Titanic, one of the most famous productions of her career. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the eternal Rose surprised us by revealing more details about the iconic kiss scene between her and Leonardo DiCaprio on the edge of the ship.

Chaos behind the scenes

According to the Oscar winner, the filming of this scene was extremely chaotic and very different from the romantic atmosphere presented in the movie. Kate Winslet praised her friend Leonardo DiCaprio, saying: "My God, he's a real romantic, isn't he? No wonder every young woman in the world wanted to be kissed by Leonardo DiCaprio. [Only] it wasn't all that they say".

She explained why the scene was so complicated to film: "We kept doing this kiss, and I had a lot of light make-up on and I had to do make-up checks - on both of us, between takes - and I ended up looking like I'd sucked on a caramel chocolate bar after every take because his make-up would come off on me."

Challenges with Management

Kate also mentioned that she and DiCaprio had a hard time cooperating for the scene to flow well, and commented on the super demanding director. "Leo couldn't stop laughing and we had to redo the scene about four times because [James Cameron] wanted a very specific light and the sunsets changed where we were," she explained.

An unforgettable classic

Even with the behind-the-scenes 'hassles', Kate Winslet expressed her happiness that Titanic has become a movie classic and celebrated the film's reach to new generations. "Whole generations of people are discovering the movie or seeing it for the first time, and there's something extraordinary about that," she said.

Discomforts and Challenges Behind the Scenes

Kate Winslet also revealed some uncomfortable moments she experienced behind the scenes of the movie Titanic (1997), where she played the iconic character Rose. In an interview with The New York Times, the actress said that she didn't receive the help of an intimacy coordinator on set when shooting the nude scenes, a practice that was only adopted by the Hollywood industry in 2016.

The presence of this professional ensures that actors don't feel uncomfortable when shooting sex scenes or nudity and helps to keep the atmosphere between cast, production and director more pleasant and realistic in the studios.

"I would have benefited from an intimacy coordinator every time I had to do a love scene or get partially naked or even a kissing scene. It would have been nice to have someone by my side, because I always had to defend myself," said the actress.

Career Reflections

Kate, who was only 22 when she acted in Titanic, explained that she accepted some situations quietly because she felt it was part of the job. Today, she pointed out how she would react in similar situations: "I don't like this camera angle. I don't want to be here totally naked. I don't want so many people on set. I want my robe to be closer. Just little things like that. When you're young, you're very afraid of annoying people or looking rude or pathetic because you might need those things. So learning to have a voice in those environments was very, very difficult," she said.

Personal Impact

Kate Winslet also revealed that, after her role in Titanic, she developed an eating disorder because of the criticism she received about her body. "I never told anyone about it. Because guess what - people around us would say, 'Hey, you look great! You've lost weight!'" the actress recalled. "Still, compliments about good looks are linked to weight. And that's something I won't let people talk about. If they do, I stop them immediately," concluded Kate Winslet.

Kate Winslet's revelation sheds light on the difficulties and pressures faced by actors behind the scenes of major productions, highlighting the importance of support and understanding in the film work environment.
