Kate Winslet recently shared the truth about her famous kissing scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Titanic.’ While the scene may have looked romantic on screen, Winslet revealed that behind the scenes, it was far from ideal.
During the iconic ‘I’m flying’ scene, Winslet admitted that the experience was less than glamorous. She mentioned struggling with a tight dress that made it difficult to breathe, banging her leg on the railing of the ship, and being too far from the crew for hair and makeup touch-ups.
To make matters worse, both Winslet and DiCaprio had to climb a ladder to access the set, forcing them to do their own makeup adjustments between takes. Despite the challenges, Winslet joked that the kiss was ‘not all it’s cracked up to be.’
According to Winslet, DiCaprio was a great romancer on screen, but the reality of filming the scene was much more chaotic. The actress’s candid revelations shed light on the behind-the-scenes trials that went into creating one of the most iconic moments in film history.
As fans continue to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Titanic,’ Winslet’s honesty about the challenges of filming the movie adds a new layer of appreciation for the beloved classic.
