Film - Kate Winslet feels the famous kiss scene with Leonardo DiCaprio in "Titanic" was seedy.
As Kate Winslet (48), a renowned Hollywood actress, relives her experience filming the iconic kiss scene with Leonardo DiCaprio (49) in "Titanic," she laughs about the chaotic affair they endured. In an interview with US magazine "Vanity Fair," Winslet described their ordeal as "so messy."
The two actors played characters, Rose and Jack, and went through multiple takes. With heavy makeup for Winslet and darker makeup for DiCaprio, she jokingly shared that with each attempt, her character seemed to have sucked on a caramel candy due to the makeup rubbing off from DiCaprio. Conversely, DiCaprio started resembling someone with a missing piece of his face because Winslet's makeup would completely wipe off on him.
To complicate matters, DiCaprio couldn't contain his laughter, making it difficult for Winslet to take the scene seriously given her limited breathing capabilities thanks to the corset and constant knee injuries from slamming into the railing. Despite the obstacles, Winslet remains a proud creator of the timeless movie classic, as people from various new generations continue to discover and enjoy the 1997 James Cameron film that bagged eleven Oscars.
