During an interview with E! News at the premiere of her new film 'Lee' on September 25, Kate Winslet revealed that her son Bear watched the iconic movie last year (2023). “My youngest has seen ‘Titanic’. He saw it last year," she claimed.

"He cried a lot, and he kept having to pause it, and he was very upset,” Winslet said, recalling Bear's emotional response to the nearly 30-year-old blockbuster.

Winslet, who shares Bear with her husband Edward Abel Smith, is also a mother to 23-year-old Mia Threapleton from her marriage to Jim Threapleton and 20-year-old Joe Mendes from her second marriage to director Sam Mendes. 

When asked about her children's movie preferences, she stated that her three children have “certainly not” seen every film she’s starred in. 

“My older two, who are nearly 24 and 21, they love ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’. Yeah, that’s a big favorite for them”, she said, adding that they recently watched the 2004 romantic sci-fi film featuring Jim Carrey.

Winslet playfully noted her surprise when they mentioned watching it without her. “And so I think I always thought I would want to watch it with my kids one day. But they beat me to it,” she admitted. 

With 'Titanic' still making waves in pop culture discussions, Winslet's nostalgic musings offer a fascinating glimpse into her experiences both on and off the screen.

Kate Winslet recalls behind-the-scene moments from 'Titanic'

Reflecting on her extensive filmography, Kate Winslet reminisced about 'Titanic', especially as it continues to spark discussions in pop culture. In a June segment of Vanity Fair’s 'Scene Selection', the actress revisited the iconic “king of the world” moment with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. “Oh, my Lordy, this might be really cringe,” she remarked as the clip played.  

Winslet recalled how tight her corset was and how they had to do multiple takes because DiCaprio kept laughing.

Sharing some behind-the-scenes insights, she noted that the kiss scene “was not all it’s cracked up to be,” as she had makeup brushes hidden in her corset for quick touch-ups. 

“And I would end up looking as though I had been sucking a caramel chocolate bar after each take because his makeup would come on to me,” she explained.

 

Despite the challenges of filming, Winslet still praises 'Titanic', calling it the “film that just keeps on giving” nearly three decades later.
