Winslet knew that in “Titanic” DiCaprio would see her without clothes. She decided to break the ice right now

Kate Winslet faced the daunting task of posing nude while filming the iconic scene in Titanic. The task was not made easier by the fact that she did not know her film partner very well yet, to whom she became close only later, during the shooting. The actress found a way to relieve mutual stress.

The nude scenes are the ones most often mentioned by the actors as the most difficult to act. Nothing unusual. In addition to other actors in a given film or series, during the filming of intimate moments contained in the script, there are often a dozen or so people from the crew on the set. It is a challenge even for people who do not lack self-confidence.

Kate Winslet coped with stress on the set of ‘Titanic’ in an unusual way

As per ladbible.com, she got a doubly difficult task in this regard during the shooting of “”. One of the big screen’s most iconic love stories necessarily featured nude scenes. Probably even those who have not yet seen the work of James Cameron know the scene in which Jack Dawson played by Leonardo DiCaprio sketches his beloved naked.

According to the official book describing the backstage of the production, cited by the portal, this part of the film was shot first. After filming Titanic, Kate Winslet and DiCaprio became very close, but when the actress had to pose naked in front of the film partner in front of the cameras, they were almost complete strangers to each other.

“She wanted to break the ice so she showed up early”

“She was my best friend for seven months. We helped each other relieve stress, let each other go, took care of each other,” recalled working with Winslet DiCaprio.

According to reports that can be found in the book quoted by the British portal, Winslet declared: “I stood naked in front of Leo on the first day of shooting.” DiCaprio revealed that the actress coped with the task in an unusual way. She just stripped in front of him before they both appeared on camera. “She wasn’t shy. She wanted to break the ice, so she showed up early. I wasn’t prepared for that, so she had an advantage over me. But then I felt pretty comfortable with that,” DiCaprio described the situation.

This is not the only curiosity related to the memorable scene in the cult film. The hands that sketch Rose DeWitt-Bukater wearing nothing but an expensive necklace visible on-screen are not DiCaprio’s. The hands of James Cameron, the film’s director, played in the scene.
