Kate Winslet had a fight with James Cameron over Titanic?

Kate Winslet dismissed rumors of a feud with director James Cameron that have been floating around since the Titanic days. In a candid conversation with Variety, the Oscar-winning actress addressed the gossip and revealed how speculation overshadowed her genuine bond with the acclaimed filmmaker. “There’s a part of me that almost feels sad that stupid, speculative Titanic stuff overshadowed my actual relationship with him at the time,” Winslet said, making it clear that there was never a rift.

During the filming of Titanic, Winslet’s portrayal of Rose Dewitt Bukater catapulted her to fame, but also came with some emotional baggage. Cameron noted, “There was never a rift between us. She had a little postpartum depression when she let go of Rose. It turns out that Winslet delves deep into her characters, and that can leave a mark. But despite the past, their collaboration continued, with Winslet starring in Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water and even working on the next installment of the franchise.

The director expressed his excitement for their continued collaboration, saying, “I work with her performance every day.” After reflecting on their dynamic, Winslet praised Cameron’s creativity and described the filmmaking process as a whirlwind of possibilities. “He covers everything from a million angles,” she noted, pointing to the dizzying array of cameras used to capture performances.

Speaking of performances, Winslet also recalled a memorable meeting with director Stephen Frears while preparing for HBO’s The Regime. In a hilarious twist, she told how she made him tea – it was clear the British tradition was lost on him. “I had no idea what he meant” when he suggested her character should be “quite high.” But Winslet rose to the challenge, resulting in a standout performance that showcased her versatility.

Her character, Elena Vernham, was a narcissistic European autocrat whose blunders and neuroses created the series’ tension. Winslet portrayed her with layers of charm and menace, leaving viewers wondering who she was behind the mask. “All the homework and preparation is to cut myself some slack,” Winslet explained of her meticulous approach. Under Frears’ guidance, she created an intriguing and flawed character, once again proving her talent for depth.

Cameron has consistently recognized Winslet’s unique spark, once saying she walked into a room “with great confidence.” He was initially hesitant to cast her in Titanic, thinking her previous roles were “lazy casting.” But once he saw her in action, he was convinced. Winslet’s ability to bring complex characters to life has only grown, making her one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry.

Winslet transitioned from Titanic to Mare of Easttown and delivered another Emmy-winning performance as Mare Sheehan. The character resonated deeply with audiences and embodied the rawness and vulnerability many faced during the pandemic. Would she consider visiting Mare again? “Probably,” she said, referring to the character’s lasting impact on her career.

While HBO has teased potential discussions for a season 2 of Mare of Easttown, Winslet remains nonchalant. “Move on,” she joked, not wanting to dwell on the past. However, with her talents and undeniable chemistry with Cameron, fans can only hope that this dynamic duo continues to create magic on screen.
