Oscar winning-actress Kate Winslet has finally addressed the iconic Titanic door scene which, according to her, may not even be a "door" scene after all. Talking on the Australian talk show The Project, the actress said that the "door" featured in the iconic Titanic scene wasn't really a door, but rather another piece of the set. When asked if there was "room on the door" for co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, whose character Jack Dawson held onto the piece of floating wood after the ship sank, Winslet said that she knew the interviewer would "ask me that question.
" "I thought, 'He's busting out the Titanic question and next he's gonna ask me about the door.' I absolutely knew it," Winslet said. "But, you know, what I will say that's really interesting is people keep referring to it as a door.
It actually wasn't even a door." It's a piece of bannister, like a stairway or something, that had broken off. Who knows if (DiCaprio) could've (fit) on there or not.
Honestly, I don't have any insights here that anyone else hasn't already tried to figure out." The scene has been a topic of discussion among Titanic fans and general movie-goers ever since the film's 1997 release, with some fans on Reddit also coming to the conclusion that the debris wasn't a door and matching it with an image from inside the film's titular ship. Titanic director James Cameron also previously commissioned a scientific study to determine if there really was enough room for both Jack and Rose on the floating debris.
