In a recent interview, Academy Award winner Kate Winslet shed new light on the iconic scene from the cult classic ‘Titanic’, addressing the long-debated question about the famous “door.”
Contrary to popular belief, Winslet stated that what fans refer to as a door was actually a piece of the ship's bannister, as per People magazine.
When asked if there was “room on the door” for her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, who portrayed Jack Dawson, Winslet anticipated the question.
“I thought, 'He's busting out the Titanic question and next he's gonna ask me about the door.' I absolutely knew it,” she remarked, before revealing that the floating piece wasn't even a door. “It's a piece of bannister, like stairway or something, that had broken off,” as per People magazine.
The scene has sparked countless debates since the film's release in 1997, with fans speculating whether there was enough space for both Jack and Rose on the debris.
Director James Cameron even commissioned a study to explore this question, using stunt doubles to reenact various scenarios. “Jack might've lived, but there's a lot of variables,” Cameron noted, emphasizing Jack's mindset of prioritizing Rose's safety.(ANI)
