Kate Winslet is so over the capital-D Discourse surrounding the infamous floating-door scene from “Titanic.”
On Friday’s episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the Oscar-winning actor addressed the ongoing debate over whether her “Titanic” co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio, could have fit beside her on the scrap of driftwood that saves her character Rose’s life at the end of the 1997 film.
For years, a vocal legion of “Titanic” conspiracy theorists have insisted that DiCaprio’s character, Jack, also could have survived if he climbed onto the buoyant door beside Winslet’s Rose instead of staying in the freezing-cold water after the titular cruise ship capsized.
“You just have to make a joke of it, don’t you?” Winslet told podcast host Josh Horowitz when asked for her take on the scene.
