The Titanic Scene Kate Winslet Regrets Filming

More than 20 years have passed since Titanic became a box office sensation, and after all that time, there's still one scene that makes Kate Winslet cringe just thinking about it. Sure, you'd think it was the infamous scene at the end of the movie when she clearly has room for Jack on the humongous floating door she has to completely stretch out on to survive the shipwreck — but surprisingly, that's not it. When it comes to the movie that basically launched her career, Kate Winslet has confessed that her biggest regret is the "Draw me like one of your French girls," nude scene that, as she told Yahoo, "is still haunting me."

Believe it or not, serious fans of the film, which was released in 1997, are still approaching the now mother of three, with blown up photographs of the nude sketch from that scene and asking her to sign it! In the same interview with Yahoo she reflected, "I don't sign that [picture]. It feels very uncomfortable. Why would you do that?" She went on, "People ask me to sign that [picture] a lot."

Kate Winslet finds nude scenes 'profoundly bizarre'

While Kate Winslet's hatred for filming nude scenes, which she described to V Magazine back in 2011, as "profoundly bizarre," the now 45-year-old Academy Award winning actress, is feeling more secure with love scenes as a woman in her 40's (via FASHIONetc).

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Winslet detailed her latest role in the period drama Ammonite, which features a love scene between her and Saoirse Ronan. She explained, "to have an opportunity to be my real 40-something self, post-children, you know? Women aren't really having the courage to do that. I was just excited to say, 'This is what it is, peeps. This is how I am now, and it's very much not the body I had 20 years ago.'"

Kate Winslet has recently revealed she thinks her American accent in Titanic is terrible

She may be more comfortable with her body in front of the camera, but looking back at her earlier work, specifically in Titanic, is still an uncomfortable experience for her. 

Winslet described in a recent interview with The Telegraph, "Every single scene, I'm like 'Really, really? You did it like that?' Oh my God... Even my American accent, I can't listen to it. It's awful." She goes on to say, "Hopefully it's so much better now. It sounds terribly self-indulgent, but actors do tend to be very self-critical. I have a hard time watching any of my performances, but watching Titanic I was just like, 'Oh God, I want to do that again'" (via The Things).
