Renowned for her dedication to her roles, “Titanic” actress Kate Winslet often takes her character work to the extreme, according to director James Cameron.
During a recent Variety magazine interview, both clarified that rumours of their discord were unfounded.
The talented mother, donning a striking bodice, had reportedly had a conflict with Cameron on the Titanic film set — the 1997 movie that garnered multiple Oscars.
Their collaboration continued with the 2022 sequel, “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
Winslet, now 48, expressed: “Looking back, I’m somewhat disheartened that erroneous speculations regarding Titanic clouded the real bond I share with James.
“He is aware that I’m always ready to face whatever is thrown at me. Any challenge or direction? I’m on it.”
In the same conversation, James Cameron elaborated: “The idea of a rift was never a reality.
“After Titanic, Kate suffered a mild postpartum depression, which was a result of her deep connection to her character Rose. She acknowledges that her portrayals have a profound and, occasionally, lasting impact on her psyche.”
