TITANIC MOVIE

Fifteen years ago, the youthful star-crossed lovers in 1997’s Titanic – played
by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet – helped propel James Cameron’s epic
blockbuster into box-office history. The film earned $1.8 billion worldwide and
scored 11 Oscars.

Now Titanic is sailing back into theaters on April 4, this time in 3D. To mark the
re-release, which is taking place along with the 100th anniversary of the real
sea disaster, PEOPLE spoke with Winslet and Cameron about their memories of
the film – including a few surprises:

1. Leo almost passed on the role.

The actor, then 21, was reluctant to take on such a traditional, romantic
leading-man part. “His character doesn’t go through torment, and Leo
previously and subsequently in his career was always looking for that dark
cloud,” explains Cameron. “It became my job to convince him that it was a
challenge to do what Gregory Peck and Jimmy Stewart did in previous
generations, to stand there and be strong and hold the audience’s eye without
seeming to do very much. Only when I convinced him that was actually the
harder thing to do that he got excited.”

2. The water was warm (for a few reasons).

Cameron acknowledges that the seven-month shoot was intense – but says the
soggy scenes weren’t as hard on his actors as it appears on film. “The water in
the tank was about 80 degrees, so it was really like a pool,” he says. “All of the
cold, frigid breath was added later.” And what about reports that Cameron
forbid his stars from leaving the water tank for hours at a time, even to use the
bathroom? “Everyone could go to the toilet, but they were encouraged not to
go in the tank – which I think was happening!”

3. Kate and Leo have a tough time watching the film today.
“My American accent is appalling!” says Winslet – who went on to earn an
Oscar in 2008 for The Reader – of her breakthrough performance. “Here we are
15 years on, and I’ve learnt so much more, not just about myself but the job
that I do and the world of film, and I look at myself in Titanic and I wish I could
bring all this knowledge that I now have into that.” As for DiCaprio, “I just saw
Leo a few months ago and I showed him 18 minutes of the film converted to
3D,” says Cameron. “We had a good reminisce and, of course, he was
guffawing at what a kid he was in the movie. I think he hadn’t seen it in a while
and seeing it on a big screen, he was literally just snorting into his hands at one
point.”

4. Kate had a shaving emergency mid-shoot.

In the scene when Rose is about to jump ship, “there’s a bit where Leo takes
my hand, and because of the way Jim was lighting this particular shot, the light
was catching all the little hairs on my arm,” says Winslet. “He was like, ‘Okay,
we’re going to have to shave your arm.’ So we stop filming and the makeup
artist has a Bic razor and some Gillette shaving foam. It was hilarious. That I
really remember.”

5. Leo and Kate hit it off instantly.

“They were very chummy and relied on each other quite a bit,” Cameron recalls
of his young stars. Although Winslet teasingly says that a boyish DiCaprio was
“useless” during filming when it came to keeping a watchful eye on her, he did
come through in a key moment. “When we did the underwater footage at the
end, Leo was a certified scuba diver at that point and I was not,” she says. “He
really did look after me. He was totally brilliant – he wouldn’t leave my side.”
