Kate Winslet recalls kissing scene with Leonardo DiCaprio from ‘Titanic’: ‘It was a mess and cringy’ | English Movie News – Times of India
One of the evergreen classic films ‘Titanic‘ has completed more than two decades since its release in the world of cinema. The unforgettable love story of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio‘s characters, Rose DeWitt Bukater and Jack Dawson, still feels fresh for all movie buffs. The first kiss between Jack and Rose at the ship’s bow is one of the iconic moments in world cinema.
Recently, Kate Winslet talked about this scene in a chat with Vanity Fair, calling it ‘messy’ and ‘cringy’.The actress stated, “It’s quite funny,” and he was quite the ‘romancer’. She had no wonder why every young girl in the world wanted to be kissed by Leonardo DiCaprio. She explained how hard it was to shoot that scene and the effort both makeup artists and actors put into it. She described the humorous and messy experience of filming a kissing scene. Both actors were wearing heavy makeup, and each time they kissed, Kate’s pale makeup would transfer onto Leonardo. This resulted in Kate looking like she had been eating a caramel chocolate bar, while Leonardo ended up with patches of missing makeup on his face. The situation required frequent makeup checks and touch-ups between takes, making the whole process quite chaotic.
She added that it might be cringy that she couldn’t breathe in that corset outfit. Kate revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio couldn’t stop laughing during filming, which led to multiple retakes. The scene required a specific lighting setup, but changing sunsets caused further complications. Additionally, the scene was shot in a difficult-to-access location on the ship’s exterior, making it hard for the hair and makeup team to assist them. The experience was described as a bit of a nightmare due to these technical and logistical challenges.

The actress disclosed that despite Leonardo DiCaprio appearing naturally tanned in the scene, he actually used sunbeds and wore substantial amounts of fake tan makeup. To maintain continuity and appearance during breaks between takes, Kate concealed their makeup kit in her costume, including brushes and sponges. This allowed her to touch up both their makeup discreetly and ensure consistency throughout filming.
Kate feels proud of ‘Titanic’ and admits that it still remains popular and relevant in this generation too.
