Titanic was the film that launched Kate Winslet to fame and yet, the actress revealed that after its release, her life was not very pleasant.
We can think of extremely iconic films, and we cannot deny that Titanic is one of them. James Cameron's romantic drama has become not only one of the most iconic and romantic films in cinema, but also one of the highest grossing films. His story, his protagonists, the music and photography have made it an undisputed classic that never goes out of style.
Let us remember that the story is contextualized in the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. There, we become witnesses of the epic love story between Rose DeWitt Bukater, a young woman from high society, and Jack Dawson, a young man from the lower class; who fall madly in love and live a passionate romance aboard the RMS Titanic.
Titanic not only managed to succeed on all possible levels, but was also responsible for establishing the careers of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. In this way, both continued to embark on highly acclaimed projects, and to this day, they are two of the most acclaimed performers of their generation.
However, the success of Titanic was not all rosy, especially for Kate Winslet. The actress, who at the time of her premiere was only 22 years old, had many problems with the sudden fame and attention that she began to receive, and according to the actress herself, it was one of the worst moments of her life.
In conversation with Porter magazine, Kate Winslet spoke about how the fame of Titanic affected her. “I felt like I had to look a certain way, or be a certain way, and the media's interference at that time was very great, my life was very unpleasant,” said the 48-year-old British actress.
This is not the first time that the interpreter confesses how difficult it was to deal with fame, and although it was a high price to pay, she does not regret being part of James Cameron's film at all. “I was very grateful, of course. I was in my twenties and was able to get an apartment. But I didn't want them to follow me while I was feeding the ducks.”
Now, the panorama has completely changed for Kate Winslet, who knew how to take charge of her life and forge her own path in the industry. As she confessed, her fame is no longer a burden for her to deal with, and over time, she has known how to cope with it. In recent years she has starred in all kinds of films and series, and now she is preparing for the premiere of The Regime, a political and satire miniseries that will premiere on HBO Max (soon Max) on March 3.
