It's a moment that has become etched in the annals of Hollywood history – Kate Winslet's infamous "Titanic" slip-up, where she forgot that her top was off during a steamy scene with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. But what really happened, and how did the actress feel about the embarrassing moment?
According to Winslet, she was so focused on the emotional intensity of the scene that she completely forgot about her character's, ahem, lack of attire. "I was completely and utterly absorbed in the moment, and I didn't even realize what was happening," she recalled in an interview. "It wasn't until James Cameron called 'cut' that I realized, 'Oh my God, I'm standing there with my top off!'"
Winslet has said that she was mortified when she realized her mistake, but DiCaprio was surprisingly calm about the whole thing. "I was just trying to do my job and not think about it too much," he said with a chuckle.
