Kate Winslet and James Cameron have denied any rumors of a feud between them following the filming of “Titanic.” Cameron explained that Winslet experienced postpartum depression when letting go of her character, Rose, as she tends to go deep into her roles, leaving a lasting impact on her. Winslet expressed sadness that the speculation around their relationship overshadowed the true bond they share.
In interviews leading up to the release of “Titanic,” Winslet had previously spoken out about her difficult experience working with Cameron. She mentioned that she would need a significant amount of money to work with him again and described him as having a strong temper. Despite her initial fear of him, Winslet later came to understand Cameron and is now willing to work with him again, as evidenced by her upcoming role in his next film, “Avatar.”
Winslet will be reprising her role in Cameron’s “Avatar” franchise and has undergone rigorous training to prepare for the physically demanding underwater scenes. She learned to free dive without oxygen for over seven minutes and requested a trainer to help her prepare at her home pool. Cameron praised Winslet’s mental strength and emphasized that her ability to master her mind, body, and voice contributes to her success in both acting and free diving.
Despite the challenges of working with Cameron, Winslet remains open to any challenges and direction he gives her. She expressed her willingness to try anything he asks of her and continues to work closely with him on her performance in his upcoming film. Cameron mentioned that he works with Winslet’s performance every day in the cutting room and highlighted her dedication and talent as an actor.
Learning to free dive for her role in “Avatar: The Way of Water” has given Winslet a sense of hope about her future capabilities. She believes that she, along with her co-star Sigourney Weaver, are strong-willed individuals who have mastery over their minds, bodies, and voices. Winslet’s training and dedication to her role have not only prepared her for the physical challenges of the film but have also inspired her to continue pushing her boundaries in the future.
