Kate Winslet FINALLY weighs in on Titanic door controversy: ‘She wouldn’t have stayed afloat’

Kate Winslet has finally answered the age-old question of whether or not Jack could have fit in with Rose on the door in Titanic.
During a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Winslet, who starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1997 blockbuster, intervened and ended the debate once and for all.
“You heard it here for the first time, yes, it could have fit, it could have fit on that door, but it wouldn’t have stayed afloat. It wouldn’t,” said Winslet, 47.
The actor’s response comes just days after the film’s director, James Cameron, also shared his own insight into the scene, stating that he conducted scientific experiments that proved Jack would not be able to to come to the door.

Both Kate Winslet (left) and director James Cameron (right) have now said they don’t think Jack could have survived with Rose at the door in Titanic.
During the 43-minute talk, “Happy Sad Confused” host Joshua Horowitz questioned Winslet about the door debacle by sharing a video of himself asking DiCaprio the same question a few years ago.
“I have no comment,” Winslet’s former co-star said in the video.
Horowitz then turned his attention to Winslet and asked her the same question about Jack’s fate should he have climbed onto the door with Rose.
“I don’t fucking know. No, that’s the answer, I don’t fucking know,” Winslet said as she laughed at the question.
The actor took a swipe before she thought about it and gave her official response.
“All I can tell you is that I have a decent understanding of water and how it behaves, really,” Winslet said. “If you put two adults on a standup paddleboard, it immediately becomes extremely unstable, that’s for sure.”

The famous scene from the 1997 blockbuster has gone down in cinema history as one of the most hotly debated incidents

While Leonardo DiCaprio said “no comment” when asked if Jack could have made it at the door, Kate Winslet says she believes it was scientifically impossible
“I actually don’t think we would have survived if we both walked through that door,” Winslet said. “I think he could have passed but it would have tipped over and it wouldn’t have been a sustainable idea.”
Immediately after describing why she thought it wouldn’t work, the ‘The Holiday’ actress commented on the hate she received for her body and how critics would fat shame her during the door debates.
“And apparently I was overweight too,” joked Winslet.
“Isn’t it terrible? Why were they so mean to me? You were so mean. I wasn’t even damn fat.’

“And apparently I was too fat, too,” Winslet said, jokingly providing another reason why Jack couldn’t have made it to the door. Winslet has faced body shaming for years

The 1997 film became one of the biggest box office hits of all time
Cameron, 68, and Winslet are currently promoting the new movie Avatar: The Way of Water, which debuted December 16 and grossed an estimated $134 million on its opening weekend.
Just days ago, in another interview, Cameron revealed that he had conducted a scientific study to finally end the debate over whether Leonardo DiCaprio’s character could have gotten out alive.
The director told The Toronto Sun that he did the “forensic study” in the hope that after 25 years he “won’t have to deal with the speculation anymore.”
He said: “We did a scientific study to end this whole thing and put a stake in her heart once and for all. We’ve since conducted a thorough forensic analysis with a hypothermia expert who reproduced the raft from the film, and we’ll be doing a little special on it coming out in February.

“We took two stunt people who were the same body mass as Kate and Leo and we put sensors all over and inside them and we dunked them in ice water and we tested if they would have survived through a variety of methods and the answer was that there was no way either of them could have survived. Only one could survive
‘[Jack] had to die. It’s like Romeo and Juliet. It’s a film about love and sacrifice and mortality. The measure of love is sacrifice… Maybe in 25 years I won’t have to deal with that anymore.”
The “door debate” has become one of the biggest bones of contention in film history.
In 2008, “Mythbusters” created an episode detailing various ways Jack could have been saved. Cameron didn’t buy into her theories, however.
“Okay, let’s really play this through: You’re Jack, you’re in 80 degree water, your brain is starting to get hypothermic, Mythbusters is asking you to take off your life jacket now, take off hers, swim under this thing, fasten it so that.” it is not simply washed out two minutes later.

Adjusted for inflation, Titanic is the third highest-grossing film of all time.
Cameron holds two of the top three spots, with the first “Avatar” film at number one, grossing over $2.9 billion.
