Kate Winslet Finally Gave 'Titanic' Fans the Ending They Deserve


Kate Winslet knows what Titanic fans have been wondering for the past 20 years: Why didn’t Jack get on the door with Rose?! (Yes, it’s been almost two decades since you first realized nothing is quite as romantic as a frozen Leonardo DiCaprio.) So last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert she gave the people what they wanted, regardless of what director James Cameron thought they needed: proof that both her character Rose and Leo’s Jack could have floated on that door together, saving them both the frozen depths of the Atlantic and thus leading to a long life of couples horseback rides and spending the money that diamond could have gotten them.

When Winslet confessed she knew Jack could have fit on the door—actually she put the burden on him, saying he “could have tried harder” to fit on the floating bit of wood—Colbert offered to play the role of Jack while Winslet stretched out on his desk, just like she did all those years ago. As the host held her hands in the freezing cold water/hard floor, his Rose urged him to skip the watery grave, insisting, “Come on darling, there’s room for two.” And with that, the talk show host lifted himself up on the desk, the two easily sharing the raft together.

Besides creating what will undoubtedly be the best bonus footage for the 20th-anniversary release, Winslet did answer some questions about her time on the set. She explained that, contrary to some circulating factoids, she suffered from hypothermia, not pneumonia, from spending so long in the icy water, and that while her son has seen some of the film (in its 3-D re-release) she covered his eyes during the racier bit.

In case you missed it, Titanic is back in theaters for one week only starting Friday. If the sad ending is too much for you even after all these years, just close your eyes, and picture the clip below.
