Kate Winslet revealed quite a few unknown facts about everybody’s favourite film, Titanic on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Kate Winslet has revealed she auditioned for her part of Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic with Matthew McConaughey. During The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the host said Paramount wanted to cast McConaughey as Jack in the film.
“I auditioned with Matthew, isn’t that weird? I’ve never said that in public before!” Winslet said.

Kate and Stephen also recreated the controversial scene where Jack dies of the cold ocean water upon not being able to fit on the door with Rose. Here, they hopped on Stephen’s desk and find out that the two characters could have indeed fit together.
