14 DAY TRIAL // As the world is preparing for the 3D re-release of James Cameron's biggest movie until “Avatar,” “Titanic,” there's one person who will probably not rush into the theater to see it – and that person is Kate Winslet herself.
Fans must already know that Kate played the leading lady in the film: she was the young Rose, who fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack and who survived the terrible crash that claimed so many lives.
One would expect her to be among the first people to want to see the story re-told in 3D.
Still, that's not the case, as she says in a new interview with Ladies' Home Journal, as cited by Us Weekly.
Always the perfectionist, Kate says she can't really watch her early movies because she believes she wasn't that much of an actress back then.
Her fans, of course, would beg to differ.
“I’m sure I wasn’t really a very good actress. Seriously, we are talking about something that happened 15 years ago. It is a very long time ago,” she says of watching herself in “Titanic.”
It wasn't a very good experience, it would seem.
“I was literally like, 'Oh my God, make it stop! Is that me? Oh my God, that’s me. Block my ears, somebody! Somebody club out my senses. Make it [expletive]-ing stop!'” Kate recalls of her initial reaction to the 18 minutes of “Titanic 3D” she's seen.
“I’ve learned so much, and I’ve changed as a person so much since then. It is really quite weird. Can you imagine anything stranger? It’s going to be like famous all over again, Titanic all over again!” she jokes.
Still, that's not to say that Kate isn't looking forward to having “Titanic” introduced to new audiences, which is what will happen when the 3D version hits the screens on April 6 this year.
