LOS ANGELES, Sept 24: Kate Winslet has shared an intriguing detail about the iconic door scene from Titanic. During a Q&A at an advance screening of her upcoming film Lee in New York City on Monday, Sept. 23, the much-debated door moment from the 1997 film resurfaced.

For years, there has been speculation about whether Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jack Dawson, could have fit on the piece of floating balsa wood alongside Winslet's Rose DeWitt Bukater after the ship sank.

As Winslet, 48, spoke with Josh Horowitz at the event, she noted that the water was not nearly as deep as it appeared in the movie. She added that it was quite easy for her to get in and out of the tank during filming, even when she needed to use the restroom.

Winslet admitted that DiCaprio, 49, has likely developed "PTSD" from being asked about the viral door moment repeatedly. She commented on shooting the scene, saying, "Well, that was quite an awkward tank ... because to burst the bubble, it was waist height at that time."

She explained, "So first of all, I was regularly like, 'Can I just go for a pee?' And then I get up, get off the door, walk to the edge of the tank, sort of 20 feet away, and I literally have to fling my leg over and climb up and come and get back on the door again. It's terrible," she shared at NYC's Kaufmann Concert Hall.

"Anyway, yeah. So it was waist-high. Leo, I’m afraid to say, was kneeling down. I shouldn’t be saying this; James Cameron's gonna be ringing me," Winslet joked about possibly receiving a reprimand from the director for revealing film secrets.

She further explained, "Actually, the amazing thing about the edges of the tank was that it was an infinity tank. There was constant water rushing, and you could hear the constant sound of water." Winslet noted that everyone is "entirely looped" in with "the last 22 minutes" of the movie because of the continuous water noise.

In another part of the discussion, Winslet reminisced about sneaking into a movie theater in NYC to watch Titanic for the first time with two friends. "When it premiered in London, I was really unwell. I had terrible food poisoning and was actually in the hospital in London, which was really weird. When it came out in the U.S., I was at the funeral of a boyfriend," the British star recounted.

She reflected, "I mean, it’s a horrible thing to even think about now. And obviously, I wasn’t going to miss that, so I sort of missed everything surrounding the release of Titanic, which I don’t know, is that the universe’s way of protecting me or just reminding me to do the things that matter?" Winslet described the experience as "quite strange" to be in a "packed theater" watching the film under those circumstances.

These recent comments from Winslet follow her interview with PORTER published in February, where she discussed the discomfort she felt regarding her fame after Titanic's release. "I felt like I had to look a certain way or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant," Winslet revealed.

However, the Academy Award winner insisted, "It’s not a burden, any of it," adding, "[Titanic] continues to bring people huge amounts of joy. The only time I’m like, ‘Oh God, hide,' is if we are on a boat somewhere."

Winslet’s new film, Lee, is set to hit theaters on Sept. 27.
