<p>Movie director James Cameron said in a recent interview that &#8220;Titanic&#8221; actress Kate Winslet was &#8220;traumatized&#8221; from making the blockbuster film.</p>
<p>The remarks from Cameron come after he gave an interview with The Hollywood Reporter at the end of November about the second film of the Avatar movie franchise — “Avatar: The Way Of Water” — which took a decade to make and hits theaters later this month.</p>
<p>Cameron and Winslet reunited at an event for the upcoming movie, which hits theaters on December 16.</p>
<p>While speaking to the press, Winslet said that she might watch &#8220;Titanic&#8221; in honor of the 25th anniversary since the film was released but cautioned that she hates watching films that she has appeared in.</p>

<p>&#8220;Well, I might. I mean, I&#8217;m just not very good at watching myself on screen. It&#8217;s not just ‘Titanic,’ like I don&#8217;t like watching myself in anything,&#8221; she said on Monday. &#8220;I guess I probably will watch it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m 47 years old now, guys, and I turned 21 when we were shooting that movie. So, it&#8217;s like half my lifetime ago,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It&#8217;s amazing and incredible to have been part of something that&#8217;s, you know, so steeped in nostalgia for people and still resonates with people in the way that it does. It&#8217;s a huge, huge honor that people still love something that I was a part of all those years ago.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/james-cameron-says-kate-winslet-195258093.html">interview</a> with the Radio Times, Cameron said that he thought Winslet &#8220;came out of ‘Titanic’ a bit traumatized by the scale of the production and her responsibility within it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve both been eager over time to work together again, to see what the other is about at this point in our lives and careers,&#8221; he added. &#8220;She&#8217;s very large and in charge on set. You&#8217;d swear she was producing the film.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his November interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cameron <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/movie-director-james-cameron-testosterone-a-toxin-that-men-should-work-out-of-their-system">said</a> that testosterone was a “toxin” that men should work out of their system.</p>
<p>Cameron, 68, said that he has changed as he has gotten older as his “F-bomb-laden shouting matches with executives is behind him,” the publication said.</p>
<p>“A lot of things I did earlier, I wouldn’t do — career-wise and just risks that you take as a wild, testosterone-poisoned young man,” he said. “I always think of [testosterone] as a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system.”</p>
<p>During the interview, Cameron <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/titanic-director-says-diva-like-attitude-almost-cost-leonardo-dicaprio-his-iconic-role">said</a> that Leonardo DiCaprio’s “diva-like attitude” nearly cost him the iconic role of Jack in the 1997 blockbuster “<a href="https://dailywire.com/news/young-actor-shares-advice-he-got-from-leonardo-dicaprio-early-in-his-career/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Titanic</a>.”</p>
<p>Cameron explained that his first meeting with <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/thank-you-leo-christian-bale-claims-hes-only-gotten-leonardo-dicaprios-rejects-in-hollywood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DiCaprio</a> actually went very well — although he noted that he was amused that all of the women associated with the production suddenly had a reason to be in the room for the actor’s first appearance.</p>
<p>“There was a meeting with Leo and there was a screen test with Leo,” Cameron reflected, adding, “So the meeting was funny, because I’m in my conference room waiting to meet an actor, right? And I look around, and all the women in the entire office are in the meeting for some reason. Like, there’s a female executive producer, okay, fine. But our accountant? You know, why was she in the meeting?”</p>
<p>Cameron laughed again, saying that he realized as he looked around the room that they had all just wanted to meet DiCaprio.</p>
<p>“So Leo came in — of course, charmed everybody, myself included,” Cameron continued, noting that actress Kate Winslet had already been chosen to play the part of Rose. “And I said, ‘Alright, let’s see what your chemistry’s like with Kate.’”</p>
<p>So DiCaprio was asked to come back for a meeting with Winslet, and he agreed — but when he arrived and Cameron asked him to read with her, the “Romeo + Juliet” star balked.</p>
<p>“He said, ‘You mean I’m reading?’” Cameron recalled. “And I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Oh, I don’t read.’”</p>
<p>The “Avatar” director’s response was to immediately thank DiCaprio for his time, at which point Cameron said the actor back-pedaled quickly. “He said, ‘Wait, wait, wait. You mean if I don’t read, I don’t get the part? Just like that?’”</p>
<p>Cameron said his reply was simple: “I said, ‘Oh, yeah. Come on. This is, like, a giant movie that’s gonna take two years of my life … so I’m not gonna f*** it up by making the wrong decision in casting. So you’re gonna read, or you’re not gonna get the part.’”</p>
