The two actors hid their makeup in their characters’ costumes. “I ended up looking like I had licked a caramel chocolate bar after every take because his makeup rubbed off on me,” Winslet said.

Additionally, the actress’ costumes made it difficult for her to breathe because they were too tight. “I look at this and all I can remember is how I couldn’t breathe in that damn corset,” she said reacting to the scenes.

Despite the ordeal, Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress for “Titanic”. The film was directed by James Cameron and released in 1997.
