The actress explains why she still cringes over her Titanic nude scene and refuses to sign copies of that naked drawing
When Kate Winslet stripped down for that steamy portrait-drawing scene in Titanic, she never thought the pictures would still be following her around 17 years later.
The 38-year-old actress revealed to Yahoo! that her fans have a somewhat creepy habit of printing out copies of the drawing that Leonardo DiCaprio's character did of her in the hit 1997 film - and asking her to sign them.
Even worse? They also print out screengrabs of her actually naked, posing for the sketch.
'I don't sign that [picture],' Kate said. 'It feels very uncomfortable. Why would you do that? People ask me to sign that a lot.'
She continued, 'There's a photo of it as well that someone has lifted from a still of the film, and that photo gets passed around too. I'm like "No! I didn't mean for it to be a photograph that I would end up seeing still 17 years later."'
