Since the great success of the 11-Oscar winning film the Titanic, director James Cameron, has been accused of being a nightmare to work with.
From overworking his casts to not allowing them to take bathroom breaks, he's came in for criticism. However, to work around this difficult stimulation, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio found their own creative yet disgusting way to get some quick relief on set.
Classy yet resourceful actress Winslet has opened up on how while on set she would sometimes sneak away to pee in the water tank.
She confessed: "Yes, I admit to sometimes peeing in that water. Because you wanted to get it right. You didn’t want to have to get out and go to the bathroom, which would take half an hour with corsets and dresses and all that sort of thing.
Continuing to Rolling Stone, she said: "So yeah, I peed. I mean, it’s the same with a swimming pool - do you really about what’s in it?"
At the time of filming, Winslet was new to acting and immediately took the orders of the director, even with the ridiculous order of not allowing the cast to go for bathroom breaks to save time. It has also be reported that the dedicated director would nail the phones of his stars and crew onto the wall and threaten to fire them if they took a restroom break.
So not only did the leading lady take to this habit, but her good friend and movie love interest Leonardo DiCaprio did too. According to a report by Buzzfeed, Leo and Kate both took to relieving themselves in the water tank swimming to opposite sides to pee. During filming DiCaprio would reportedly say to Winslet: "Sweetie, sweetie, I gotta pee."
Despite the unusual circumstances, Winslet and DiCaprio both took off to stardom in Hollywood after the premiere of the Titanic and has since been known as one of the most iconic historical romances of all time.
The famous director has also made recent headlines when giving his input on the Titan submersible craft, a small submarine-like vessel that went down to visit the Titanic wreckage. Cameron shared his assessment of the submersible in a series of interviews after hearing the news of its destruction, describing the vessel as a "fundamentally-flawed carbon hull" criticising OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush’s design and saying that it was unsafe for the group to make the journey.
