Surely most Hollywood stars choose their profession to marvel at themselves on the silver screen.
But Kate Winslet admits she wanted to ‘block my ears’ when witnessing the legendary Titanic in 3D.
The epic disaster film, in which the British actress starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, is being re-released to honour the 100th anniversary since the sinking of the famous cruise ship.
Referring to her first sneak peek, she said: ‘I was literally like, “Oh God, make it stop! Is that me? Oh my God, that’s me. Block my ears, somebody! Somebody club out my senses. Make it f***ing stop!”‘
Speaking on the Chiambretti Wednesday Show, an Italian programme filmed in Milan, the Oscar-winner added: ‘A whole new generation is going to get to experience the film.
‘It’s very exciting that I can actually sit with them (her children Mia, 11, and eight-year-old Joe) – together – and we can all watch it in a movie theatre. That is going to be quite amazing, actually.’
The 36-year-old looked effortlessly stylish in her trademark all-black ensemble, teaming a pencil skirt and jacket with a pair of peep toe Christian Louboutin heels.
Larking about with the host, Kate allowed petite Piero Chiambretti to perch on her knee as she sat on a large gold throne.She also crouched down beside him while they stood in front of a mock fireplace on the television set in a bid to become the same height as him.
Titanic, which scooped 11 Oscars and grossed $1.8billion worldwide, is set for re-release in April.There is also a new ITV series in the pipeline, with Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes on board.
Producer Nigel Stafford-Clark said: ‘I felt that James Cameron [the film's director] had pretty much said it all… and then I suddenly thought, actually there is a way of doing this and it hasn’t been done before, and it’s something that I would be really interested in doing.
‘Cameron was basically making a love story… This will be the almost polar opposite of that… a whole lot of stories of different people from different parts of society weaving in and out of each other.’
