James Cameron has revealed that he was initially hesitant to cast Kate Winslet as the romantic lead in Titanic, saying that at the time he felt it was “lazy casting.”
Before Winslet, then 22, would go on to star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the Oscar-winning director’s 1997 epic, she had mostly featured in period literary adaptions, including Sense and Sensibility (1995), Jude (1996) and Hamlet (1996).
