Kate Winslet has revealed why she regretted filming a scene from one of her most successful movies.

The actor has starred in a plethora of iconic films, from Titanic to The Holiday and Avatar: The Way of the Water.

But which one does she look back on and feel not so happy about?

Well, the scene in question is from 1997 release Titanic.

Winslet plays the role of 17-year-old upper class Philadelphian Rose DeWitt Bukater and the actor was 22-years-old when the romantic disaster film came out.

She stars alongside Leonardo DiCaprio who plays third-class traveler Jack Dawson - and the pair later fall in love, but their romance comes to a rather crushing end.

An iconic moment in the movie sees Rose drawn by Jack and Winslet is basically butt-naked for the scene - well, apart from wearing Rose's 'The Heart of the Ocean' necklace that is.

So, how does Winslet feel when she looks back on the scene?

To put it plainly, the actor doesn't like it.

And in an interview with The Sun in 2012, she admitted that she had some regrets about how she dealt with the scene.

Winslet said: "I’m not going to look. I’ll be in the bar by that point.

"I wish I hadn’t shown so much flesh but I was young and I knew I had things to prove."

In an interview with Yahoo! in 2014, Winslet further noted that the scene continues to 'haunt' her - with fans of the movie often asking her to sign her autograph on photographs from the scene.

The actor said she 'doesn't sign' this photo because it makes her feel 'very uncomfortable'.

"Why do people do this? People ask me to sign that [picture] a lot," she continued.

"I didn’t want it to become a photograph that I would continue to see [seventeen years] later.

"It’s still haunting me. It’s quite funny really.”

James Cameron has previously spoken out about how he thinks Winslet was left 'a bit traumatized' after working on Titanic as a result of the 'scale of the production' and Winslet's 'responsibility within it'.

And having naked pictures of herself shoved in her face to sign, as well as having horrible 'fat-shaming' comments thrown at her over why Jack couldn't also fit on the door in that other iconic scene from the movie - it's no wonder Winslet doesn't look back on the movie and her more stripped back scene with the utmost excitement.
