Enough to plunge our dear Jack Dawson even further into the depths of the ocean.
The British star backs up his remarks. She confides in particular that the scene was complicated to film: firstly because she was responsible for doing her and DiCaprio’s makeup touch-ups between takes, given that the crew was not able to reach them. quickly. And then, because the actual kiss was “ruined” when the two foundations – in different tones – ended up blending together. “We kept doing this kiss… With the makeup running, I ended up looking like I licked caramel.”
