Celine Dion weighs in on Titanic door row saying Leo DiCaprio’s Jack should’ve ‘made himself comfy’

Celine Dion weighs in on the Titanic door debate saying Leo DiCaprio’s Jack should’ve ‘made himself comfy’ rather than drown

The debate over the end of Titanic and whether Leo DiCaprio’s Jack could’ve fitted on the door that saved the life of Rose, played by Kate Winslet, has raged for years.

And now Celine Dion has weighed in on the dilemma.

Jimmy Fallon questioned the singer, 51, about it when she appeared on his Tonight Show on Friday. He asked could Jack have survived if ‘Rose just scooted over a little bit?’

Celine who sang the film’s theme song My Heart Will Go On in 1997, was quick to reply. ‘Don’t put me in trouble. What if they want to do a Titanic number two?,’ she joked.

 ‘First of all, if you look closely [at] the picture, Rose is maybe dead or totally frozen, and she’s not quite all there, okay? Second of all, he doesn’t need an invitation. Come on, baby! Make himself comfortable. Jump in. You know?

‘And then who did not think about this guy who is in the middle of the frozen ocean and that maybe all his body is so frozen that he didn’t have the strength to…’ Celine trailed off.

She’s not the first star who’s been asked the same question.

Director James Cameron was forced to explain himself when he spoke to BBC Radio 1’s film critic Ari Plumb in February. He called the idea that the two characters could’ve shared the door a ‘dumba**’ argument that was ‘just stupid.’

In a previous interview with Vanity Fair, the director explained that Jack would have died in the film even if he had climbed on the door.

He said: ‘I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later, but it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die.

‘Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless…the film is about death and separation; he had to die.’ 

Meanwhile, Leo’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood co-stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie also weighed in on his Titanic raft controversy.

‘Could you have squeezed in there? You could’ve, couldn’t you?’ Brad needled his grinning castmate during an MTV News interview in July.

Margot admitted to ‘bawling’ her eyes out when she saw Leo’s tragic scene and agreed that it was the ‘biggest controversy in modern cinema ever.’ 

In 2012 Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters recreated the scene, but the two men only managed to stay afloat out of the water by tying Rose’s life preserver underneath the raft.

At $200 million, Titanic was the most expensive movie ever made at the time but the critically-acclaimed blockbuster went on to amass $2.1 billion at the box office and win 11 Academy Awards.
