10 Actors Who Distanced Themselves From What Made Them Great

6. Kate Winslet - Titanic

It doesn't matter where Kate Winslet is in the world, one thing can always be guaranteed...a comment about her role as Rose in James Cameron's Titanic (1997) will always find a way to dwarf whatever buzz she has drummed up for her next undoubtedly brilliant turn.

Going on record in the build up to the Titanic 3D release in 2012, Winslet mentioned how her nude scenes horrified her and how she felt nauseous whenever Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On found its way into her head.

Getting onto boats has now also become a mammoth task in itself, with Winlset confessing how she has to beg for 'no jokes' whenever stepping onto a floating vessel - pleading with fans to 'move on from that.'

Winslet has carved out a spectacular career since she first told Leonardo DiCaprio to 'draw her like one of (his) French girls' and has - whether actively or not - filled her CV with enough highlights to nudge the record-breaking flick to one side.

Whether it be her role in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) or her re-teaming with DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008) Winslet has successfully managed to distance herself from her star-making performance.
