The 42-year-old actress says Jack 'should have tried harder' to get on that door.

Titanic would have ended a little differently if Kate Winslet was in charge.

"I auditioned with Matthew -- isn't that weird?" Winslet revealed. "Never said that in public before!"

This isn't the first time Winslet has made a case for her co-star's survival in Titanic. Watch below.
