It's been almost 20 years since "Titanic," featuring Kate Winslet as Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack, first hit the big screen.

Nearly two decades after the movie's release, Winslet dropped a bombshell during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

The British actress admitted Monday night that she thinks DiCaprio's character Jack, a poor man from Wisconsin that won a ticket for a trip on the regal boat during a poker game, could have lived.

"In a way, you let him freeze to death in the water," Kimmel said.

"I agree. I think he could've actually fitted on that bit of door," Winslet said.

The 40-year-old later talked about her close relationship with DiCaprio, saying the two laugh about the fact that fans get so overwhelmed by "the Jack and Rose thing" -- the love story and relationship the actors' characters had in the legendary movie.

"People are always so excited to see Leo and myself in the same space," she said. "It's quite endearing."
