Kate Winslet recognized more for ‘The Holiday’ than ‘Titanic’

It’s been 84 years since “Titanic” — or seems like it.

Kate Winslet claims that she gets stopped more often for her 2006 rom-com “The Holiday” rather than the 1997 drama that made her famous, “Titanic.”

“People come up to me in the streets more about ‘The Holiday’ and the episode of ‘Extras’ that I did than ‘Titanic,’” she said during “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday.

The British actress appeared on an episode of the sitcom “Extras” in 2005, where she played a fictionalized version of herself.

Years earlier, she starred as Rose DeWitt Bukater in the James Cameron-directed drama, alongside a young Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson.

After becoming a household name, Winslet went on to major success — and joined “The Holiday” in 2006. She played an unlucky in love journalist named Iris and starred alongside Jack Black, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz.

According to Winslet, many women approach her about the beloved movie.

“Especially at Christmas, and what’s so lovely is that mothers and daughters come up to me in the grocery store and they say, ‘OK, we just love ‘The Holiday.’ It’s our little ritual at Christmas,’” she told host Jimmy Fallon. “And they have things that they eat every year.”

She continued: “They sit down, it’s a tradition, and I just love that. That’s something I never would have expected, this sort of mother-daughter connection around a film like that. It’s so nice. It’s lovely.”

Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that Robert Downey Jr. auditioned for “The Holiday” by using an English accent.

“I thought he was doing Australian and I thought, ‘That’s bad, that’s not gonna work. Who’s gonna tell him that? That sounds dreadful.’”

Fallon then explained that he thought the “Oppenheimer” star’s Australian accent “sounded great.”

“This is perfect, but I don’t think the character is supposed to be Australian,” Fallon quipped.

“It wasn’t actually that great, but that’s really sweet of you to say that,” Winslet laughed.

Fallon also had tried out for a part in “The Holiday.” Winslet looked back on the comedian’s own audition.

“This is a really real story, which I remember extremely well. I really do,” she said. “So we were sort of told that you [Fallon] were coming in to do, well I thought it was just like a reading, we were just going to have a fun read of the script. I didn’t realize you were auditioning for the part. I’m so sorry you didn’t get it.”

The “Mare of Easttown” actress then noted that Fallon was “very sick, and you were obsessively hand sanitizing, and I thought, ‘OK, he’s one of those people.’”

While Fallon confessed that he was riddled with illness at the time, he didn’t want to pass it up because it was sick “an opportunity of a lifetime to act with you guys.”

Although she’s most recognized for “The Holiday,” Winslet did get a best friend out of DiCaprio, 49, from “Titanic.” But the Oscar-winning blockbuster smash also came with a downside.

Earlier this month, she described the publicity surrounding “Titanic” as a “horrible” experience.

“I felt like I had to look a certain way or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant,” she told Porter magazine. “Journalists would always say, ‘After ‘Titanic,’ you could have done anything and yet you chose to do these small things.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, you bet your f – – kin’ life I did! Because, guess what, being famous was horrible.’”
