Actress Kate Winslet has starred in the new film "Avatar" by James Cameron. She spoke directly about the process and about her immersion under water for seven whole minutes. Writes about it Фокус with a link to the Daily Mail.
Kate specially trained in freediving for the sake of filming and even set her own record by submerging underwater for as much as 7 minutes and 14 seconds. However, she admitted that she is unlikely to repeat this experience.
“God, this is just wonderful! Your mind escapes completely. You are just looking at the bubbles below you. My first words when I surfaced were: "Am I dead?" Yes, I thought I was dead, ”the actress said in an interview.
The dive was controlled and the trainer and her husband Ned, who also trained in freediving with her, was with the actress at all times. But he, according to the actress, endured less than his wife, and simply passed out.

Later, Kate admitted, they say, she did not know that she broke Tom Cruise's record for underwater filming (he spent six minutes underwater in the film Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation).
“It's so funny because I really don't read reviews or media material. And I’m not on Instagram, so people just came up to me and said, “My God, seven minutes,” and I asked how they found out, ”the actress shared.
About her record dive, Kate said that although it was “great”, she would not dare to do this anymore. But she really enjoyed working with Cameron again. They first met on the set of the movie Titanic in 1997.
In June 2020, Cameron and his team returned to filming the second part of "Avatar" in New Zealand, because they had to be interrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film is scheduled to premiere in December 2022. The story will tell about Jake Sully, his girlfriend Neytiri and their children. As it has already become clear from the leaked rumors, events will unfold in that part of Pandora's planet that is covered with oceans.
Previously, Sigourney Weaver spoke about the filming. She also had to learn to freedive and dive for six minutes. By the way, the record is 24 minutes.
