Kate Winslet’s daughter, Mia Threapleton, recently shared in an interview with Defined magazine that she has never actually seen the entire film “Titanic”. Mia, who is 24 years old and stars in Wes Anderson’s new movie “The Phoenician Scheme”, disclosed that her mother, Kate Winslet, has never opted to watch the iconic film where she starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
“Titanic” catapulted both Winslet and DiCaprio into Hollywood stardom, but Mia’s experience of the film is unique. She recounted a particular scene where her mother shielded her eyes to prevent her from watching a famous sex scene aboard the RMS Titanic. Mia humorously mentioned, “I was like, ‘I can still hear everything!'”

According to Mia, Winslet avoids watching herself on screen, making it understandable why she has never spontaneously put on the movie. Mia is Winslet’s daughter with ex-husband Jim Threapleton. Winslet also has a son, Joe Alfie Mendes, 21, with ex-husband Sam Mendes, and a youngest son, Bear, 11, with her current husband, Edward Abel Smith.
While Mia has never seen “Titanic” in its entirety, it was revealed in September 2024 that Winslet’s son, Bear, watched the film for the first time the previous year. Reportedly, Bear was profoundly moved by the movie, frequently pausing it and shedding tears throughout. Winslet also noted that her older children, including Mia, particularly enjoy watching her in the film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”.
Mia has been carving her own path in the acting industry since her debut in 2014’s “A Little Chaos”. Interestingly, Mia and Winslet had a chance to act together in a 2022 episode of the U.K. series “I Am”, portraying a mother-daughter duo. Mia expressed that her pursuit of acting professionally was not something pushed on her by her mother but a personal choice she made.

“The Phoenician Scheme” marks a significant milestone in Mia’s acting career, and while speaking with Defined magazine, she reflected on the independence and self-driven nature of her journey in the industry. Mia articulately described her approach to acting as something that was cultivated from her own desires and efforts, a sentiment that Winslet profoundly supported.
As “The Phoenician Scheme” hits theatres on May 30, Mia’s story serves as a testament to the unique experiences and perspectives of growing up in a household where the parent is a renowned figure in the entertainment world. Despite having a mother who is a Hollywood icon, Mia has navigated her acting career with autonomy and authenticity, drawing inspiration from Winslet’s own journey in the industry.
In conclusion, Mia Threapleton’s revelation about her unconventional relationship with “Titanic” and her mother’s protective gesture during the film’s infamous scene sheds light on the intricacies of growing up in a celebrity household. her journey in the industry stands as a testament to the importance of carving one’s own path and finding one’s voice amidst familial legacy and expectations.
