Over 20 years after Titanic hit cinemas, Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has finally been asked to weigh in on the hit film's major point of contention: Could Jack have fit on the door alongside Rose, thereby ensuring his survival and rectifying the tragic ending?

Given how many debates we've seen over the years, it's a wonder that DiCaprio hasn't addressed this issue yet, reported Instyle. But in an interview with MTV to promote his upcoming film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the superstar finally acknowledged the dilemma. Well,  kind of.

Sitting alongside co-stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, DiCaprio chuckled told the interviewer “I have no comment" when asked about the matter.

Robbie and Pitt, however, were a little less coy about the whole situation. “Oh my gosh, I thought it," Robbie said. "I remember bawling my eyes out when I was a girl." Pitt asked, “Could you, could you have squeezed in there? You could’ve, couldn’t you?”



DiCaprio, however, repeated that he had no comment, much to the dismay of fans all over.

In 2017, co-star Kate Winslet was asked the same question during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert but she made no moves to defend her character for letting go of Jack's hand. "Plus... he just should've tried harder to get on that door," she added. "I think he would have [got on]."
