The picture show 'Titanic' was a large hazard for its cast and crew, but it paid off hundreds of times over. Well, it specifically paid millions to James Cameron, the director. But what was then appealing about the moving-picture show that it's withstood the test of timeand renewed the public's involvement in a historical tragedy?

For one matter, it featured a hunky Jack drawing Rose -- nude -- which set off a romance for the ages. But there'due south a catch: Jack didn't actually draw Rose in the flick.

Did Leonardo DiCaprio Depict Rose In 'Titanic'?

The risque portrait of Rose in 'The Titanic' looks pretty authentic. Fans can lookout man the mitt move across the folio, sketching out a pretty impressive drawing of Kate Winslet. But it wasn't really Leonardo DiCaprio who created the slice of artwork.

It may take looked similar he did, only Jack wasn't really writing at all. In fact, it was someone else'southward hand altogether in the footage.

AsBusiness Insider revealed, there was yet another cloak-and-dagger in the film, and it centers on whether Jack is right-handed or left-handed.

Who Really Drew The Portrait In 'Titanic'?

According toBusiness Insider's sources, Leonardo DiCaprio is a total junk artist. He can't draw, says the publication, so that sketch of his on-screen beloved interest would've turned out terribly had Leo actually put pencil to paper.

Instead of having their star lead practise his best at a stick effigy rendition of Rose, the crew of 'Titanic' took things into their own easily (pun somewhat intended).

The truth is, James Cameron himself sketched the portrait, and recorded himself doing and so. PerBusiness Insider, the hand in the scene is James', and the director is a multi-talented mogul who is as well an "achieved illustrator."

I take hold of, though.

Leonardo is right-handed, and James is left-handed. So the studio used some advanced-at-the-time movie magic to mirror-image the manus doing its work. Then, they spliced the film together and so that it looked like Jack was drawing Rose with his correct hand when really it was James doing it with his left.

Talk near movie magic, right?

Information technology'south true that Celine Dion may take saved the film with her heart-stopping theme vocal, only James saved an of import scene with his artistic talent. And though information technology was a bit of a secret all these years, anybody on set knew the truth.

Though the portrait itself was notorious because of its subject, the art itself was well-washed, to the point where someone bid $16K for it at an auction, saysABC News.

Even a piece of paper and pencil dust from the fix of 'Titanic' was expensive!
