She was in a tank 37 meters high containing almost a million liters of water.
So how did the

star manage to achieve this feat?
During an interview with the American media

in 2018, Kate Winslet explained that she had to learn to dive to play her role in

"It was simply incredible. My longest apnea was seven minutes and 14 seconds,” she enthused.

The actress recently caused a stir at the film's premiere in London alongside fellow cast members Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, and Sam Worthington.
Kate Winslet gushed about joining the cast during an
