‘Avatar 2’: Kate Winslet held her breath underwater for over 7 minutes, beats Tom Cruise's record

Actor Kate Winslet is reuniting with director James Cameron, who helmed her Oscar-winning film ‘Titanic’ (1997). She stars in the forthcoming ‘Avatar’ sequel, titled ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’, as Ronal alongside actors Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, and Sigourney Weaver.

Recently, Kate appeared as a guest on ‘The Graham Norton Show’ and revealed that she held her breath underwater for seven minutes and 15 seconds during a training session for the film. She shared a video of her training with an instructor on the show.

Kate underwent training for three weeks and she learned how to literally distribute the oxygen in her body. She said it was a very detailed, extraordinary process and she really got good at it.

Tom Cruise held the previous record, for six minutes, while filming an underwater stunt for ‘Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation’ in 2015.

A majority of the ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’ cast had to learn free diving before filming their scenes as much of the film takes place in the sea.
