Billy Zane has shocked Titanic fans by suggesting that Rose should have stayed with his character Cal.
Titanic, which tells the tragic story of the ill-fated ship, is the second highest-grossing film of all-time behind Cameron’s 2009 fantasy 3D smash Avatar.
Released in November 1997, it became the first movie to reach the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office.
Zane, now 50, was appearing on Today to discuss his new TV series Guilt when talk inevitably turned to the Oscar-winning blockbuster and his bizarre alternative ending.
