Kate Winslet humorously commented on surpassing Tom Cruise's underwater breath-holding record while filming "Avatar: The Way of Water". Winslet achieved an impressive seven minutes and 47 seconds, eclipsing Cruise's six minutes set during "Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation" in 2015. Despite never having met Cruise, Winslet joked about him being tired of the story, expressing her own astonishment and pride in her underwater feat.

With some playful humility, Winslet credited her husband Edward Abel Smith for supporting her training. As a fit and skilled individual, Smith ensured Winslet practiced safely, emphasizing the importance of having a partner, similar to scuba diving. Winslet's accomplishment is both a testament to her dedication and a lighthearted moment shared at Cruise's expense.
