Billy Zane Thinks Rose Should’ve Given Cal Hockley Another Chance in ‘Titanic’

Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Billy Zane was on Today where he was asked about one of his most famous characters, Cal Hockley from Titanic. It was one of the most successful films of all time, but even years later, people have a hard time disassociating Zane from the notoriously evil character he played. When asked whether people still think he’s that villainous character, Zane responded “Every day. They do. ‘Where is the diamond?’ ‘You’re a terrible shot!’ ‘I don’t know what she was thinking.’ You get that one. Or ‘how could you?’”

But when asked if Rose, his love interest in the film, should have stayed with Cal instead of Jack, Zane gave a surprising answer. “Do I? Come on. Of course.” said Zane, “Sure. Yes. I think he found redemption. I wish he had found her on the Carpathia and was able to right his wrongs.” Whether Zane actually believes that is a subject for debate, considering his laughter after the question was posited.
