Could Jack have survived in the final moments of "Titanic" is a question that still haunts fans 20 years later but just don't ask actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Fans have long argued that Rose should have made room for Jack on the floating piece of lumber after Titanic's sinking. Rose, who lay atop the door, survived in the end while Jack, who held on to the edge, froze to his death in the icy Atlantic waters.

Both director James Cameron and actor Kate Winslet have weighed in on the scene but DiCaprio refused to get drawn into the debate despite gentle coaxing from his "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-stars Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.

During an interview with MTV, DiCaprio was asked, "Could Jack have fit on that door at the end of "Titanic"?
Jumping into the conversation, Robbie said, "Oh my gosh, I thought it. I remember bawling my eyes out when I was a (little) girl" but a taciturn DiCaprio said, "I have no comment."
When the question was put to Pitt, he said, "That is funny. Well, I'm going to go back and look now, shoot."
The actor then turned to DiCaprio to slyly ask: "Could you have squeezed there? You could've, couldn't you?"
Cameron had called Jack
When the question was put to Kate Winslet by popular TV host Jimmy Kimmel, she had teased, "I agree! I think he could have actually fitted on that bit of door."
