While filming the sequel of director and screenwriter James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way of the Water," the star impressed her colleagues in the film by setting a new record among actors in freediving. Her result is 6 minutes and 50 seconds.

This is reported by Finance.yahoo. It is known that the 47-year-old celebrity overcooled herself during the filming of "Titanic" in 1997. She promised herself she would never work with Cameron again, but still some reason prompted her to change her mind.
