'If you see this, I'm sorry': TikToker's hilariously awkward mid-flight moment with Kate Winslet

TikToker Chris Olsen has 'apologised' to Kate Winslet after an awkward mid-flight interaction with the actress, which featured the one and only Celine Dion.

In a video posted to his account, the content creator recounted the brief run-in he had with the Oscar-winning actress on a recent flight from Cannes to London. 

Olsen revealed he had accidentally played Dion's iconic hit My Heart Will Go On out loud, not realising until afterwards that Winslet had been sitting two seats over from him.

The track led the soundtrack of the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, which Winslet famously played the female lead in.

"I need to start paying attention to my surroundings more because i cannot keep embarrassing myself like this", Olsen, a popular TikTok star with 10.2 million followers, began his video. 

The TikToker says he was settling in for the flight when he connected his AirPods to shuffle through some Celine Dion hits. 

Olsen explained the singer was "on his mind" after Dion had cancelled upcoming 2023 and 2024 tour dates due to struggling with a neurological disorder called 'stiff person syndrome'. 

"She cancelled her tour, and so they were playing a bunch of her songs on the news", Olsen told his followers.

"I'm just kind of skipping through her top hits ... It's All Coming Back to Me Now plays for a second, I Surrender plays for a second, My Heart Will Go On plays for a little bit and this is all happening out loud but I don't realise it". 

It was at this point the TikToker noticed the passenger in the window seat of his row kept looking over at him. 

"The middle seat between us is empty," Olsen explained, before joking, "For a moment I'm like, 'Is she a fan?'"

Olsen then realised he had been in the wrong row, and was directed by the flight attendant to his correct seat. 

"As I'm getting up to go and I'm saying sorry to the woman who's in the window seat, I, like, look at her face and I'm like, 'She looks familiar'."

It wasn't until the mysterious woman pulled out a script that it clicked for Olsen that he has been sitting next to the Kate Winslet.

"As Celine Dion continues to play in my ear, I realise what is going on," he recalls, sharing a photo he had snapped of Winslet's side profile from the row behind. 

Olsen then proved it was without a doubt Winslet by sharing photos of a jacket draped over the plane seat, which appears to be the exact same one the actress was pictured arriving to the Cannes Film Festival in the previous day.

"If this photo doesn't convince, you look at the jacket," he said, before finishing the video by face-planting on his bed from embarrassment.

Olsen posted the TikTok with the hilarious all-caps caption, "KATE IF YOU SEE THIS I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW."

Winslet is supposedly not a fan of My Heart Will Go On, which makes the interaction that much funnier.
