Bill Hader Says He Was Fired From Movie Theater Job for Spoiling Titanic

Comedian recalls being dismissed from movie theater role after telling a group of patrons how Titanic ends.

Before Bill Hader became widely known for Saturday Night Live and later earned acclaim for HBO’s Barry, he held a short-lived job at a movie theater—a position he said ended after one particularly awkward exchange involving Titanic and a group of sorority students.

Speaking on Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney, now streaming on Netflix, Hader recalled the incident that led to his dismissal. The actor explained that he was working at a theater just before Titanic was released in 1997, when a sorority group arrived after reserving the auditorium.

“They were in the doorway and I was going, ‘Hey, guys. Can you guys move?’” he said. “They were making fun of me. They said I looked like Charles Manson. Which I kinda did. I had a little bowtie on and cummerbund.”

When the group refused to move, Hader said he decided to respond while tearing their tickets. “Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies,” he told them. “They were like, ‘No, he doesn’t.’ I go, ‘Yeah, you think he’s asleep. But he’s frozen.’”

According to Hader, his manager approached him shortly after and informed him that he was being let go. “The [manager] came down smiling, and he was like, ‘Hey, Bill. I have to fire you.’ He loved it. Couldn’t look me in the eye, though.”

Hader has shared variations of this story in interviews over the years, but his appearance on John Mulaney’s Netflix special drew renewed attention to the incident, especially among fans of both actors and the 1997 film.

Titanic, directed by James Cameron, became a box office phenomenon upon its release, eventually winning 11 Academy Awards. Its final moments, which see Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jack freezing in the North Atlantic while Kate Winslet’s Rose survives on a wooden door, have remained a subject of pop culture debate.

Cameron addressed the longstanding argument about the door during the film’s 25th anniversary in 2023. He commissioned a scientific study with stunt performers and hypothermia experts to replicate the scene using a reproduction of the raft. The results indicated that both characters could not have survived under the same conditions.

“We did a thorough forensic analysis,” Cameron said at the time. “Only one could survive.”

While some viewers still question whether both characters could have stayed afloat, Cameron has said that Jack’s choice was consistent with his role in the story. “I think his thought process was, I’m not going to do one thing that jeopardizes her,” he told reporters in 2023.

Hader’s brief theater job ended decades ago, but the story continues to surface in interviews, often used to reflect on the earlier, less glamorous parts of his career. The recent retelling adds a new footnote to the ongoing conversation around one of film’s most heavily discussed endings.
