Billy Zane has decided to let it go.

The actor, 59, who played Caledon Hockley in “Titanic,” admits that he doesn’t rewatch the 1997 blockbuster hit, which won an Oscar for best picture.

“No, but I get sent photos. When it’s on, my phone blows up because everyone’s [sending]. I have more photos of flat screen TVs in nondescript rooms. It’s like, ‘Hey you’re on!’” Zane exclusively told The Post at the red carpet premiere for his new Western “Day of Reckoning.”

The film follows a poor artist named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio), who falls in love with Kate Winslet’s Rose Dewitt Bukater, a rich debutante, while the pair are aboard the “unsinkable” RMS Titanic in 1912.

The James Cameron-directed drama also starred Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart and Victor Garber.

Although Zane may not be pressing play on the iconic film, he does, however, keep in touch with some of the star-studded cast.

“Frances and Leo. Kate not as much because she lives in England, I see her occasionally. Kathy. Rochelle [Rose].”

In 2022, Zane reflected on his time on “Titanic” in honor of the movie’s 25th anniversary.

“It’s a great honor, to be honest. It’s a wonderful film and it holds up,” he told Vulture.

“During production, I had the feeling that we were making something significant,” Zane said about the project that took home 11 Academy Awards.

The “Waltzing With Brando” star added, “I think that was shared with some members of the cast and crew. Others, I think, were a little more stressed about the delivery, understandably so. I won’t say skeptical, but certainly preoccupied. We had the luxury to be able to marvel at the sheer undertaking.”

These days, Zane has a slew of iconic roles under his belt, and is now set to star in the action-packed film from director Shaun Silva.

“It was thrilling to play. I’ve done quite a few [Westerns]. This one is really fun because it has all the tropes of a classic but really seeped in a modern tale,” he told the Post. “Complete with hip-hop western music underneath and wicked gunplay. Really great characters. But the same dynamics, the same kind of archetypes with a slightly skewed moral compass.”

“So things aren’t what they seem,” he went on. “So as a character study, it’s fascinating.”

Zane also took on the iconic role of playing Marlon Brando in his upcoming movie “Waltzing With Brando.”

“We’re so excited about the film. It’s coming out in the summertime in theaters. It’s been a passion project of mine for like six years. We really wanted to tell the story,” Zane gushed. “The only way to play him was as if he would, which is to not give a heck!”

“Day of Reckoning” hits theaters March 28.
