Recently, Kate Winslet talked about an uncomfortable moment she had while filming Lee, her new film.
The Award-winning actress Kate Winslet recently talked about an uncomfortable moment she had while filming Lee, where she was told to cover up her natural body. According to Page Six, in a recent interview, Kate Winslet disclosed that, while playing real-life war correspondent Lee Miller in a swimwear scene, a crew member advised her to “sit up straighter” in order to hide what they called her “belly rolls.” “So you can’t see my belly rolls?” Kate Winslet said, recounting the encounter with a belligerent demeanor. Not on your life!”
The 48-year-old actress revealed that in order to keep a softer body appropriate for her role, she purposefully avoided doing strenuous exercise before shooting.
Kate Winslet said, “The opposite,” when asked if she minded her body looking “less-than-perfect” on screen. Because it is my life on my face and that matters, I am proud of it. I would never think to hide that.”
Kate Winslet, who was bullied for her weight in her youth, has long been a supporter of body positivity and self-acceptance.
She remembered being called names like “Blubber” by classmates and being made fun of for being “chubby” in school.
Over her career, Kate Winslet’s erratic weight became a common topic of discussion in tabloids, beginning with the days after her widespread fame from Titanic.
She openly criticized a magazine in 2003, according to Page Six, for digitally manipulating her image on the cover to appear smaller. This move ignited a discussion about how women’s bodies are manipulated by the media.
Kate Winslet has aggressively defied these demands in more recent times.
In 2021, she insisted on having her body uncut during a crucial intimate moment while filming Mare of Easttown.
According to Page Six, Kate Winslet was optimistic about society’s progress toward tolerating a variety of body shapes in a previous interview, saying, “I do feel a huge sense of relief that women are so much more accepting of themselves and refusing to be judged.”
Kate Winslet pledged to end the cycle of self-criticism as she considered the effects of her mother’s self-perception when considering the effects of generational differences on body image.
“We waste so much time being down on ourselves and I’m just not doing it ever again,” she said.
On September 13, 2024, her new picture Lee is set to open in theaters in Britain and Ireland.
