Kate Winslet Loves Her Naked Self!
Kate Winslet is one of the most famous actresses in the world, however Kate is also one of the most outspoken actresses as well. Ask her a question and home girl will not beat around the bush…that’s our kind of girl! In the June issue of Marie Claire’s UK magazine, Kate dishes on life growing up as a chubby kid, aging and losing her first love. Check out some of the highlights of the interview below.
ON GETTING OLD AND WRINKLY:
I don’t mind the way I’m ageing…. I think I look my age, and that’s fine. I don’t think I look younger than 33 and I don’t think I look particularly older than 33. I think I’m sort of holding it together.
ON BEING HER “HEAVIER” IN HER EARLY CAREER:
Things happened in quick succession between the ages of 19 and 22. No wonder I blew up like a balloon. Remember those days? I think it was the Golden Globe year for Titanic, and I was on a red carpet and somebody showed me a picture and I was like, “Fuck, I was enormous.” I don’t particularly remember sitting at home crying and eating endless packets of HobNobs. I don’t remember doing that at all. Honestly, I think it was a stress thing or something. I don’t know.
ON LOSING HER FIRST LOVE:
It’s just awful. And I am the age now that he was when he died, so it’s a big shock. If you lose somebody like that, you never really get over it; you just learn to manage it and live with it. I’m not particularly religious or spiritual, but I do feel him around a little bit, going, ‘You’re all right. Don’t worry.’ Which is amazing.
ON HER NAKEDNESS IN “THE READER”:
I do think it’s important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don’t really look like that. In films I might look glamorous, but I’ve been in hair and make-up for two hours; someone’s been lighting a scene for three hours. With the nudity in The Reader, for example, even I was like, “Damn, I look good.” And that was the lighting – it was a bit of body make-up. I don’t believe in pretending those things don’t go on.
ON CRAVING THAT OSCAR WIN:
There’s nothing bloody wrong with wanting it at all. And anyone who says, “Oh, I don’t know, oh, I’m on the fence…” it’s absolute crap. Of course they want it, deep down. Of course they do.
