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.
