Kate Winslet’s days of doing nude scenes might be numbered, but she hasn’t completely retired from showing off her body. The 2023 movie “Lee,” in which she plays a dramatized version of the real-life World War II-era journalist Lee Miller, also features some revealing moments the performer was nervous about filming. Despite this, she refused to shy away from showcasing her real body, even when her colleagues tried to present her in a certain light.
“I had to be really f***ing brave about letting my body be its softest version of itself and not hiding from that,” Winslet told Vogue. “And believe me, people amongst our own team would say, ‘You might just want to sit up a bit.’ And I’d go, ‘Why? [Because of] the bit of flesh you can see? No, that’s the way it’s going to be!'”
In the same interview, Winslet recalled being bullied for how she looked early on in her career, which prompted her to reject the demanding beauty standards the media deems acceptable for women. The “Titanic” star isn’t interested in adhering to those stereotypes, and she tries to reflect that in her work by embracing her natural appearance, even if some scenes are more daunting to shoot than others.
