Kate Winslet opens up about doing nude scenes despite experiencing body shaming
Winslet described herself as a "fat-backed kid wearing the wrong f**king shoes. I was always told I was the wrong shape. I I was repeatedly informed that I would have to settle for a lower price." When the interviewer asked why she doesn't settle for less, the actress joked, "Because I'm not going to take that from anyone. I should know better than to waste precious energy criticizing my physical self. I think. Anyone. A woman will only say 'I believe in myself.' It doesn't matter what other people say; this is who I am; let's get on with it."

The 47-year-old actress spoke at length about her upcoming film, Lee, a biopic on war journalist Lee Miller. In addition to producing the film, Winslet played the title character, and she revealed that she suffered a major back injury while filming. The actress revealed that she tripped while running for a scene on the first day of production, and as a result, she claimed, "I had three big hematomas on my spine, which were huge. I couldn't even stand up." Because of the accident, she couldn't work out, so her body wasn't as toned as it could have been. However, she shot bikini and topless scenes. She said, "You know, you know, I had to be really brave to let my body be the softest version of it and hide from it. And believe me, our own team would say, 'You might want to get up a little bit.' 'Why?' I ask. As a result of visible flesh? No way, that's what it's going to be.

Winslet further addressed the criticism and comments made about the memorable portrait scene she shared with Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. "I think it probably stems from being subjected to the most horrific scrutiny and judgment, and, actually, I would go so far as to say bullying from the mainstream media when I was in my 20s," she said.

The Titanic star got candid and talked about his upcoming film Lee in the same interview with Vogue. The actress will play Lee Miller, a famous World War II photographer and journalist. The actress discussed the obstacles in Lee's production, including ensuring that the film focused on the late photographer's efforts to record post-WWII Europe rather than his lovers or celebrity images. Winslet also revealed some of the condescending comments she received from male executives while fundraising for the project. She said, "I had a director say to me, 'Listen, do my film, and I'll fund your little Lee.' Alternatively, we'd have potential male investors asking, 'Tell me, why me.' Will I like this woman?' Winslet said her previous experience as an actress also prepared her for Miller's role. He said, "Lee was a woman who lived her life on her own terms. I wanted to tell the story of a flawed, middle-aged woman who went to war and documented it. Meanwhile, Kate Winslet's Lee recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend, but no official release date has been announced for the film yet.
