Kate Winslet, renowned Hollywood actress, has recently revealed the challenges she faced after her iconic role in 'Titanic' during an interview on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast.
Despite her immense success, Winslet's post-'Titanic' experience was marred by harsh media exposure that she found distressing.
The actress recounted how she endured a barrage of derogatory comments at that time, many of which were directed at her physical appearance and perceived weight. Winslet shared her frustration, saying, "Apparently I was too fat. Why were they so mean to me? They were so harsh. I wasn't even fat."
Winslet expressed her desire to respond differently if faced with similar situations today, asserting that she would stand up to such criticism. She highlighted the challenges she faced as a young woman dealing with body changes, insecurities, and fear. She described the treatment she received as a form of bullying and even a touch of abuse.
The actress also revealed that during that period, some producers contacted her representatives to discuss her weight and the types of roles she should consider, which were often related to her body size. This experience left a significant impact on her during a time when her career was rapidly ascending.
Kate Winslet is currently engaged in the promotional campaign for her upcoming film, 'Avatar 2: The Sense of Water,' the highly anticipated sequel to the original 'Avatar.' In a recent interview with 'Total Film,' she disclosed the extreme challenges she faced while filming underwater scenes for the movie.
Winslet revealed that she came close to death as she had to hold her breath for an astounding 7 minutes and 14 seconds, setting a new record in the industry and surpassing Tom Cruise's record in 'Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation.'
