The obsession with being naked in "Titanic" haunted Kate Winslet for 26 years

Actress Kate Winslet says that when she first started her career, she was miserable because her management company constantly complained about her weight. The reason was because directors who wanted to give her roles felt that her figure was not slim enough.

Early in her career, Kate had to overcome her complexes about her weight and figure. She became a famous movie star after her role in Titanic (1997), when she was only 22 years old.

After the movie Titanic , although she became a movie star, Kate also had to go through a crisis, because a part of the audience criticized her body shape. "I became the subject of media and public commentary at that time. People started to scrutinize my appearance and make rude comments," Kate recalled.

At the time of the release of Titanic , some audiences and some news outlets commented that because Kate was fat, the script forced Jack to die. Jack died because Rose was fat, so there wasn't enough room for both of them on the board, or the board wouldn't be able to float on the water if both of them were on it.

It was the trauma of being criticized for her body when appearing in the movie Titanic that made Kate Winslet always hesitate to pose nude. However, 26 years after filming Titanic , Kate decided to do a nude scene in her new movie - Lee - a biographical film released this year. The film tells the story of the life and career of American female photographer Lee Miller (1907-1977).

At 47, and having given birth three times, Kate admits that she lacks confidence in her body. However, she is determined to do a realistic nude scene in the new film, to overcome her fear, hesitation and inferiority complex.

Kate Winslet shared that she had to endure pressure on her appearance since her teenage years: "When I studied acting as a teenager, my acting teacher always commented that I was overweight. Later, when I pursued acting, my management company always asked me to lose weight. There were directors who were not satisfied with my body shape and did not want to give me roles."

Kate Winslet's weight and body image have always been an obsession. However, over time, she has gradually learned to ignore negative comments, overcome fears and insecurities, and affirm her acting talent.

At the age of 47, Kate Winslet considered the nude scene in her new film as a psychological test for herself after many years in the profession. Now, Kate affirms that she has successfully performed the test, because she no longer criticizes and criticizes her own appearance like before.

Instead, she learned to love, accept, and be comfortable with her appearance throughout the difficult scene.
