Kate Winslet: She Was Bullied Early In Her Career – Would Play ‘Fat Girl’ Roles

by

This year, the actress is working again with James Cameron, 25 years later, in the film “Avatar: The Way of Water”

Kate Winslet revealed in a new interview with the Sunday Times that she faced harsh criticism early in her career. She shared that when she was a student, she was told that she would play “fat girl” roles. The actress, who rose to fame with her role as Rose in 1997’s Titanic, says “things are changing now. When I was younger, my agent would get calls saying, “How’s her weight?” I’m not kidding. So it’s exciting that this is starting to change.”

The award-winning UK actress recently teamed up with her daughter Mia Honey Tripleton, who is the same age she was when she was filming Titanic.

The collaboration “excellent”. Winslet explained that instead of giving advice to her daughter, she was the one guiding her during filming. “Sometimes I could show off a technical trick I had learned along the way. Little things that no one teaches you. He appreciated it, but when it came time to act he was like, “I got it, I’m good.”
