Kate Winslet Says She’s Close To Retiring From Nude Scenes

June 3, 2021 / Posted by:

Even though Kate Winslet says stupid shit from time to time, I’m still a big fan of her acting. And her titties. I remember Kate going on Oprah back in the day and Opes congratulating her for having real breasts that flopped apart when she lied on her back. These are iconic boobs, and the first pair many of my fellow millennials saw on the big screen (Titanic). But in a new interview, 45-year-old Kate says her days of baring those beauties may be over very soon. Quelle horreur!

Kate says, via Irish Times:

“I think my days are getting a little bit numbered of doing nudity,” she says. “I’m just not that comfortable doing it anymore. It’s not even really an age thing, actually. There comes a point where people are going to go, ‘Oh, here she goes again.’” She jokes that it’s not fair to camera operators to have to work to get the best angles as her body changes.

Kate added that during her Mare of Easttown sex scene with Guy Pearce (OK, what was the point of his character, honestly?), the director told her he’d cut out “a bulgy bit of belly” in the shot, but she told him “Don’t you dare!” She says she knows people who watched the hit show are saying,“Oh my God, how can she let herself look so unglamorous?” but she wanted Mare to be authentically sloppy and normal-looking.

Kate says she even sent the show’s promo poster twice cuz it was too retouched:

“They were, like, ‘Kate, really, you can’t,’ and I’m, like, ‘Guys, I know how many lines I have by the side of my eye. Please put them all back.’”

She also says she didn’t like an early cut of the show where her “ordinarily luminous skin” (calm down, writer of this article) looked “too good”:

“We tried to light it to make it look not nice,” she says. “Listen, I hope that in playing Mare as a middle-aged woman – I will be 46 in October – I guess that’s why people have connected with this character in the way that they have done, because there are clearly no filters. She’s a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age and her life and where she comes from. I think we’re starved of that a bit.

Kate adds that the show’s costume designer “did recon” in Wawa convenience stores around Philly to find inspiration for Mare’s look: “flannel, inexpensive T-shirts, Ocean City sweatshirts and ‘bad jeans.'” So if you were in a Wawa’s last year and spotted an immaculately dressed Hollywood-type feverishly taking notes while giving your outfit the up-and-down, congratulations. You are entitled to a chunk of Kate Winslet’s salary.

Kate also dropped this bomb in her interview: the hoagies she ate on the show didn’t contain any meat or onions. Kate’s a vegetarian, and she didn’t want to subject the Mare of Easttown cast and crew to her onion breath. Hmmm, guess lady ain’t method like some other Oscar winners. Because Detective Mare Sheehan would have no problem spitting flecks of onion and meat right into peoples’ eyes and then washing that shit down with a Rolling Rock.
