Lee star Kate Winslet says women should celebrate being a real shape
Title: Kate Winslet discusses society's tendency to categorize women in a strange way In a recent interview, actress Kate Winslet shared her thoughts on the way society tends to categorize and label women. She described it as "bizarre" and expressed her distaste for the way women are often pigeonholed or judged based on specific labels. Winslet emphasized the importance of allowing women to be complex and multi-dimensional individuals, rather than reducing them to simplistic stereotypes. Her comments shed light on the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the need to challenge societal norms that limit women's freedom and self-expression.
Actress Kate Winslet expressed to the BBC her belief that women should embrace and celebrate their natural body shapes. She shared that she was once instructed on a film set to improve her posture in order to conceal her stomach bulges.
In a recent interview with Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, Kate Winslet talked about her new movie Lee. She discussed how she had to embody her character, Elizabeth 'Lee' Miller, who goes from being a fashion model to a well-respected World War Two photographer.
Winslet mentioned that the woman was not working out by lifting weights or doing Pilates. Instead, she was enjoying cheese, bread, and wine without making a fuss about it. Therefore, it was natural for her body to be soft.
She expressed that women should embrace their natural form, appreciate their curves, and feel comfortable in their bodies.
The actress believes that it is important to have a discussion about how women are labeled.
"We are familiar with not always appreciating things when we see them. Our natural reaction is to notice and criticize instead," she explained. "It's fascinating how much people enjoy categorizing women."
Winslet stated that the subject is an important discussion that should take place.
"She mentioned that life is brief. She stated, 'I don't want to waste time stressing over trivial matters.' Therefore, she no longer worries about things."
Winslet, who is 48 years old, has been a strong advocate for women and has publicly condemned body shaming before.
Winslet portrays the character of Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, a photojournalist covering the war during World War Two.
Winslet recently talked to Harper's Bazaar UK about being instructed to improve her posture to conceal her "belly rolls" while working on the set of the film Lee.
Winslet shared a funny moment from the set where she was sitting on a bench in a bikini. A crew member jokingly suggested she sit up straighter to hide her belly rolls, but Winslet was defiant and made it clear that she intended to show her natural body without any shame.
Winslet was questioned about her comfort level with appearing imperfect on camera, and she responded by saying she actually takes pride in it. She explained that her face shows her life and experiences, and she sees no reason to hide that.
"As I grow older, I find that I become more at ease with myself. This allows me to not let the thoughts and judgments of others bother me," she explained.
