Kate Winslet: Nude & Formerly Fat

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Kate Winslet might be the best actress alive.

She's already been nominated for five Academy Awards and buzz over her role in Revolutionary Road make a sixth nomination likely.

But the star, who poses nude in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, earns our respect as much for her off-screen wisdom as for her on-screen talent.

In 2003, she famously objected when GQ airbrushed away her curves and elongated her legs for a cover shoot, saying: "I don't look like that and I don't desire to look like that... It wasn't that they simply retouched my image - they completely stretched it so I looked like I was six feet tall and a size two."

In the current feature article, Winslet talks about life as an overweight child:

"I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I'm being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else. And I still sort of have that."

Everyone should look as "wrong" and as "different" as Winslet.
