Kate Winslet Covers In Style

When it comes to movie stars, we all like to see a little humility don’t we? It’s NICE when stars give modest smiles or casual shrugs when discussing their work or their A list status. In fact, when we know for certain that the latest celebrity dish has been served with a side of humble pie for dessert, it is comforting to us to know that these people don’t have big heads or don’t feel like they are ‘above’ anybody. Kate Winslet is trying to do this, but there is the other end of the spectrum. When the humble pie so aptly served for dessert came in a serving size a little too big. Yes, when stars appear TOO modest, it can get a little old as well, and when talking to In Style recently, she may have served it up a little too thick.

For example, when she was talking about her Golden Globe winning role in the hit ‘Revolutionary Road’ she didn’t want to congratulate herself or her talent, rather, she was thrilled by the ‘foreheads’ and how they were portrayed in the film. She’s referring to her non botoxed brow of course, as well as her co-star’s Leonardo Di Caprio amazing forehead that ‘is supposed to move’. Ok. See what I mean? A bit much.

She also is quite proud of the fact that she lives a normal life off screen. And maybe the term normal is relative, because how can a Golden Globe winner really live a normal life? But yes, of her life with hubby Sam Mendes and their five year old son, and Kate’s daughter Mia from a previous marriage, she says it’s all American apple pie. All normal. And you won’t get away with much if you try to call THIS stay at home mom a movie star as a shameless In Style interviewer dared to…

Please don’t call me that. I don’t feel like a movie star in my life at all, and I don’t particularly think I behave like one. I don’t have my own plane. I don’t have a chef or a trainer. To me, you’re a movie star only during the time when you’re at the Academy Awards or at an important glamorous event. It’s very much a hat that you wear, and as soon as the event’s over, the hat comes off. I’m back to being me and being Mummy, and that’s my priority.

Which is all well and good. I suppose. But I mean, who really buys into that? To us, the Oscars is the night where we get to see ALL of the movie stars at once. Not where they are born, or made….well okay, sometimes they are, but you get the drift. Kate Winslet is not a movie star one night of the year. Yes, the eye rolling alert is high with this one. But she is what she is regardless of how modest she is trying SO hard to be. For more on how modest this girl is, check out February’s In Style Magazine.
