Kate Winslet isn’t bored about talking about her body, even though it is one of the most frequently spoken on topics in interviews with the actress. She is happy to continue to speak on her famous curves if it means she can open people’s minds and make them realize that being pressurized to be stick thin isn’t something that is normal. She reveals that she knows no adults who can fit into an XS:
“Better say that I’m bored of what it means that we are still here talking about it: it means that nothing has changed. Otherwise, no, I believe it is important to go on insisting that normality is not what we are exposed to. Honestly, among my acquaintances there is no woman wearing XS. No, sorry, there is one: my daughter. The point is that Mia is 11 years old.”
Kate says that it takes a while to get used to not being branded the “fat girl” while she cheekily comments that she loves her buttocks:
“It’s true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but – you know – I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks. Wow, isn’t this a wonderful line?”
When she is faced with criticism regarding her body, Kate says she now knows to ignore it because when she was younger she let it drag her down which made her feel terrible. Now she has learned to forget about any insults sent her way which has taken her time:
‘It’s one of those things I learned quickly to ignore. Once it was different, it hurt me. When I was twenty I pretended it didn’t bother me, but I felt very bad, I did. In front of journalists and the public I acted superior, but I was dying inside. Now everything is different. It takes time, but you can learn it.’
