Titanic star Kate Winslet put a crew member who asked her to hide her stomach folds in his place

Titanic star Kate Winslet has decided to stop hiding her stomach folds after receiving comments about her body during the filming of Lee, a movie based on Anthony Penrose's book The Life of Lee Miller. On the set, one of the team members asked the actress to sit up straighter to hide her body irregularities, which angered the woman.

Winslet spoke about her decision during a topless photo shoot for the global glossy Haper's BAZAAR.

"There's a moment where Lee is sitting on a bench in a bikini... And one of the crew members came up between takes and said: 'You might want to sit up straighter. So you wouldn't see my stomach folds? No way! It was intentional, you know?" the actress said.

She explained that she doesn't mind being imperfect on screen: "On the contrary. I'm proud of them because it's my life on my face, and it matters. I wouldn't dream of hiding it."

Kate Winslet has always tried to fight the images of "perfect women" with a pronounced waist and skin, without wrinkles and an extra pound of fat. In 2003, she had a fight with a men's magazine that retouched her body and made it look thinner.

Similar quarrels were regular with those who tried to turn an ordinary woman into a diva.

"I am very relieved that women are much more accepting of themselves and refuse to be judged. Because I don't know a single woman of my age who grew up seeing her mother look in the mirror and say: "I look good!" My mom never did that. It was always: "Oh my God, I don't think I can wear this, do I look like a hippie, does my butt look big?" We spend so much time on self-deprecation, and I will never do that again," the star reflected.

In particular, Winslet recalled how she faced criticism and harassment in the media at the beginning of her career. She was criticized for her body and her desire to show it off.
