'When I was younger my agent would get calls saying, 'How's her weight?' I kid you not' (via toofab)

Back when Winslet starred in breakout films like"Hamlet" and"Titanic" in the late 90s, she faced a slew of body-shaming hate from celebrity tabloids to other public figures like Joan Rivers who once claimed,"If Kate Winslet had dropped a few pounds, the Titanic would never have sunk."in February 2021, Winslet opened up about reading old magazine articles that commented on her body from her earlier days in the industry.

"In my 20s, people would talk about my weight a lot," she reflected at the time."And I would be called to comment on my physical self. Well, then I got this label of being ballsy and outspoken. No, I was just defending myself." "It was almost laughable how shocking, how critical, how straight-up cruel tabloid journalists were to me," Kate continued."I was still figuring out who the hell I bloody well was! They would comment on my size, they'd estimate what I weighed, they'd print the supposed diet I was on. It was critical and horrible and so upsetting to read."
