Kate Winslet: Body Shamed for 'Fat Girl Parts'

Actress Kate Winslet has shared her past experiences of body shaming within the acting industry. During a recent interview, she recounted a hurtful comment from a drama teacher who advised her to 'settle for the fat girl parts' if she wished to pursue acting. Winslet expressed that such comments are appalling when directed at children.

This revelation adds to previous instances where Winslet has spoken out about body image. Last year, she detailed how a crew member suggested she alter her posture during a scene to conceal her midriff. She has consistently advocated for genuine body representation and has publicly criticized the digital alteration of her image in the past.

Furthermore, Winslet discussed the unique challenges faced by women in film, noting that as a first-time director, she received comments about confidence that she believes would not have been directed at a male counterpart. She also reflected on the intense press intrusion she endured following her breakout role in 'Titanic,' describing it as a terrifying period.
