9 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Winslet shared a never-before-told story from her 2004 SNL hosting gig.
- Rapper Eminem allegedly asked Winslet to shave his lower body.
- Winslet also discussed the stress of her SNL hosting duties.
During a recent taping of The Graham Norton Show, Kate Winslet divulged a remarkable story from her 2004 hosting stint on Saturday Night Live. She recounted an alleged request from Eminem, who was also a musical guest that week, asking her to shave his bottom. Winslet stated she refused the bizarre personal grooming request, adding this tale had never been publicly shared before.
The Titanic star also detailed the stressful experience of hosting SNL, especially promoting her film Finding Neverland simultaneously. She described receiving the opening monologue and a complex tap dance routine with very little notice, contributing to her anxiety.
Winslet's 2004 SNL appearance remains her only time hosting the iconic sketch show. She previously described the production as a 'hotbed of anxiety,' partly due to the lingering controversy surrounding Ashlee Simpson's lip-syncing incident the week prior.
