Kate Winslet I feel ashamed when I look back and I almost lost myself

Kate Winslet was only XNUMX years old when she became an international star overnight thanks to the hit movie. “Titanic”. But it soon became clear that fame is a double-edged sword.

We're in the year 1997, and different sizes and sizes are rejected, because they don't meet the beauty standards of a Hollywood actress, who has to be too skinny; So the actress suffered because of her curves, which were pointed out by the media, especially the English ones, which were particularly harsh. With time, the criticism directed at her weight multiplied!

Disrespect 

In an interview with Madame Figaro published Thursday, Kate reverted to violent attacks on her body and delivered a liberating discourse on self-acceptance. From the start, she chose to accept her own body. When asked about her refusal to submit to dictates, the 47-year-old explained, “I grew up a certain way, without prejudice, without judgment. I learned to treat people equally and respectfully, to be yourself, to be free and feel good about yourself.”

She says of this educational culture that she “saved” when “Titanic” was released: “At the end of the XNUMXs, the press had no respect for actresses. Women's physiques were unabashedly discussed, with special commentary being made on the actresses' bodies and weights. I remember that time well, and looking back, I feel ashamed.”

So I refused to follow a diet that corresponds to the model of thinness. She proudly added, “I haven't changed one iota of that belief. I'm still thinking the same thing. I stayed true to exactly who I am, and that's what kept me in good health. I am very happy to be able to say today: it all didn't matter.” And the actress invites us to get rid of the obsession with thinness: “When my friends told me, 'It's awful! I gained weight during CovidI replied, “What does that mean? what's the problem? “Be happy, life is too short to waste on such considerations. There are important and less important things.”

This is what I like 

Guilt-free speech makes you feel comfortable. Returning to the criticism she received during Titanic, Kate said I could have stuck to the image they were expecting of me. But I would lose myself, I would go crazy when I became someone else. This survival instinct has led me to the conclusion that madness is not in me: could madmen be them, after all?”
