Kate Winslet has revealed she ‘refused to cover up her belly rolls’ after a crew member told her to during filming for her latest film Lee.
The Oscar-winning actress, 48, opened up about the incident as she embraced her natural beauty while posing topless in the sea for her recent shoot with Harper’s Bazaar.
The star plays model-turned-WWII-photographer Lee Miller in the biopic, adapted from 1985 biography The Lives of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose.
However during filming Kate revealed a member of the crew suggested she sit up straighter to hide her rolls.
WHAT KATE SAID?
Speaking to the magazine Kate explained: ‘There’s a bit where Lee’s sitting on a bench in a bikini… And one of the crew came up between takes and said: “You might want to sit up straighter.”
‘So you can’t see my belly rolls? Not on your life! It was deliberate, you know?’
She also admitted she doesn’t mind looking less-than-perfect on screen as she explained: ‘The opposite. I take pride in it because it is my life on my face, and that matters. It wouldn’t occur to me to cover that up.’
Kate starred in arguably one of cinema’s most iconic nude scenes of all time in 1997’s Titanic while playing Rose, where she reclined on a sofa and asked love interest Jack – played by Leonardo DiCaprio – to ‘paint her like one of his French girls’.
