You can cut a lot of things, but just don’t cut out her belly. Kate Winslet says that she’s proud of the fact that viewers can see parts of her body that some people would otherwise cover up, as she apparently told a director not “to dare” editing a sex scene because of “a bulgy bit of belly.”
The actress, who stars in the new drama Mare of Easttown, told The New York Times that she refused the edit and sent back promotional posters for the show after they were airbrushed. She said that when director Craig Zobel told her he would cut “a bulgy bit of belly” she decided to step in.
Kate Winslet Says She’s Proud Of Sex Scene That Shows Her Belly
Recalling the moment, Kate said she told production at the time, “Guys, I know how many lines I have by the side of my eye, please put them all back.”
Kate said that she wanted her character to look like “a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age and her life and where she comes from.”
She added: “I think we’re starved of that a bit.”
“I guess that’s why people have connected with this character in the way that they have done because there are clearly no filters,” Kate continued.
Earlier this year, Kate Winslet said in a separate interview that she hated how the press would comment on her weight during the earlier years of her career. The British-born actress also said that she recently came across some articles that were written about her when she was just 19.
“It was almost laughable how shocking, how critical, how straight-up cruel tabloid journalists were to me,” Kate said. “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.”
