Winslet’s career has been marked by her willingness to appear unfiltered and real. She famously starred in one of cinema’s most iconic nude scenes in 1997’s Titanic, where she played Rose, who asked Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Jack, to “paint her like one of his French girls.” Her dedication to authenticity has continued throughout her career.

Reflecting on the industry’s unrealistic standards, Winslet expressed her joy that women are becoming more accepting of their “imperfections”. “I do feel a huge sense of relief that women are so much more accepting of themselves and refusing to be judged,” she said. Winslet also shared how her mother’s critical self-view influenced her perspective, “We waste so much time being down on ourselves, and I’m just not doing it ever again.”

As she approaches her 50th birthday, Winslet embraces her age with confidence and grace. “I’m more comfortable in myself as each year passes. It enables me to allow the opinions of others to evaporate,” she stated.
