Kate Winslet Talks About Her Body… Again
January 29, 2009 in Kate Winslet, Then and Now by Versus
As the title simply puts it, Kate Winslet opened up about her body and weight yet again, after the SAG ceremony this weekend. The Daily Mail reports:
On Sunday night, Miss Winslet told the Mail she had thrown caution to the wind and stopped watching her weight during awards season.
‘I feel fat and unhappy next to other Hollywood actresses,’ says Kate Winslet. ‘As long as all of this is going on (awards season), I have stopped exercising and am eating whatever I want,’ she said. ‘That (exercise) has gone out the window for now because I haven’t got time what with awards ceremonies and film premieres in Britain, Europe and elsewhere.’ Miss Winslet has previously admitted she sometimes feels fat next to other Hollywood actresses.
‘As a young girl, I never felt attractive. I was fat and unhappy at times and that kind of thinking stays with you your entire life,’ she said. ‘There’s always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses.’
But she said despite struggling with her weight, she does not believe in crash diets or endless trips to the gym. ‘At a certain point, when you achieve a lot of your goals and you can be proud of your work, you start to relax more about who you are,’ she said.
‘I don’t think I look too bad for a mother of two.’
“Eating whatever I want” sounds terribly familiar and quite unbelievable, doesn’t it?
Say your thoughts!

She’s sad. Its all she ever talks about. She has serious body issues, get help Kate.
Don’t forget, she’s asked these questions. I’ve heard she’s tired of talking about it.
Yawn! Change the record. I agree with you and I suppose she feels she can now shove it down people’s throats even more because she is now slim and at the point of her greatest success.
… I hate to admit it because I am not keen on her at all but she does look a HELL of a lot better these days! Her figure is looking good…and she knows it.
Agreed with both of the above comments, and yet she won’t admit that she HAS LOST WEIGHT! I am so sick of her!!!! She is soooooo self righteous saying, “Weight doesn’t matter, blah, blah, I haven’t lost weight, I don’t diet, blah blah. . . ” if weight is so unimportant why is that ALL SHE EVER TALKS ABOUT!
Agreed also with the first comment, she has issues.
I love her…she is without a doubt one of the best actresses out there….but if all that she talks about is her weight (she hasn’t really made big-budget films other than Titanic), all she will be remembered for is for her struggles with her weight. Although she looks unbelievably good right now, I always liked the thicker Kate Winslet that supposedly didn’t care about how “big” she was. Besides, wasn’t she nice and plump in Titanic and everyone thought she was hot?
she just came out with two huge movies!! obvs, you can’t compare anything to the titanic since it’s top grossing movie worldwide.
but yeah… i completley disagree with your comment about how she’ll only be remembered for her weight. when i hear people talk about her they are always talking about her acting and her movies. never about her body. no offense, but it’s only sites like these that focus on her body so much….
I don’t think it’s all she ever talks about. To a certain extent it’s what she’s asked about, and it’s what she’s quoted as saying, first in the media, and second here. Part of the issue is that she is a different body type, and a serious actress who has been somewhat thrust into the spotlight and forced to think of herself as a sex symbol partly because she is not afraid to take on roles that involve nudity and significant exploration of sexual issues.
How much would Kate Winslet talk about her body if she weren’t constantly being asked? I don’t know. Compared to some of the other women we see here, (Lohan, Barton, etc.) I think she probably has a good body image and she certainly seems healthier and more stable.
Weight and body issues are, to a certain extent, endemic to women (and to men as well, although they are less expressive and more depressive). Look at comments about posts on actresses’ weight–they are acerbic, angry, jealous, and petty. Compared to those comments, Winslet sounds honest, rational, and, yes, as happy as can be expected for this mortal life.
This is like Jennifer Aniston being accused of constantly talking about Brad. THIS IS ALL SHE GETS ASKED ABOUT AND ALL THEY QUOTE HER ON BECAUSE IT SELLS MAGAZINES AND BUMPS RATINGS.
*Phew* Sorry, I needed to put that out there.
You can breathe now!
But you are totally right! They only print what they want to hear or sell.
Fair enough..She is still a big bore. I have no interest in what she weighs or has on. YUCK-A -ROO!! I only take issue with the lie that she is not dieting !!BS!! She is naturally chubby. She had to fight her body type to look as she does now. I say she gains it all back within a few years. I see a yo=yo “non-dieter” *eyes roll * in the making.
I do feel like she is not being honest. And, while I agree she looks better then ever, why can’t she just admit she worked hard to get so slim! Like so many others, she once said she was proud of her curvier figure, but then tries so hard to lose weight!
I don’t think she looks better than ever, although definitely better than the “before” picture above.
But I do feel good about her honesty, here and elsewhere. “Curvy” and “overweight” are not synonyms, and she can be proud of being curvy to some extent and also feel uncertainty and self-consciousness as residuals from being “fat and unhappy” as a child.
I don’t think she’s ever said that losing weight comes easy to her. In fact, quite the opposite. The closest thing in this quote is that she isn’t dieting or exercising now because she’s upset and busy. And she implies that otherwise she does both.
whooo cares. she is hot
She’s freakin hot! And although I love her I have to say that she’s a bit hypocrite with all this weight thing. ‘I don’t diet, I eat whatever I want…” YEAH RIGHT! A little bit like Jennifer Love Hewitt who lost like 30 pounds right after they called her fat and she said she loved her curves and bla bla bla… bullshit!
so sad kate – you always talk about weight. how often did you talk about it. It looks like she has serious body issues. To be so concerned about beeing skinny or not sounds like an eating disorder – even if she is not skinny. but it’s not necessary to defend your body because other things in life are more important.
Why are ppl all of a sudden talking about her weight anyway?! Who cares? We all know she is bigger-boned than your average teensy celeb. She’s a good actress, she’s had 2 kids, it’s all good, IMO.
yawn ..Where’s Kate Blanchett?? LOVE HER! This Kate is a total bore and no “IT” girl in my book!
gosh you must be kidding me :O so different!
She’s all MEAT, OMG!
I understand everyone is tired of her talking about her weight. But it shouldn’t bore, annoy or upset anyone. This site is pretty much dedicated to talking about celebrity bodies. If you can talk about their bodies and pick ‘em apart, what’s wrong with them doing it themselves??? WTFrench toast?! She talks about it, because she’s in an industry based on vanity. Of course, she feels pressure and so what if she talks about it often, she’s famous and you’re going to hear more complaints from her because she’s in the public eye. There are plenty of women in world esp. in the USA uncomfortable with their shapes, height, weight, etc. who talk about it frequently, it’s normal. Give her a break!
That said, she looks great! And it’s great to hear a celebrity ADMIT they have body issues like the rest of us… it makes them seem more human. “We’re all self-conscious, [she's] just the first to admit it!”
YouЎЇre soooo gifted in writing. God is really using you in tremendous methods. YouЎЇre doing a excellent job! This was an incredible blog!
