Kate Winslet No Longer Cares About Stripping Off For Roles

Kate Winslet no longer cares about stripping for roles.

The mother-of-three ‘Titanic’ actress, 48, who is married to husband Ned Rocknroll, 46, since 2012, said she has developed a more carefree attitude to her body since playing pioneering war photographer Lee Miller in her 2023 film ‘Lee’.

She told the Daily Telegraph: “In many ways I felt more similar to her than almost any character I’ve played before.

“There’s so much of how she lived her life that I profoundly connected with, but was also inspired by.

“Everything was on her own terms. Even how she celebrated her physical self.”

Kate, who recently spoke about how she ignored a crew member’s suggestion that she might want to sit up straight in order to disguise her rolls of stomach flesh, added: “Stupid things you might consider as a woman – well, playing Lee made me think, I don't give a f*** about any of that.

“I mean I literally don’t give a s***. I don’t care. I would take all my clothes off in front of you right now. I just don’t believe in hiding the truth, actually.”

Kate – who lives with her husband Ned and their 10-year-old son Bear in Sussex, and who also has actor daughter, Mia, 23, is filming, and 20-year-old son Joe – developed ‘Lee’ after developing a deep admiration of the revered snapper.

Along with her photos, Lee is renowned for being the muse of surrealist artist Man Ray, and is remembered for her photography of the end of the Second World War, with her dispatches from the front line appearing in Vogue at the time.

She was one of just four female photographers accredited as official US correspondents during the war, was at the siege of Saint-Malo, the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau, and was famously photographed in Hitler’s bathtub at his apartment in Munich.
