Kate Winslet: My Daughter Hated My Oscar Gown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actress Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress last Sunday and while some may have thought her choice of dress was lovely, there was one person who was "mortified" about her gray dress... her 8-year-old daughter, Mia!

Winslet called her children - Mia, and son Joe Alfie, 5 - backstage, after her win. Mia couldn't believe her mother's gray Yves St. Laurent evening gown.

Kate, told Oprah on Monday's show, "I said, 'Hi, Mia, did you jump up and down?' "[Mia] says: 'Yes, I did, Mum, I did. I need to talk to you about the dress, it was gray.' She was absolutely mortified I wore a gray dress."

The 33-year-old told Oprah she didn't want a lot of dresses being sent to her, especially in these tough economic times.

"I think in this time in the economy, it's just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five. So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, 'We'd like to make something for you,' and that was what we did."

Kate also talked about not doing any more nude scenes because of her children.

"I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids they're 8 and 5 now, maybe they're going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I've done. I just sort of feel like I can't get away with it that much longer."

Another reason I love her - she's so real and seems like such a great mom! (And ya, she's a wonderful actress too!)

Kate Winslet, after having two kids, admits that she has to work harder at keeping fit. She says that being nude on film gives her great incentive to get in shape, especially playing an older woman seducing a teen in her latest flick, The Reader. So, how does she get that sexy body?

The 33-year-old actress could have had a body double in the movie, but opted not to - she wanted the nude scenes to be real.

She said, "The body on screen is all me. I'm doing alright. I've had two kids [Mia, 8, and Joe, 5]. I don't look in the mirror and go: 'I look fantastic!' I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in saying: 'This is who I am.'"

And the secret to her sexy shape? No secret really - just common sense and hard work.

Kate avoids carbs and alcohol.

She continues, "I don't eat pasta or bread, I don't drink and I limit processed foods.

"I don't go to the gym. I go through phases where I think, 'I really should go.' But I work out on the living room carpet. It's great - no one's looking at you, no one's telling you what to do.

"I have a mat and weights and I do a stomach and burn thing."

She adds, she's not perfect - she's got her flaws like everyone else.

"I have a crumble baby belly, my boobs are the worse for wear after two kids. I'm not a supermodel. I just do whatever I can to stay healthy."

I like her - she seems so normal, well as normal as any celebrity can be!

Kate Winslet Keeps Nude Scenes Real

Kate Winslet likes to keep things "real," especially when it comes to movie roles and particularly doing nude scenes. Said Kate, who is playing an older woman engaged in an affair with a younger man, in The Reader, "It was important to me to look real. I really don't believe in this notion that actors and actresses should look untouchably perfect."

And how is it filming love scenes with actor David Kross, who is 15 years younger than she is? "It was the same as shooting any other scene of that nature.

"A scene with that level of intimacy involving nudity, you know, it's always nerve-wracking, and you really have to rehearse those scenes so that everybody knows exactly what's going on."

She, however, did find it difficult to go through the "aging" process for the movie - she was playing a woman 35 years older than she is now. Winslet admits it "was exhausting."

She adds, "It took seven hours to put on every day and the body suit weighs about 15 pounds." Can you imagine seven hours of prep time? Yikes!

I wonder if, when her kids are grown, if they'll watch some of their mother's movies that they're obviously too young to see now? I think part of that would be cool, but also sort of weird, especially if your mom is doing nude scenes. But maybe if you're a kid who grows up with actor parents, it's no big deal?

Kate Winslet looks amazing in the December issue of Vanity Fair! The 33-year-old actress and mother of two says that sometimes she thinks she looks "a little bit wrong." Uh, well, I think she looks "a lot right!" She's often criticized by the media (especially in England) for her weight fluctuations, but Winslet refuses to lose weight to fit some sort of Hollywood ideal. I say good for her!

Kate said of the way she looks, "I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort.... But then I think, they can't be happy in those heels."

Kate is mom to daughter Mia Honey, 8 (dad is Kate's ex-husband Jim Threapleton) and son Joe Alfie, who will turn five next month (dad is Kate's husband Sam Mendes).
