While you most likely know her best from Titanic, there is so much more to be said about Kate Winslet. She has starred in films like, Little Children, The Reader, The Holiday, Sense & Sensibility, and many others.
But there is so much more about Kate, beyond acting, that fans probably don't know about her!
Let's get into some of her most interesting facts!
"I was 17. I did Heavenly Creatures, Sense and Sensibility, Hamlet, and Jude before I did Titanic," she revealed to Good Housekeeping.
She was obviously destined for greatness.
"That did put me on the map, because I got an Academy Award nomination for it. I mean, how the hell did that happen? I could not believe it. I was just 19 years old," she said.
Back in 2015, on The Graham Norton Show, Kate Winslet revealed after she finally won an Oscar in 2009, she keeps the statue in her bathroom so that guests can practice their hypothetical acceptance speeches.
"And you can always tell when someone has, because they’re in there a little bit longer after they flushed,” she added. “They’ll come out looking slightly pink-cheeked. It’s hysterical.”
"I've never left them to go do a film. No, we all go together. I could never leave them. My kids are my whole world," she told Good Housekeeping.
"I'd love to have more. Not yet, though. I'm still very content with these two. They're such an adventure — and a riot every day," she told Good Housekeeping.
"The truth is, at the end of the day, it's just acting. But that doesn't change the fact that it is a profoundly strange part of this job. I've actually done nude scenes before. And every time, I say, 'That's it. I'm not going to do that ever again.' Then I wind up doing one! But it's important to have those scenes if it helps make a character real," she told Good Housekeeping.
"This drives me crazy! I'm only 5-foot-6, but people think I'm sort of a great big Viking woman. I'm not — I'm completely normal and average," she said in an interview with Good Housekeeping.
"When I'm on my own, I really don't care. But paparazzi with my kids? That bothers me. I mean, my son isn't aware of them yet, but my daughter's aware. And she just hides behind my back. She goes 'Uh-oh! Paparazzi to the right. Quick!' So we sort of try to turn it into an "us versus them" game. But I don't know how healthy that is either," she said.
"I would never encourage it or discourage it. I'd certainly never push them to do it. I just want them to be who they are and make their own decisions and feel supported in whatever they choose," she explained.
"I don't think I will because as I get older, I'm becoming more relaxed about body image.... My body does not dominate my thoughts. My day is not spent thinking about ab crunches!," she said to Good Housekeeping.
"I'm a little bit obsessive about my feet. I pick at my feet. [Laughs] I'm sure that's what everyone wants to know!," she said.
When asked if she struggled with her weight when she was younger, and if she was overweight she said: "Yes, I was." She also revealed that she doesn't go to great lengths to stay in shape nowadays.
"I watch myself as much as any average woman does, you know? I'll eat one cookie, not a whole box of cookies. But I'll still eat the one cookie...sometimes two, or even three. But not the whole box."
She explained to Good Housekeeping that ever since being dramatically atlered after a shoot, she has been adament about looking as natural as possible.
"It wasn't that they simply retouched my image — they completely stretched it so I looked like I was 6 feet tall and a size 2. I'm a size 6 or 8 these days," she said.
