Women should be able to celebrate their bodies, not be ashamed of them

Kate Winslet

In a recent interview with the BBC, actress Kate Winslet has said that women should be able to celebrate their bodies and we have to agree with her.

Speaking about her experiences in film, the star of Titanic and numerous other films said that women should celebrate “being a real [body] shape” after she was told to sit up straighter on set to avoid showing her belly rolls.

She said women should celebrate “being a real shape, being soft and maybe having a few extra rolls”.

“We’re so used to perhaps not necessarily seeing that and enjoying it. The instinct weirdly is to see it and criticise it,” she said. “It’s interesting how much people do like labels for women.”

“Life is too short,” she added. “I don’t want to look back and go ‘why did I worry about that thing’ and so guess what – I don’t worry anymore.”

Winslet was asked if she minded looking “less-than-perfect” on screen, to which she replied: “The opposite. I take pride in it because it is my life on my face, and that matters. It wouldn’t occur to me to cover that up.”

“I’m more comfortable in myself as each year passes. It enables me to allow the opinions of others to evaporate,” she added.
