Kate Winslet slams Titanic body for expressing her fat: offensive

After 25 years, Kate Winslet finally spoke out against the “Titanic” body models who used the movie’s ending to mock her weight. Viewers have long debated whether there is enough room on the floating door for Winslet’s Rose and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack to survive the frigid waters of the Atlantic. Only Rose used the makeshift raft, with Jack dying of hypothermia. According to Winslet, the toxic fans blamed Rose’s weight for not allowing Jack a chance at survival at the wooden door.

Winslet said during an interview on The Podcast “Happy Sad Confused”. “Why were they so mean to me? They were so mean. I wasn’t even fat.”

Winslet continued, “I would have told reporters, I would have answered, I would have said, ‘Don’t you dare treat me that way. ‘” I’m a young woman, my body is changing, I get it, I’m so insecure, I’m terrified, don’t make this any harder than it already is. This is bullying, you know, and actually bordering on offensive, I would say.”

This isn’t the first time Winslet has had to deal with body shaming during her decades-long career. The Oscar winner revealed in an interview with Sunday times Earlier this year she was asked to settle for “fat girl” roles when she was a young actress in acting school. Later, when Winslet started booking movie roles, her agent would often ask her the same question: “What’s her weight?”

“It can be very negative,” Winslet said of the pressures that actresses face. “People are under more scrutiny than any skinny person can handle. But in the film industry it really changes. When I was younger, my agent would get calls saying, ‘What is her weight?’ I’m kidding you don’t. So it’s gratifying that This is starting to change.”

As for the famously debated Titanic ending, director James Cameron recently revealed that he conducted a scientific study to prove that both Jack and Rose could not survive by floating on the makeshift raft together. The study will air in February linked to a new 4K version of “Titanic” in theaters.

“We did a scientific study to put this whole thing to rest and drive the stake to the heart of it once and for all,” said Cameron. Toronto Sun. “We’ve since done a thorough forensic analysis with the hypothermia expert who reproduced the raft from the movie and are going to do a little special work on it which comes out in February.”

Cameron continued, “We took two stunt people of the same body mass as Kate and Leo and put sensors all over and inside them and put them in ice water and tested them to see if they could survive through a variety of conditions. The answer was, there’s no way both of them could survive.” Only one can survive.”
