Actress Kate Winslet has spoken for the first time about a very painful chapter in her life. The "Titanic" actress, who is currently causing a sensation with the series "The Regime" filmed in Schönbrunn, has revealed that she used to have a difficult relationship with her body, which meant she could no longer eat normally.

She has remained silent on this painful subject to this day. In an interview with the New York Times Magazine, the 48-year-old revealed: "I never told anyone about it. Because imagine the people in the world around you saying: 'Hey, you look great! You've lost weight!' So even the compliment of looking good is linked to weight."

Today, the actress no longer allows such comments. "If they do, I tell them off straight away," she explains.

"Sounds terrible"
In the interview, Kate was also asked about the increasing use of the weight-loss drug Ozempic. "I don't actually know what Ozempic is. I just know it's some pill that people take or something," she confessed.

When she was told that the drug curbs appetite and "dampens" interest in food, the Oscar winner was "horrified" and said: "Oh, my God. That sounds terrible. Let's eat some more!"

Superstar
Winslet is considered an absolute superstar. She comes from a family with an acting tradition. Her grandparents ran a theater in Reading. Her parents, Sally Ann Bridges and Roger John Winslet, were also actors. 

Her acting career began in 1991 with the film "Heavenly Creatures". She had her breakthrough in 1997 with the role of Rose DeWitt Bukater in James Cameron's film "Titanic". 

Winslet was married to director Jim Threapleton from 1998 to 2001. The couple have a daughter together. She was married to director Sam Mendes from 2003 to 2011. The couple have a son together.

She has been married to businessman Ned Rocknroll since 2012. The couple have a son together.
