Kate Winslet says she is “not a porn star”.
The British actress – who is married to ‘Revolutionary Road’ director Sam Mendes – has defended her choice to appear nude in some of her movies, insisting Sam doesn’t mind her stripping off if it “enhances” the film.
She said: “Of course Sam doesn’t get jealous. I’m not a porn star. I’m not walking out there and actually having sex with other people for my job. He doesn’t get jealous at all, not in the slightest. It’s really not a big deal.
“I feel that any level of nudity in films that I have been a part of has been absolutely relevant and actually enhanced the story.”
Kate recently revealed she struggled with her nude scenes in new post-war drama ‘The Reader’.
She said: “It really took me to the brink in many ways. To bring my character Hanna Schmitz to life was an absolutely enormous challenge and a huge responsibility as well, because it’s a much-loved piece of German literature. Many people have differing opinions of Hanna Schmitz – they love her, they loathe her.”
