Kate Winslethas a bold approach to filming nude scenes.
While Winslet, 47, spoke withVoguemagazine for an interview conducted before theScreen Actors Guildwent on strike in July, about her new World War II-set dramaLee,including some of its nude scenes.
“I know better than to waste precious energy on criticizing my physical self,” she said. “I think any woman is better off just saying: I believe in myself. It doesn’t matter what other people think; this is who I am — let’s get on with it.”
Lee, which stars the Oscar winner as the model-turned-war-photographer Lee Miller, includes scenes in which Winslet recreates a famous photo of Miller’s in which she is topless.
“You know I had to be really f—ing brave about letting my body be its softest version of itself and not hiding from that,” Winslet said.
“And believe me, people amongst our own team would say, ‘You might just want to sit up a bit,' " she added. “And I’d go, ‘Why? [Because of] the bit of flesh you can see? No, that’s the way it’s going to be!’ "

TheTitanicactress said her own disinterest in adhering to beauty stereotypes relates to how she feels she was treated early in her career.
“I think it probably stems from having been subjected to the most awful scrutiny and judgment, and, actually, I would go so far as to say bullying, from mainstream media when I was in my 20s,” Winslet said.
Lee, making itsworld premiereat theToronto International Film Festival, also starsAlexander Skarsgård,Andrea Riseborough,Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor andAndy Samberg. Winslet plays Miller, who reported forVoguethroughout the entirety of World War II.
