Kate Winslet questions being called “brave” for nude scenes in her latest film Lee, arguing that the real courage was in making the movie. She reflects on aging and body positivity in Hollywood.
BollywoodFever: Kate Winslet is pushing back against being labeled “brave” for appearing without makeup and nude in her latest role as Elizabeth ‘Lee’ Miller in Lee, a World War II biopic.
The 48-year-old actress expressed confusion about the way women’s bodies are still a focal point in Hollywood, while men rarely face the same scrutiny.

Speaking to Extra, Winslet said,
“We don’t say about the men, ‘Oh, isn’t he brave, he didn’t shave his beard? Isn’t he brave, he took his shirt off?’ It’s actually baffling to me and it’s very interesting because it’s a whole other conversation about how we are still so obsessed with women’s bodies on-screen. It’s just crazy.”

For Winslet, the real bravery didn’t come from the on-screen nudity, but from her commitment to making the film about Lee Miller, which she began developing in 2015.
The brave part was saying in 2015, ‘I’m going to make a film about Lee Miller,’ and nine years later, I did it. That’s the brave part. Forget the no makeup and taking clothes off bit — it’s just part of my job,” she explained.
The Titanic star has also recently opened up about her confidence and body image as she ages, insisting that she feels “flipping amazing” about her appearance.
In a candid discussion on the How To Fail podcast, Winslet addressed societal expectations of women in their 40s, saying,
“We’re so conditioned… to think, ‘Oh well, I’m creeping closer to the end’… I think women as they get older get juicier and sexier and more embedded in their truth of who they are and more powerful.”
She emphasized that embracing aging is empowering, adding, “I say to my friends all the time, ‘You look amazing, you look great.’”
