Kate Winslet finds single status ‘empowering’

London, March 8 – Actress Kate Winslet has spoken for the first time about her split from Sam Mendes, calling her single status ‘empowering’ and insisting she is not ‘lonely’. 

‘It’s an empowering thing… Experiencing those moments of being alone… is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when you’re just not used to it. And it’s not just being in a relationship. It’s also the fact that I grew up in a family full of people. I’ve never been lonely. And with (kids) Mia and Joe that remains the case,’ contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

‘But to be in this place now where I can say I really like this space. I really need to not have anyone around. It’s a surprise to discover that I like being on my own,’ she added.

The ‘Titanic’ star announced the end of her relationship with the filmmaker, her second husband, last year after nearly seven years of wedlock.

Winslet was previously married to Jim Threapleton, her daughter Mia’s dad, but they divorced in 2001.

Kate Winslet says no to botox

London, Mar 2 – Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has no intention of going under the knife – because she is satisfied with her body.

 

“No, I have never tried any of that stuff. I don’t have parts of my body that I hate or would like to trade for somebody else’s or wish I could surgically adjust into some fantasy version of what they are,” she said.

The star was talking to the April edition of U.S. Glamour magazine, for which she posed in a figure-hugging Victoria Beckham dress, reports the Daily Mail.

The 35-year-old admitted that she hadn’t always been as confident in her looks.

“When I was heavy, people would say to me – and it was such a backhanded compliment – they would say, ‘You’ve got such a beautiful face.’”

“In the way of, like, ‘Oh, isn’t it a shame that from the neck down you’re questionable.’” (ANI)
