Kate Winslet opened up about the media’s unkind behaviour towards her
On Marc Maron’s podcast “WTF”, Kate Winslet revealed the way she was treated by the press after the release of ‘Titanic’ and how it was a lot for her to handle at the age of 21. She said, “I went into self-protective mode right away [after Titanic came out]. It was like night and day from one day to the next. I was subject to a lot of personal physical scrutiny, I was criticized a lot and the British press were quite unkind to me”.
She further added, “I felt bullied if I’m honest. I remember thinking, ‘this is horrible and I hope it passes’, it did definitely pass but it made me realize that, if that’s what being famous was, I was not ready to be famous, definitely not”.
Kate also talked about doing Indie films after ‘Titanic’
Right after the success of ‘Titanic’, Kate didn’t hop on to pursue any big projects in Hollywood, instead, she found love in indie production. Kate said, “I was still learning how to act, I felt I wasn’t ready to do lots of big Hollywood jobs. I didn’t want to make mistakes and blow it, I wanted to be in it for the long game. I strategically tried to find small things so I could understand the craft a bit better and maintain some degree of privacy and dignity”.
