Curvy Kate Winslet Keeps Her Feet on the Ground

The full-figured woman once known as a chubby young girl teased with the nickname Blubber has risen to become one of the world’s best loved celebrities. Curvaceous Kate Winslet’s appeal is that she remains down to earth, despite the countless nominations and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.

Kate Winslet has proved herself to be one of the most beautiful and talented actresses to be around these days. The actress is popular for portraying courageous and straightforward pretty girl roles. The actress has built quite an impressive resume with movies ranging from Shakespearean tragedy to mystic movies to erotica. Acting was not difficult for her as she born in the family of stage actors. Her parents were stage actors, her maternal grandparents ran a theater and her uncle was a fixture in London's West End Theater.

She says, “To me, you’re a movie star only during the time when you’re at the Academy Awards or at an important glamorous event. It’s very much a hat that you wear, and as soon as the event’s over, the hat comes off. I’m back to being me and being Mummy, and that’s my priority.”

Even with the impression of glamor and chic, the zaftig celebrity admits she doesn’t even go to the gym. Despite being plus size, Kate Winslet does not let the public view of Hollywood and stardom affect her way of thinking and dismisses the idea of thin as beautiful. In one of her magazine interviews, she says, “I still don’t believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don’t stuff down chocolate biscuits.”
