Kate Winslet refused to let the director of Mare of Easttown cut “a bulgy bit of belly” from her sex scene.
The 45-year-old actress – who stars as detective sergeant Mare Sheehan in the hit HBO crime drama – has revealed she wouldn’t allow her appearance to be edited on the show and on any promotional content, and wanted her character to look like a real middle-aged woman because there are already too many filtered and edited images out in the world.
“Listen, I hope that in playing Mare (Sheehan) as a middle-aged woman — I will be 46 in October — I guess that’s why people have connected with this character in the way that they have done because there are clearly no filters,” she told the New York Times.
“She’s a fully functioning, flawed woman with a body and a face that moves in a way that is synonymous with her age and her life and where she comes from. I think we’re starved of that a bit.”
The Titanic star – who filmed one of the most famous steamy sex scenes of all time in the back of a car with Leonardo DiCaprio in the 1997 disaster movie – knew a promo shot for the series had been edited immediately, because she knows “how many lines I have by the side of my eye.”
And when director Craig Zobel told her he was going to edit the belly area, she responded: “Don’t you dare!”
The Oscar-winner also admitted this could be her last nude scene – but not because of her age.
“I think my days are getting a little bit numbered of doing nudity,” she added. “I’m just not that comfortable doing it anymore. It’s not even really an age thing, actually. There comes a point where people are going to go, ‘Oh, here she goes again.’”
