Kate Winslet Checks Out Her Butt and Talks About Having Blemishes

And this is why we love Kate Winslet!  The A-lister sat down to do an interview with Dateline and as usual, spoke very candidly.  The Revolutionary Road star dished about checking out her butt before leaving the house and says that people have an unrealistic picture of stars today – especially when it comes to their very photoshopped photos.

Winslet said,

“I don’t know a single woman who doesn’t stand up and check the tushie before she walks out the door,” she said. “I’ve decided I am going to start loving my backside, really just saying, yes. Because I don’t know anyone who does that, you know? And for my daughter, I want to be able to say to her, I love this.

“[Young women] look at all of us, myself included, on these magazine covers and they think, ‘my God, how does she get skin like that?’ And I can tell you, I have so many blemishes under this makeup that have been so fabulously covered. I promise you. I promise you,” she said. “But I did realize a few years ago that no one actually talks about this retouching thing. It’s like a secret or something. I’m damned if it’s going to be a secret anymore. I really want these young women to know we don’t look like this.”

Yes!  Tell it like it is, Kate!  The frank, talented actress is nominated for yet another Oscar this year for her role in The Reader.  As you may remember, she has been in the running six times for the coveted award.  When asked about this year’s nomination, she quietly replied,

“It would be nice to know what it feels like in that situation to win sometime.”
