The “Mare of Easttown” actress opened up about aging and unrealistic beauty standards on the BBC “Woman’s Hour” podcast this week.
When discussing the criticism she received for her appearance in “Mare” ahead of her new BBC drama, “I Am Ruth,” the actress said she was tired of the double standards in Hollywood.
“You’d never make that much fuss or that much noise about a male actor’s appearance, would you now?” Winslet told the podcast. “No, you flipping wouldn’t.” And while viewers criticized the “Titanic” actress for looking like she wasn’t wearing any makeup while filming the HBO crime drama, Winslet said this only made her want to take it “one step further” for her next project.
Elaborating about her charity work — the Oscar winner recently donated £17,000 to a struggling family she saw highlighted in a BBC Scotland documentary — Winslet said she felt “a shift” in her forties away from worrying about things like appearance.“I care passionately about highlighting issues that need to be talked about that perhaps people find hard to talk about,” she explained. “And not shying away from truly looking like a hot mess a lot of the time.
