Kate Winslet says it felt “good” to do nude scenes in her forties.
The Hollywood star, 45, strips off for a love scene with Saoirse Ronan, 26, in the new film Ammonite.
She told the Daily Mail: “I remember saying: ‘Here I am, doing nudity at 43 (the age she was when she made the film). How is this possible?’
“I swear, I thought I was going to hang up my hat when it came to nudity on screen.
“But I was surprised at how I felt. I felt quite good about it, really.
“I’ve got all my marks, and scars, and I’m older. It’s a different body than the one I had 20 years ago.”
Winslet plays the palaeontologist Mary Anning in Francis Lee’s new movie.
She said of the love scene: “There was something wonderful about having that shared, equal language with another woman.”
And “knowing what women want” enabled the co-stars to get the scene right, the former Titanic star said.
