"I feel like nobody cares any more. No one's listening because they've become obsessed with chasing an idea of perfection to get more likes on Instagram. It upsets me so much."
"Oh, it's terrifying. I think no, not you! Why?"
"It is devastating. If a person's self-esteem is so bound up in how they look it's frightening. And it's puzzling because I have moments when I think it's better, when I look at actresses at events dressed how they want, whichever shape - but then so many people are on weight-loss drugs. It's so varied. Some are making choices to be themselves, others do everything they can to not be themselves. And do they know what they are putting in? The disregard for one's health is terrifying. It bothers me now more than ever. It is f*cking chaos out there."
Kate Winslet endured intense criticism about her body after Titanic and has faced ongoing scrutiny throughout her career. She experienced offers to have her belly "touched up" in postproduction to appear more palatable. Winslet, now 50, criticized trends like Botox, lip filler, and weight-loss drugs as fueled by an obsession with perfection and social media likes. She described the culture as terrifying and devastating, warned about the disregard for health, and contrasted those choosing authenticity with others who do everything to avoid being themselves. Her directorial debut, Goodbye June, releases on Netflix this week.
