Kate Winslet wanted her Lee Miller biography to be as real as possible.

The actress, who also produces WWII-set indies, portrays former model turned war correspondent and photographer Miller in “Lee.” Winslet told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she deliberately wanted to show off her real body and not hide her “abs” while in character.

“There’s a bit where Lee is sitting on a bench in a bikini,Winslet said. “And one of the crew came up between takes and said, ‘You might want to sit up straighter.’ So you can’t see my stomach is rolling? Not on your life! It was on purpose, you know?”

Winslet added that she is “proud” of her aging process.

“It’s my life on my face, and it’s important,” the Oscar winner said. “It wouldn’t occur to me to hide it. I think people know better than to say, ‘You might want to do something about those wrinkles.’ I’m more comfortable in myself every year that goes by. It does it possible for me to allow the opinions of others to evaporate.”

Winslet previously shared Vogue 2023 that she “must be really fucking brave to let my body be its softest version of itself and not hide from it” for film.

“Believe me, people on our own team would say, ‘You might just want to sit up a little bit.’ And I would say, ‘Why? (Because of) the piece of meat you can see? No, that’s how it’s going to be!’” echoed Winslet at the time.

Winslet has explained how she was forced to stand out “bullying” over her looks after the release of the films “Heavenly Creatures” and “Titanic”. She said at one point she struggled with an eating disorder.

“I was already experiencing tremendous amounts of judgment, persecution, all this bullying,” Winslet said. “People can call me fat. They can call me whatever they want. But they certainly cannot say that I complained and behaved badly, over my dead body. I wouldn’t have known how to do it without those in power turning around and saying, ‘Oh, Jesus Christ, you know, her again, that complainer. I would rather suffer in silence than ever let that happen to me, even today.”
