HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kate Winslet has never shied from getting naked on screen, but she says her transformation from long to short on the red carpet has to do with the potential end of her glory years.
"I danced a lot when I was younger, and I've always had decent, shapely legs and thought it's now or never," she tells Harper's Bazaar. "I mean, when you're pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that's midthigh length? So I thought, Oh, f--- it, I'm just going to do it."
While there's nothing wrong with Winslet's legs, it's not the body part that most people associate her with. In fact, Oprah Winfrey once said on air: "God bless your real breasts."
"I'm used to people openly discussing my tits," says Winslet. "If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that's great."
While fans have grown accustomed to catching a glimpse of a nude Winslet on screen, the actress admits that every good show must come to an end.
"I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with it," she tells the mag of getting naked. "There was so much of it in 'The Reader' because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back."
