Kate Winslet reflects on the "appalling" way she was treated following the success of the Titanic in 1997.

During an interview with 60 minutes, the Oscar winner talked about how her body was scrutinized after she appeared in the hit film. "It was absolutely appalling," Winslet said in response to commentators discussing her weight. "What kind of person should they be to do such a thing to a young actress who is trying to understand it?

However, Winslet confirmed that she challenged 1 reporter who commented on her body. "I got face to face," she revealed on the show. "I let them have it. I said, "I hope this is bothering you.

Recalling a difficult memory, Winslet was visibly upset and said, "It was horrible, it was really bad, it was not just for me, it was for all those who had been harassed at that level.""

Winslet also discussed how people continue to comment on her body, which is a double standard compared to her male peers. "People say, "Oh, you've been so brave for this role,"" Winslet explained. "You were not wearing makeup. You had wrinkles."She continued, "Do we say to the men, "Oh, you were so brave for this role. did you grow a beard?"No. "She explained,"It's not brave. It plays a role.

This is not the first time Winslet has addressed the comments she regularly treats as women. About the latest film "Lee," which will play model–turned–war correspondent Elizabeth "Lee" Miller, Winslet told Harper's Bazaar UK, "There's a bit of a place where Lee sits on a bikini bench, and one of the crew comes in between takes and says, "You might want to sit straight.""So you can't see my belly roll" is not your life!

Rather than being influenced by such comments, Winslet stands by any body shame she encounters on set or in real life, "and vice versa," she explained. "It's my life on my face and I'm proud of it because it matters. Hiding it wouldn't happen to me."
