'I was not ready to be famous,' the actor said.

. “I was subjected to quite a lot of personal physical scrutiny, and I was criticized quite a lot. The British press were actually quite unkind to me."“I felt quite bullied if I’m honest,” she continued. “I remember just thinking, ‘OK, well, this is horrible and I hope it passes.’ It did definitely pass but it also made me realize that, if that’s what being famous was, I was not ready to be famous, thank you. No, definitely not.

She also said she went into “self-protective mode” after the film came out as she dealt with invasive press attention, recalling “cars and cars full of British tabloid photographers who were photographing me going and buying a pint of milk and a newspaper.” Winslet had appeared in movies before "Titanic," but she reached instant mega-stardom after her role in the 1997 blockbuster.After “Titanic” came out, Winslet said she focused on appearing in smaller indie films instead of jumping right into another mainstream blockbuster.

“I was still learning how to act. I’d only been doing it since I was 17, and so I still felt like I wasn’t really ready to do lots of big Hollywood jobs,” she said. “I didn’t want to make mistakes, I didn’t want to blow it. I wanted to be in it for the long game. So I did strategically try and find smaller things, just so I could understand the craft a bit better and also understand myself a bit better and maintain some degree of privacy and dignity.

She was beautiful in Titanic! WTH

She is so beautiful and that entire movie was beautiful. People criticize to boost themselves up. I know. I have done it to people too. But the boost is temporary and you feel crappy afterwards. She is a wonderful actress. She was never fat.

She was gorgeous in Titanic! She’s gorgeous now! Shame on fat shaming!

You mean today?

I think she’s beautiful.
