Kate Winslet gives inspiring body image message to girls

Kate Winslet may be a stunner at the award shows and celebrity events, but the actress says it is important for her to convey to girls that celebrities do not look pretty all the time.

The 40-year-old “Steve Jobs” star does not want young girls to get the wrong idea about the glamorous appearances stars make, reported E! online.

“You know, we walk down red carpets. You know, it’s part of the job. But I think I feel very strongly that it’s important to also say to young girls that we don’t look like that all the time,” Winslet said.

The actress, who tasted success with “Titanic”, said she was bullied as a child over her weight.

“I was teased for how I looked. In part, yeah, because I was quite stocky as a child. And was very much teased for that,” she said.
