Kate Winslet shared her first intimate experiences as a teenager. She made this revelation while discussing her role in the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures.
On December 24 episode of the Team Deakins podcast, the Titanic actress said:
“Some of my first intimate experiences as a young teen were actually with girls. I'd kissed a few girls, and I'd kissed a few boys, but I wasn't particularly evolved in either direction.”
Winslet, who was 17 during filming, said these experiences allowed her to understand the "really intense connection" between her character (Juliet Hulme) and Melanie Lynskey's (Pauline Parker).
On the personal front, the 50-year-old is currently married to businessman Edward Abel Smith (also known as Ned Rocknroll). She has been married before Jim Threapleton and director Sam Mendes. She has a child from each marriage out of which two are actors, Mia Threapleton and Joe Anders. She welcomed Bear Blaze Winslet with her third husband.
