Curvaceous actress Kate Winslet has blasted Hollywood’s obsession with super-skinny women.
The ‘Titanic’ actress is so disturbed by the trend for size zero celebrities, like Nicole Richie, that she’s banned her husband, director Sam Mendes, from discussing weight in their home.
She says: "This skinny thing, it angers me so much. It disturbs me. In our house, we don't talk about weight, we don't talk about body image.
"I don't understand the fascination with it. The interest in certain people, like Nicole Richie, in regards to weight, is incredible, and it's a mystery to me."
She has also revealed she loves her curvy figure and, as a role model to young women, feels she has a responsibility to keep to a healthy weight.
"Now, more than ever, I feel this tremendous sense of staying the same shape and saying, 'Look! I get pimples too‘,” she says.
"In the past, people have been a little unkind when it comes to discussing my weight, but I'm happy with my shape and size - I work out when I get the time. I accepted a long time ago that I wasn't going to be able to wear skinny jeans."
