Kate Winslet says she felt 'bullied' post the success of 'Titanic'

James Cameron’s 1997 hit ‘Titanic’may have catapulted the lead pair Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio to superstardom, but the flip side of this stardom led to intrusion into their personal lives. Kate Winslet, in a recent interview, has revealed that she felt bullied post the success of ‘Titanic’. 

Winslet became a household name at the age of 21 after the success of the James Cameron film that cast her as Leonardo DiCaprio’s romantic lead. 

During an appearance in the podcast WTF, the actress has spoken about the aftermath of her breakout role in her personal life. 

“I went into self-protective mode right away (after ‘Titanic’ came out),” Winslet said. “It was like night and day from one day to the next. I was subject to a lot of personal physical scrutiny, I was criticised a lot and the British press were quite unkind to me, “she added. 

“I felt bullied if I’m honest. I remember thinking, ‘this is horrible and I hope it passes’ — it did definitely pass but it made me realise that, if that’s what being famous was, I was not ready to be famous, definitely not,” she shared.

Kate recalls that instead of cashing on her newfound fame, she chose to hone her craft.

“I still felt like I wasn’t really ready to do lots of big Hollywood jobs. It was a huge responsibility. 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 understand myself a bit better, and maintain some degree of privacy and dignity,” Winslet said.

The two time Oscar winner eventually played prominent roles in films like ‘The Reader’, ‘Revolutionary Road’ and ‘Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind’ to name a few. She was last seen in ‘Ammonite’ where she played as real-life palaeontologist Mary Anning, who falls madly in love with a young woman played by Saoirse Ronan.
