Kate Winslet is both talented and smart. In an interview with BBC's "Sunday AM" program, she had some strong words about the use of underweight models. She finds the use of ultra-thin models and actresses very unsettling, and as a result, she does not let her 6 year old daughter look at magazines that feature such pictures.
“It’s only a matter of time before she becomes aware of it, and it frightens the life out of me,” Winslet said of her daughter, Mia.
Discussing impressionable preteens and teens, Winslet noted:
“They’re trying to figure out who they are, and they want to be loved, and what I resent is that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner, and it’s truly upsetting to me.”
“I hope that in some small way I’m able to say, ‘I’m a normal person, I’m doing all right.’ I’ve got a lovely husband and children and I didn’t lose weight to find those things, and those things are what should be important.”
When will the fashion industry come to a similar conclusion?
