Celebrated Hollywood actress Kate Winslet stated that she had been bullied in her childhood regarding her body and was called a blubber because of her oversized figure.

"I was always comparing myself to others. They called me 'blubber', they teased me for wanting to act. Locked me in the cupboard and would laugh at me," Kate Winslet said.

"I wasn't the prettiest and I was even told that I'd be lucky in my acting if I was happy to settle for the fat girl parts. I'd never let go of that, and they'd say, 'You're just not what we're looking for, Kate'. I'd hear that a lot. This unkindness made me feel truly horrendous," Kate added.

Winslet also said that because of her oversized figure, she was mostly cast in uncanny roles. However the actress said, but she didn't mind as she loved acting.

"I was always auditioning for the school plays. I didn't really get very good parts, mind you, but I didn't mind. I didn't care. I would often get cast as the crocodile, or the scarecrow, or the dark fairy. I was even a dancing frog once. But it didn't matter. I still loved it," stated the actress.

"I loved acting. It didn't matter how big or small the parts were. I wanted to be great and I was determined to keep learning." explained Kate.
