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.
