Kate
Winslet Attacks Size
Zero
Trend
Kate
Winslet
has spoken out against
the proliferation of
"size zero" female stars
and models.
The
31-year-old mother of
two called the trend
"unbelievably
disturbing".
"What
I resent is that there
is an image of
perfection that is
getting thinner and
thinner."
The
actress said she refused
to have magazines in the
house because of the
damaging effect it could
have on her six-year-old
daughter,
Mia.
"It's
only a matter of time
before she becomes aware
of it and it frightens
the life out of me,"
said the actress, who is
promoting film comedy
The Holiday, with Jude
Law and Cameron
Diaz.
She
spoke of her admiration
for actresses Emma
Thompson and Meryl
Streep, adding "their
faces move".
"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'."
Former
Doctor Who star
Billie
Piper
made similiar claims,
when she told Glamour
magazine: "I think the
whole size zero debate
is disgusting. My
sister, who is 13, looks
amazing but she's
already worried about
her figure," said Piper,
24. She love
Victoria
Beckham
and I say 'Come on
Ellie, she's tiny.
What's wrong with
Shakira? She's sexy,
curvy'. But she has no
interest."
