Popular Hollywood actress Kate Winslet has revealed how her life became ‘horrible’ after she featured in the 1997 blockbuster movie ‘Titanic’ at the age of 22.
The talented Oscar-winning Spain, who recounted her ordeal in a new interview, shared how global stardom in her early twenties was ‘quite unpleasant’.
The 48-year-old also reflected on the emotional toll the movie’s success took on her and how media intrusion made her life difficult as a young actress.

“I felt like I had to look a certain way or be a certain thing, and because media intrusion was so significant at that time, my life was quite unpleasant,” she told Net-a-Porter.
She also revealed that after Titanic, she was keen to take on smaller roles.
“Journalists would always say, ‘After Titanic, you could have done anything and yet you chose to do these small things’… and I was like, ‘Yeah, you bet your f***in’ life I did!
“Because, guess what, being famous was horrible.’ I was grateful, of course. I was in my early twenties, and I was able to get a flat. But I didn’t want to be followed literally feeding the ducks.”
