Kate Winslet reflects on filming intimate scenes early in her career

Kate Winslet has shared her experience filming intimate scenes early in her career.

During an appearance on the latest episode of the Team Deakins podcast, the 50-year-old actress shared that her "first intimate experiences" as a teen were "with girls."

Recalling her breakout performance in the drama-thriller, Heavenly Creatures, Kate said, “I’ll share something I’ve never shared before. Some of my first intimate experiences as a young teen were actually with girls."

"I’d kissed a few girls, and I’d kissed a few boys, but I wasn’t particularly evolved in either direction," she explained.

The Titanic actress further said, “At that stage in my life, I certainly was curious, and I think there was something about the really intense connection that those two women had that I profoundly understood."

"I was so immediately sucked into the vortex of that world they were in that obviously became horrendously damaging to both of them, and they had huge insecurities and vulnerabilities," she added.

For those unversed, Kate starred opposite Melanie Lynskey in Heavenly Creatures. The film follows a tale of two teenage girls whose intense friendship spirals into a dangerously obsessive bond.

Heavenly Creatures was released in cinemas in 1994.
