Kate Winslet chats to New York Times #MareofEasttown.
Love Kate Winslet and this frank, down to earth interview here with New York Times .
Confirm or Deny:
Maureen Dowd: Bob Iger approached you about making “Titanic II” for Disney Plus.
Kate Winslet: No, never did, and I never would.
You pocketed a few things before you jumped ship from the set of “Titanic.”
People stole the White Star Line cups and saucers. I was good. I did take a pair of Rose’s earrings, but somewhere I lost one.
Like Mare, you have a gloriously filthy mouth in real life.
(Laughs.) True, yes.
You can’t stop reading about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
What? No! I’ve never read about Jennifer in my life. What are these questions?
“Hideous Kinky” was neither hideous nor kinky.
I don’t even know how to answer these questions.
You keep your Oscar on the back of your toilet.
I don’t actually know where the Oscar is at the moment. I think it’s possibly in my son’s bedroom. But it was on the back of the toilet for a long time, yes.
You lived in New York for 10 years and never once went to Philly.
That’s true.
You’ve incorporated the Philly slang word “jawn” into your vocabulary.
John, as in a man’s name?
You went to Rita’s for wooder ice.
No, I didn’t go to Rita’s.
This role is the first time you held a gun, and you didn’t like it.
True.
In John Turturro’s “Romance & Cigarettes,” you simulated sex with James Gandolfini bouncing on an exercise ball.
I had ripped all the ligaments on the left side of my foot. I’m nursing my son. As I’m bouncing on that ball, I’m actually bouncing using one foot with my leg in the cast improvising at three o’clock in the morning. We were in hysterics. Oh, God, I loved Jimmy Gandolfini so much. He was just so wonderful, so insecure and just so honest.
Guy Pearce washes cans in the dishwasher before he puts them in the recycling can.
That is true.
