Kate Winslet Goes Viral With Sweet Video Of Star Empowering Nervous Young Journalist Conducting First Interview

Such a sweet story!

Kate Winslet empowered a young journalist conducting her first interview and the video of the moment has now gone viral.

In the clip that has been viewed thousands of times on social media, the Avatar: The Way of Water star sat down for an interview with a kid that admitted she was a little anxious.

“It’s my first time,” said the interviewer.

Winslet leaned forward and said, “This is your first time doing it? OK, well, guess what. When we do this interview, it’s going to be the most amazing interview ever. And do you know why? Because we’ve decided that it is going to be.”

As the interviewer nervously laughed, Winslet continued, “So, we’ve decided right now, me and you, this is going to be a really fantastic interview. And you can ask me anything that you want and you don’t have to be scared, everything is going to be amazing.”

The young journalist agreed with the Titanic star and the actor reassured her saying, “You got this. OK, let’s do it!”

Winslet returned to work under the direction of James Cameron for the Avatar sequel. During the premiere event in London back in December 2022, Winslet noted that it was “absolutely amazing” working with him after 25 years.

“He’s so good at pulling the actors together and letting them figure it out,” she told Deadline. “If something doesn’t work, he’ll say, ‘OK, let’s do something else.’ And so, that sense of collaboration was amazing and actually, I think probably more so than I had anticipated.”

Winslet also noted that Cameron is a lot “calmer and chill” now since he’s become a parent.

Kate Winslet proves even Hollywood superstars count pennies

The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.

Kate Winslet has shown that even Oscar-winning stars count their pennies as she was spotted cashing in $75 in loose change.

The Titanic star was spotted with her children Mia and Joe taking the big bag of coins to a New York bank to change into notes.

Winslet, who recently split from husband Sam Mendes, then got flustered when the bank told her she could not convert the coins because she did not have an account there — leading a Good Samaritan behind her to help.

After converting the coins, Winslet removed her sunglasses — and only then did her helper realize who she was.

“Oh my — are you Kate Winslet?!” he stammered, to the amusement of onlookers at the Chase bank.

Winslet laughed and nodded, and later was overheard telling the chivalrous Samaritan that her kids were about to spend the day with the baby-sitter while she headed to work shooting her new miniseries Mildred Pierce.

Kate Winslet narrates anti foie gras video

Kate Winslet has lent her voice to narrate a new video on the cruelty of foie gras.

“Foie gras is sold as an expensive delicacy in some restaurants and shops, but no one pays a higher price for foie gras than the ducks and geese who are abused and killed to make it,” Winslet says in a video for PETA.

“Please join us in helping ducks and geese by pledging never to eat foie gras.”

Foie gras is a delicacy produced by force feeding geese to a point where their livers swell tremendously, up to ten times their normal size.

As a result, the animals become sick and unable to move naturally.

The birds’ throats often bleed from the tubes placed in them for feeding and according to The Daily Latest News, the bodies of the birds who have died show heavy internal bleeding, fungal and bacterial infections and hepatic encephalopathy – a brain ailment caused by liver failure.

Winslet joins several other British celebrities who’ve spoken against the industry, including Sir Roger Moore.
