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 keeps her Oscar in the bathroom

Kate Winslet’s Oscar is up for grabs – to anyone who visits her home.

Last year’s Best Actress winner, for The Reader, keeps her golden statuette in the bathroom so guests “can sneakily have a little [hold] and put it back down again,” she told the U.K. TV show GMTV on Monday.

Her reason for storing it there, she says, is “because basically everybody wants to touch it, everybody wants to hold it and go ‘Oh, my gosh,’ and ‘How heavy is it?’ So I figured if I put it [in there], then people can avoid the whole, ‘Where’s your Oscar?’ thing.”

Winslet, 34, also walked the red carpet at the annual BAFTA awards in London Sunday, and says she relishes the chance to dress up in award season.

“It’s great to wear lovely dresses and to just experience those moments of dress up, especially as a mum, because,” says the mother of two, “you get so few moments to feel good in your own skin and wear a lovely gown.

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday, March 7, and televised live on ABC beginning at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. ET.

Kate Winslet Says Her Style Icon Is Meryl Streep

Kate so-loves the way Meryl remains so unaffected by her success.

The British actress is amazed by how impressive Meryl is on the red carpet, and how she manages to take awards nominations in her stride.

Meryl has been nominated for an Academy Award a record 16 times, and Kate loves the way she remains so unaffected by her success.

“Meryl Streep as an actress has always been an icon for me and for women of my generation as a whole, I think,” Kate said. “We all want to be Meryl. I sometimes feel like, ‘Thank God we have her!’ She hasn’t adjusted herself at all, she remains totally true to who she is. Angelina Jolie also does really well in red carpet situations, she underplays it. And she is stunningly beautiful, of course.”
