Nudity is part of my job: Kate Winslet

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet doesn't like shedding her clothes for a film but concedes nudity is part of the job.

British actress Kate Winslet admits she doesn't enjoy nude scenes.

Winslet has never seemed afraid of baring all onscreen and famously stripped down for intimate parts in The Reader.

While she believes it's important to be open to the idea, it's not something she's keen on.

"It's not something one enjoys necessarily," she's told Total Film.

"I think that would be a very honest and fair thing to say. But it's sometimes a part of my job."

In 1997, Winslet took on the iconic role of Leonardo DiCaprio's love interest in Titanic.

The 38-year-old Oscar winner was then, and still is, considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, but she believes there's no need for being immaculate.

"As I get older, I really don't care what people think of me and the way I look ... I don't have that physical insecurity anymore," she said.

"I just don't have it. Plus I do feel very determined that if I'm called to do any level of nudity on screen, I have to look like myself. The idea of that whole perfect thing makes me so crazy."
