Kate lays bare the truth

Kate Winslet has stripped off and bared (almost) all in a passionate scene for her new movie, The Reader.

The stills prove that her figure is, indeed, as slim as it appeared in a recent magazine shoot.

The actress, 33, has been at the centre of several airbrushing controversies over the years.

The latest involved the Vanity Fair article, in which semi-nude pictures appeared to have been heavily altered. The magazine confessed there had been a ‘minimal amount of retouching’.

In 2003, GQ magazine admitted altering its cover photograph of the actress to make her appear thinner. Miss Winslet, who has always championed fuller-figured women, claimed she did not give consent for the digital effects.

“I don’t want people to think I was a hypocrite and had suddenly gone and lost 30lb, which is something I would never do,” she said.

In 2005, a poster image of her to advertise the film Romance and Cigarettes was tampered with.

In The Reader, which is to be released next month, Miss Winslet plays a Nazi war criminal, Hanna Schmitz, who has an affair with a 15-year-old boy, played by David Kross.

A spokesman for The Weinstein Company, which produced the film, said none of the scenes featuring Miss Winslet had been digitally enhanced.

“Anyone who has seen her at any of her recent premieres will have seen what great shape she’s in,” the spokesman said.
