Kate Winslet would like to reframe the public narrative about taking ownership of ones unvarnished appearance on the big screen.

In an interview with Time published Thursday, Winslet brushed off the idea that female actors who opt to forgo makeup and are comfortable baring everything on camera should be deemed brave.

Thats not fucking brave, she told the publication. Im not an ex-postmaster fighting for justice, Im not in the Ukraine. Im doing a job that matters to me.

Winslet, a 2009 Oscar winner for The Reader, will next be seen as renowned World War II photographer Lee Miller in Lee, which hits theaters this month. The biopic, directed by Ellen Kuras, apparently had a rocky production, with Winslet even personally paying the cast and crews salaries for two weeks.

Much of the early buzz on Lee has included discussion of the films nude scenes. To prepare for her role, Winslet stopped working out so her body would appear, as Harpers Bazaar put it, authentically soft.

The films production team, Winslet explained, were caught a bit off-guard at first.
