Kate Winslet's daughter Mia Threapleton has hit out at nepo baby 'misconceptions'
Mia Threapleton has hit out at the "misconception" she's a 'nepo baby'.
The 24-year-old star - whose first major acting role came alongside her mother Kate Winslet in 'I Am Ruth' - has insisted despite being the daughter of Kate and filmmaker Jim Threapleton, she didn't spend her childhood growing up on movie sets.
She's quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper's Eden Confidential column as saying: "I feel like it's a misconception about me, considering who my mother is, that I grew up going to set or that I would know anything about this world because of her and what she does.
"That is not the case at all. I genuinely can count on not even two hands the amount of times I went to set as a kid.
"There were never scripts lying around the house."
Mia previously explained how she "never actually spent much time around sets" her mother was working on.
She told Variety: "It was always a special treat. It's a very different experience when it is happening to you, and not just something I was getting to observe from time to time.
"I really understand why my mum has always impressed on us how hard the work is. She is right! And I loved every second of it."
Meanwhile, Kate - who previously pointed out that her daughter's "different surname" means that she often escapes the 'nepo baby' claims - is proud of how determined Mia has been.
During a previous appearance on ITV daytime show 'Lorraine' in the UK, the 'Titanic' star said: "As far as performance, she didn't need me at all. There are even moments where she'd look at me and go, 'Shut up Mum, let me do it!'
"It was really amazing working alongside her and actually being blown away by her courage… she's very, very powerful.
"I think this young generation of actors, I have to say there is a naturalism to their acting and they're just braver."

Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood finally address 'ridiculous' reports of White Lotus feud
Walton Goggins has confirmed there is "no feud" with Aimee Lou Wood after 'The White Lotus'. The 53-year-old actor and his co-star - who played Rick Hatchett and Chelsea on the hit HBO show - have faced claims of a rift between them after he unfollowed her on Instagram once season three of Mike White's anthology drama was finished. In a joint interview for Variety's Actor on Actor series, he said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. 'This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. "I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' Walton insisted the speculation over him unfollowing her on social media was "such a comment on where we're at culturally". He argued: "Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a s**** about Instagram. 'Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea and enjoy it?' Meanwhile, 'Sex Education' star Aimee, 31, explained why she decided to stay silent on the rumours despite initially wanting to correct everyone. She said: "Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Walton took the opportunity in their interview to "follow" her right there and then, as he found his phone and opened up Instagram. He added: "It's all so ridiculous. It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.' As they hugged, she told him: 'I completely understand.' Meanwhile, Walton recalled having an emotional goodbye with 'Justified' castmate Tim Olyphant before not talking to him "for almost two years", which is what he's done "with every single thing" he's worked on. There was also the added heartbreak of him returning to Bangkok, Thailand for the first time since he escaped to the city after his wife took her own life in 2004. He explained: "My catharsis in this experience was different than other people's, because of my history in this place. "I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea. 'And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' He "needed to just back away from everyone", noting it wasn't a case of solely ignoring Aimee. He said: "I haven't spoken to anyone. I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f*** what you think. "This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this.'
