Kate Winslet's daughter says her mom made her write a pros and cons list before signing up for Instagram when she was 14
Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton, 24, says she "never had" social media and doesn't want it. The Gen Z actor previously said her mom told her to write a list of pros and cons before joining Instagram. Winslet herself has also been vocal about the harmful impact of social media on children. Mia Threapleton, 24, says her mother, Kate Winslet, influenced her decision not to have social media. In an interview with Elle published on Thursday, the actor spoke about her upbringing and how her famous mother shaped her decision to live a private life. Threapleton told Elle that she doesn't have any social media accounts and doesn't plan on creating them anytime soon. "People say, 'Oh, well done,' to not having it, but I've never had it, so I don't really know what the 'Well done' is for. I don't want it. I don't want to worry about dropping my phone out of a tree if I'm climbing one because I'm trying to take a photo of something," Threapleton said. Part of it comes from the intense public scrutiny her mother faced at the height of her "Titanic" fame. Winslet has spoken multiple times about how she felt bullied and bodyshamed by the media after the movie came out. Threapleton said her mother made a point to instill body confidence from a young age, including times when she was insecure about showing her shoulders while swimming. "My mom said, 'No, this is strong. So many people would love to be able to swim the length of the pool the way you do — think of it as a positive thing,'" Threapleton said, recalling her mother's words. This isn't the first time that Threapleton has spoken about how her mother played a role in her decision not to use social media. In a May 17 interview with The Times, Threapleton said her mother encouraged her to make a list of pros and cons for joining Instagram when she was 14. "The cons completely outweighed the pros for me. That was quite a clarifying moment. Since then, the more time I spend in this world, the more I'm really happy that I don't have it," she said. Winslet herself has also been vocal about the harmful impact of social media on kids. In 2023, during an appearance on BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour," the "Little Children" actor spoke about why she believes kids shouldn't have social media and smartphones. "It's tampering with, sometimes, a very basic level of self-esteem. But on a bigger and darker scale, it's tampering with young people's self-esteem to the extent that they are completely losing a sense of who they are, and don't know how to communicate not just with their friends but their families," Winslet said. Several countries around the world are trying to implement stricter controls on social media use for kids. In November, Australia's government approved a law banning social media for children under 16. Norway also announced last year that it was exploring a sweeping social-media ban for children under 15. Representatives for Threapleton and Winslet did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider

Hollywood star left Kate Winslet ‘with a lot of bruises' after sex scene
Patrick Wilson has said he's 'sure' Kate Winslet was left with bruises after they filmed sex scenes together for Little Children. The Hard Candy actor, 51, starred alongside Winslet in Todd Field's 2006 suburban melodrama, which follows an unhappy housewife, Sarah, (Winslet) as she launches into an affair with a man on her street (Wilson). Wilson revealed that one scene in particular, where he and Winslet's characters have sex in a laundry room, would be very different if it were shot with intimacy co-ordinators today. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter's It Happened in Hollywood podcast, he said both he and Winslet were fully nude aside from modesty coverings, which were kept out of shot. '[Kate] was so cool and gracious and just a gamer – just like, 'Let's go for it,'' he recalled. 'There was never one awkward or weird moment. Never one. I loved it.' Wilson addressed rumours that Kate had bruised her bum during filming for the scene, as he explained that no body doubles were used, adding: 'I'm sure there were lots of bruises.' 'Put it this way, I haven't done a scene like that since post #MeToo and intimacy coordinators,' Wilson admitted. 'I do feel a little bit like a dinosaur when it comes to [having appeared in] those kinds of love scenes,' he added. It comes after Winslet admitted last year that she wished she'd had intimacy co-ordinators 'every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene' in her career. Speaking to The New York Times Magazine, Winslet expressed relief that younger actors no longer have to accept the same norms that she dealt with. 'I would have benefited from an intimacy coordinator every single time I had to do a love scene or be partially naked or even a kissing scene,' Winslet said. 'It would have been nice to have had someone in my corner because I always had to stand up for myself.' She added that there were several times in her career when she'd wanted to take a stand but felt like she was unable to, giving examples such as: 'I don't like that camera angle. I don't want to stand here full-frontal nude. I don't want this many people in the room. I want my dressing gown to be closer.' Winslet explained that having somebody else to advocate for her needs would have helped, as she feared becoming branded as difficult to work with. 'When you're young, you're so afraid of p***ing people off or coming across as rude or pathetic because you might need those things,' she said. 'So, learning to have a voice for oneself in those environments was very, very hard.'
