Kate Winslet Explains Why She Never Dated Leonardo DiCaprio

Kate Winslet pops her collar on the cover of Marie Claire UK‘s November 2014 issue.

Here is what the 38-year-old A Little Chaos actress had to share with the mag:

On why she never got romantic with Leonardo DiCaprio: “I think the reason that friendship works is because there was never any romantic thing. It’s so disappointing for people to hear that, because in the soap opera of the Kate and Leo story we fell in love at first sight and had a million snogs, but actually we never did. He always saw me as one of the boys. I’ve never really been a girly-girl.”

On her skin troubles: “I had a terrible bout of acne after I turned 30. I kept reading about my sodding dewy complexion and thinking, ‘Oh sh-t, look at me, I’m covered in bloody spots, proper cystic bumps, if only they knew…’”

On people in Hollywood obsessed with diets: “Whenever I go to LA the make-up artist or hairdresser will end up having a conversation about how fat they think they are and I really just can’t take it seriously at all. I’m just like, ‘Yeah, you’re right, you look gigantic, you need to lay off those bolied bits of chicken you’ve been eating because have you seen your arse?’ And they’re the size of a blinking pin. I’m no stranger to the occasional dodgy juice, but it doesn’t taste very nice and it is bloody boring. It’s not a way to live.”
