During an interview with The Sunday Times, Kate said that others told her she’d be playing “fat girl” roles.

“It can be extremely negative,” she explained. “People are subject to scrutiny that is more than a young, vulnerable person can cope with.”

However, she noticed that things were changing: “But in the film industry it is really changing. When I was younger my agent would get calls saying, ‘How’s her weight?’ I kid you not. So it’s heartwarming that this has started to change.”

Kate recently opened up about working with her daughter, Mia Threapleton, in the I Am series.
