British actress Kate Winslet has spoken out over the “unbelievably disturbing” trend of super thin stars. The 31-year-old mother of two, who is currently promoting her film Holiday, says that the “image of perfection” is “just getting thinner and thinner.”

Titanic star Kate said she has bucked this trend by refusing to give in to pressures to slim down to tiny sizes.

She hoped that “in some small way”, she has made a difference. Kate explained that she does what she can in her house to keep things realistic. “We don’t have any magazines in the house”, she said adding that these publications are “damaging”.

“I don’t want to be a finger pointer…but young girls are very impressionable”, she says.
