Once famous for her curves, Kate Winslet looked strikingly svelte when she arrived for the UK premiere of her latest flick, Finding Neverland, in London.
Setting the flashbulbs blazing in a sky-blue Ben de Lisi gown and with a new shorter hairstyle to complement her size eight figure, the 29-year-old English Rose insisted she had not been on a diet. "I have not lost any weight," she said. "I had a baby and now I am back to normal. People always tell me I look like I have lost weight, but this is just me."
Also keeping the press pack busy and the fans happy at the glitzy event was leading man Johnny Depp. In the movie he plays the Scottish writer JM Barrie, who created the classic children's book Peter Pan. The film tells the story of how he was inspired to write the novel by a young mother, played by Kate, and her four sons.
And although he is regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation, Johnny admitted to having some trouble with the Scottish accent. "Musically, rhythmically, I initially couldn't quite get a hold of it," he revealed. "Luckily, I found this dialect coach who helped me out a great deal."
As for his reputation as a sex symbol, the 41-year-old remained humble. "I wouldn't say I'm a heart-throb," he said. "I just have a very weird job." |
