Kate Winslet Says Class Bullies Called Her BlubberActress Kate Winslet revealed in a Marie Claire interview that she was bullied for being chubby when she was younger. Kate says bullies at school nicknamed her "blubber" and even locked her in a cupboard.
The stunning star of "Revolutionary Road" opened up about being nicknamed Blubber at school and being accused of lying about her humble background in an interview with Britain's Marie Claire magazine. "I was bullied for being chubby. Where are they now?" she told the magazine, revealing that her tormentors even locked her in a cupboard. "I had, 'No one will ever fancy me!'... well into my teens, she added. "Even now I do not consider myself to be some kind of great, sexy beauty. Absolutely not." And, unlike many actresses, the British mother of two isn't afraid to acknowledge the camera trickery that goes on behind the scenes to achieve the movie-star perfection she's now famous for. Kate said she still feels like a fat kid in a Vanity Fair interview earlier this year. In that interview Kate said, "You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid."
