Oscar winner Kate Winslet recently had audiences in stitches with an unexpected tale from her time on Saturday Night Live in 2004. During her December 5 appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Winslet recounted an outrageous request from rapper Eminem, who was a guest on the same episode.
Winslet, 50, set the scene by revealing, "This is a story I've never, never told," before she dropped the bombshell: "Eminem asked me to shave his bottom." The actress followed up with her quick retort to the rapper's unusual ask, stating she told him, "I'm sorry, I don't do personal grooming." Her candid confession was met with uproarious laughter from the audience.
“He said, 'Will you shave my butt?' and I said, 'I'm sorry, I don't do personal grooming.' Like what? I'm not gonna go with a Bic and get your crack love. Honestly.”
The story highlights Winslet's ability to stay cool under pressure – even when faced with unexpected, laugh-inducing situations.
Winslet's comedic anecdotes didn't stop with Eminem. On November 18, she also entertained audiences on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a tale involving another famous figure – King Charles. She recalled meeting him in 1996 at the Sense and Sensibility premiere, vividly describing the panic of realizing she was wearing a "transparent lace outfit."
"Thank God I had worn a coat because as he is making his way towards me, I’m like, 'Nipples, nipples, nipples, oh my God!' And someone just went, 'Coat!' and I went, 'Your Majesty!' basically covering myself in a cape," she humorously recounted.
Beyond sharing her celebrity encounters, Winslet recently opened up in a December 7 interview with the Sunday Times, discussing her thoughts on cosmetic enhancements. Expressing her frustrations with the trend, she noted, "My favorite thing is when your hands get old. That’s life, in your hands." She emphasized the beauty in aging naturally, saying, "Some of the most beautiful women I know are over 70 and what upsets me is that young women have no concept of what being beautiful actually is."
Winslet's unfiltered views and humorous anecdotes continue to charm audiences worldwide, showcasing her as a relatable and down-to-earth star.
