She recently called out directors on her new show for wanting to airbrush her body, now Kate Winslet is reassuring us that Hollywood women don't look 'perfect' all the time.

The star of the new hit TV series the Mare of Easttown told the Telegraph that it was a myth that Hollywood stars looked great all the time.

She went on to say that playing a relatable character in her new show allowed her to 'cut through that myth'.

The Titanic actress said, "I have to say there’s a myth around famous Hollywood women that they kind of look perfect all the time."

"For me, playing Mare was almost an opportunity to cut through that myth and show that this is just a real person, a real mother juggling real life. I definitely feel more compelled now to make sure that the characters I play look relatable and accessible."

The HBO mini-series sees Kate shed her English persona to play Mare Sheehan, a troubled detective whose life is upturned after she reopens an investigation into a missing girl in her hometown of Philadephia.
