Kate Winslet Hates To Be Called A Movie Star

Kate Winslet hates to be called a "movie star." The double Golden Globe-winning star insists she lives a normal life, without private jets, chefs or personal trainers.

Kate - who is married to Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes - said: "Please don't call me a movie star. I don't feel like a movie star in my life at all, and I don't particularly think I behave like one. I don't have my own plane. I don't have a chef or a trainer."

"To me, you're a movie star only during the time when you're at the Academy Awards or at an important glamorous event. It's very much a hat that you wear, and as soon as the event's over, the hat comes off. I'm back to being me and being mommy, and that's my priority."

The 33-year-old British beauty - who insists she lives a normal, quiet life with Sam, their son Joe and Kate's daughter Mia, from a previous marriage - is also proud she and "Revolutionary Road" co-star Leonardo DiCaprio have not had botox, or other cosmetic procedures.
