Kate Winslet: Au Naturale in NYC

Braving the chilly winter weather, Kate Winslet was spotted making her way around the West Village of Manhattan earlier today (March 3).

The Oscar-winning actress opted to go makeup-free as she strolled down the street, trying her best to ignore the paparazzi firing away in the distance.

In a recent interview, Winslet spoke candidly about her uncanny ability to pull off realistic sex scenes in her movies, noting that getting in some practice is the key.

She revealed, “Just doing it again makes it easier. When you’ve done it once you’re not really having sex with these people, you’ve got some little covering thing.”

Kate continued, “Actually, I didn’t have that much in The Reader ¬– but you do usually and it’s not pornography. It’s acting and it’s just a part of this job. As I get older I really don’t care what people think of me or how I look.”
