She has famously struggled with her weight during the early years of her fame. Nowadays, it appears that English actress Kate Winslet has achieved a figure she is content with.

According to Mail Online reports, Winslet can now also look back on her most well-known film "Titanic" and smile. While most fans of the film were distracted by how devastatingly handsome Leonardo DiCaprio was at the time, Kate Winslet got criticized for her weight. However, the actress believes that she has aged better than her co-star.

Kate Winslet joked during an appearance on "Daybreak" on English TV that she has lost weight since the classic 1997 film while Leonardo DiCaprio has piled on the kilos.

"We do look very different, we're older.Leo's 37, I'm 36. We were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he's fatter now - I'm thinner. It's true though!" the actress said. Winslet was only poking fun at her old friend, who she subsequently worked with on the Oscar-nominated 2008 movie, "Revolutionary Road."

The down-to-earth Winslet joked that she was horrified to see herself in 3D at the premiere of the re-released film after having not watched "Titanic" since it was first in cinemas 15 years ago.

"I put my glasses on and I sat there all excited and then the second my face came on I was like, 'Oh my God, make it stop, switch it off, somebody make it stop, turn the sound down, is that what we looked like? Oh my God, look what I looked like and look what Leo looks like!" Winslet shared.

"It was completely bizarre, it was like somebody saying we're going to take a home video that we made of you that's three-and-a-half hours long and we're going to make the world watch it all over again. And it was made 15 years ago, how do you feel about that? So bizarre," Winslet further added.

Winslet has also revealed that she will allow her children to watch the film despite the infamous nude portrait scene. "They've still not seen it but now they're perfect ages to see it and they'll see it on the big screen with me, in 3D. I mean it's going to be profoundly weird," she said.

"I know the bits where I'm going to be covering my eyes like this, and I'm on eye covering duty and someone else is going to be on ear covering duty because I haven't got enough hands!" the actress exclaimed.

Kate even joked that her son, Joe, would be more interested in what is available for dinner than watching her on screen. "He's fully going to be 'When's dinner time? Can we have dessert today and can I have ketchup?' I mean that's all he's going to really be concerned is when their next meal is coming," Winslet said.

"It was hard being that famous that quickly because one day I could go and buy a pint of milk and the next day I couldn't do that anymore - or I could, but they would write about how terrible I looked because I hadn't put make-up on. So it's a rather rude awakening when that happens to you," Kate said as she recalled the overnight international fame that she experienced with the release of the film "Titanic."
