Kate Winslet: “I'm not middle class”



The Reader star Kate Winslet has revealed all about her childhood and slammed the middle-class tag she has been associated with.


Kate, 33, has received a number of acting awards including an Oscar earlier this year, but said she isn't middle class.


She told how, despite listing their professions as actors, her parents had other jobs to support the family.


Her mum worked in a local pub and her dad worked hard after almost losing his foot in a boating accident when Kate was just 11.


She told the UK edition of Marie Claire magazine: ""My dad was very much a struggling actor and spent more of his life as a postman, as a member of a tarmac firm, as a van driver. He'd sell Christmas trees. Anything."


Kate is married to director Sam Mendes and they have a five-year-old son Joe and Kate also has a daughter Mia, eight, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton.


But Kate said that her parents are needing her more and more now they are getting older.


She said: "Sam said to me not long ago that we really need to try to find a way to be more consistently in England. I said: 'Well, at the point our parents really need us to be around, of course, we'll be there.' And he said: 'Darling, that's now.'"
