In a move set to outrage traditionalists, Kate Winslet is set to make an entire film without taking her shirt off.
”Yeah, I knew there’d be a fuss about this,” she told reporters at a press conference. “But it’s not gratuitous, the story demanded it. I am playing Mother Teresa, for God’s sake, there's just no way to work in a nude scene. And believe me, I pestered the director and screenwriter about it every day - I mean, she must have taken a shower occasionally, right? But they said no.
“But some of the comments I’ve read, suggesting I’ve finally realised it’s time to stop going topless in every film, are way off base. Just wait ‘til you see what I’ve just finished shooting: ‘Ann Widdecombe - The Early Years.’
“And before you all complain that Ann Widdecombe was never a Page 3 model - surely the film makes it clear that it’s a dream sequence?”
She then cut the press conference short, as she was booked to do a voiceover and needed time to get undressed first.
