Kate Winslet has spoken about how she coped with "appalling" reporting and intrusion by the media after rising to fame as Rose in James Cameron's 1997 epic, Titanic.
The actor and director said she was followed by paparazzi and had her phone tapped, with people even looking through her bins and asking her local shops what she bought to "try and figure out what diet I was on or wasn't on".
"It was horrific," she said. Years later, she experienced further intrusion during a marriage breakdown, adding the ways she dealt with the media attention were "a good meal, a shared conversation, a nice cup of coffee, a bit of Radiohead and a good poo".
"You know, life's all the better for those things," she told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
While filming Titanic in her early 20s, Winslet wasn't in a "particularly good shape" mentally around her body, she said.
