Kate Winslet is also gearing up for Mary and the Witch’s Flower and Avatar 2.

Actor Kate Winslet says she is worried about the pressure that young girls have in mind about looking in “perfect” shape. Winslet feels in today’s times, people celebrate curves more, reports dailymail.co.uk.

“Not so much. We have celebrated curves more in the last five years,” Kate told dailymail.co.uk.

“But I do worry about the extra pressure to be ‘perfect’ on girls growing up now. I’m obsessed about the misuse and potential perils of social media for our younger generation.

“We need to be aware of how damaging to children’s self-esteem and the natural process of growing up certain aspects of this ‘sharing’ are,” she added.

Kate Winslet will next bee seen in Wonder Wheel. The Hollywood star had recently revealed that she got a lot of criticism from director Woody Allen while filming for Wonder Wheel. She said he told her that he was “bored” watching her act out scenes.

“Woody has this way of standing up in the middle of a scene and stopping me and saying, ‘No, no, no!’ and I’d go, ‘Okay, what?’ and he’d say, ‘You know it’s just, I am so bored watching you.’ I find that funny,” Kate said during an interview to Hello Magazine.

Wonder Wheel also stars Justin Timberlake, Jim Belushi and Juno Templein a pivotal role. It is slated to release on December 1 in the U.S.

Kate is also gearing up for her upcoming project – Mary and the Witch’s Flower, a Japanese animated film for which she has lent her voice. She will also be seen in Avatar 2 in 2020.
