Kate Winslet nude in Ammonite?

Kate Winslet, whose age is 43 as of now, confessed about her scene in an interview with DailyMail, where she talked out her role stating that she actually felt good to do a nude scene at the age of 43, and she "felt good about it".

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about how she and Saoirse had directed a scene in the film, Kate Winslet revealed that Francis Lee was very nervous about a specific scene when Kate told him to let her and Ronan work it out themselves, which they finally did. Kate also went on to say that she and Ronan then began marking out the beats of the scene so that they were anchored in something that just supported the narrative. She also added that she felt the proudest she’s ever felt for doing a love scene on Ammonite.
