Kate Winslet is not a fan of Ozempic for weight loss.
While speaking to The New York Times Magazine in a wide-ranging interview published Sunday, the Mare of Easttown alum, 48, learned all about the type 2 diabetes drug, which has skyrocketed in popularity for casual weight loss, People reports.
“I actually don’t know what Ozempic is,” the English actress said. “All I know is that it’s some pill that people are taking or something like that.”
The outlet noted that the drug has yet to see the same popularity overseas as it has in the U.S.
While snacking on a pastry, The Holiday actress became intrigued by the medicine, asking what exactly it was. Upon discovery, she was not impressed.
“Oh, my God,” Winslet said. “This sounds terrible. Let’s eat some more things!”
During the interview, the actress recalled life around the time when she starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in her 1997 breakout role as Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic.
She said that as a young woman, British tabloids scrutinized her weight at every opportunity. There was also mention of the late Joan Rivers joking that Winslet had sunk the Titanic.
“I never told anyone about it,” the actress said of an eating disorder that she was dealing with at the time.
“Because guess what — people in the world around you go: ‘Hey, you look great! You lost weight!’ ” she said. “So even the compliment about looking good is connected to weight. And that is one thing I will not let people talk about. If they do, I pull them up straight away.”
