Kate Winslet's pretty problem

Kate Winslet was terrified about starring in 'The Holiday' - because she didn't feel pretty enough. The British actress - who shared the screen with Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black in the romantic comedy - felt intimidated at the thought that film fans would see the real her.She told In Style magazine: "I've never played a modern English girl in a movie. It was weirdly more intimidating because I was like, 'I don't have an accent to hide behind. I don't have any eccentric clothing. I have to look good in these jeans and ballet flats."The 31-year-old star has also revealed that she has been able to pick and choose her film roles more selectively since marrying director Sam Mendez in 2003.She said: "Meeting Sam has made an amazing difference in my life and in terms of work he has been brilliant, saying, 'Don't feel guilty about the kids, I'll be at home.'"Kate has a son, Alfie, three, with Sam and a six-year-old daughter, Mia, from her previous marriage to film director Jim Threapleton.(C) BANG Media International
