Enough-you talk about this subject too much-you look fine. British actress Kate Winslet is pictured in the dress of a post war German conductress during a shoot of the hollywood film \'The Reader\', in Goerlitz, Germany, EPA/JENS TRENKLER

Kate Winslet says she has a "crumble baby belly".

The British actress appears naked in her new film 'The Reader' but refused to use a body double or lose weight for the scenes, wanting a completely realistic look for her character.

Describing her own body, Kate admits to having aged, but maintains she is proud of her flawed physique, saying: "Here we go, I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids... I'm doing all right. I'm 33. I don't look in the mirror and go, 'Oh, I look fantastic!' Of course I don't.

"Nobody is perfect. I just don't believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, 'This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!' I'm proud of that."

The five-time Oscar-nominated actress also says she tries to keep healthy, but doesn't limit what she eats.

She added to British newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye: "I'm not a supermodel and I do whatever I can just to stay healthy. I don't go to the gym... My body's different. It has settled into what it is now. None of this different diets lark. I can't remember the last time I tried some new fad."

Kate also maintains she tries to give her two children - eight-year-old Mia, her daughter with ex-husband Jim Threapleton, and son Joe, four, with director husband Sam Mendes - as normal an upbringing as possible.

She added: "Life gets too complicated - and I don't want that for my kids. I don't want staff running around. I want them to put their own dirty clothes in the laundry bin and bring their plates from the table to the sink. It's as normal as we can be."

Kate can next be seen in 'The Reader' with Ralph Fiennes and 'Revolutionary Road' opposite Leonard DiCaprio.
