A 39 year old Kate Winslet posted her candid make-up free photo on Facebook to combat negative body image and help woman to embrace their individuality, ”I know I am chubby, I have big feet, and have bad hair days, when I grew up and even now sometimes, I hardly hear any positive reinforcement about body image from any female. I mostly hear negatives,” she wrote underneath the image.

She urged people to share the post, she claimed it would hit back at “haters” as she wouldn’t be a victim of negative comments: “Share the message everywhere and let it reach the haters and let them know that you don’t give a damn about the negatives and you chose not to be a victim to those bullies who make fun of others based on appearances, race, gender, etc” she wrote.
