Kate Winslet admits filming Revolutionary Road sex scenes with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in front of the director’s husband, Sir Sam Mendes, was “very strange”
Kate Winslet has admitted that filming sex scenes with her former co-star and friend Leonardo DiCaprio in front of her husband, Sir Sam Mendes, was “weird.”
The 47-year-old actress starred with her Titanic co-star in Revolutionary Road in 2008 and said filming the sex scenes was not comfortable.
However, Leonardo previously said that the pair “definitely have a comfort level with each other” that pushes them to be better actors.
He said: ‘We were actively looking for something to do together. It felt very natural. She is my friend. We can push the boundaries between us.
We use the fact that we have been such good friends over the years to our advantage.

“There’s definitely a comfort level that we have with each other and we challenge each other as actors.”
Kate agreed with the Wolf Of Wall Street star, but admitted that the sex scenes were awkward because her husband, the director, was there.
Kate said: “It was the element of, ‘Okay, my husband is there.'” That was a bit weird.
Leonardo added that she was the “consummated professional” playing April, which later earned her a Golden Globe in 2009.
Kate fell in love with Sam after her first marriage to Jim Threapleton, with whom she shares a 21-year-old daughter, Mia.

The couple is now a co-parent, she said. Mirror: ‘One thing I will say about myself and Sam is that it’s fine, it’s really fine.
“We’re adults at the end of the day, and as hard as it’s been for me, it’s been just as hard for him.
“And we have a son together who we both love, and raising him together, together and without any conflict, is absolutely key.”
Kate has since found love again with Sir Richard Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll, whom she married in New York in 2012.
