Kate Winslet Appears in New Netflix Movie

Kate Winslet is currently promoting her latest film 'Goodbye, June,' which was cowritten by her son.
Winslet appeared on the talk show as she promotes her latest film, Goodbye June, marking her directorial debut, when the project hits streaming services on December 24. Winslet admitted she was worried about how the project, which was written by her 21-year-old son, Joe Anders, would be received.
“You never know,” she said. “It’s the same thing with any acting. You can go to work and leave your blood on the floor as an actor and leave no stone unturned, but you still don’t know whether the performance is going to work or not or fit with the finished film. There’s always that element of the unknown, which is terrifying. But I think that’s why we do it, because we’d be absolutely nothing if we didn’t feel fear, because fear makes you want to push yourself further and try new things.”
