Kate Winslet was recently caught on camera sharing kind words with a nervous young reporter during the international press junket for her new film “Avatar: The Way of Water.”
The wholesome moment has gone viral on social media in less than 24 hours, with over 1 million views on Twitter. A young reporter named Martha for the German TV network ZDF was conducting her first interview with the awarding-winning actress.
“Um, it’s my first time,” Martha told Winslet, who replied, “OK, well guess what? When we do this interview, it’s going to be the most amazing interview ever.”
She continued, “And do you know why? Because we’ve decided that it’s going to be. So, we’ve decided right now, me and you, that this is going to be a really fantastic interview.”
Winslet added, “You can ask me anything that you want, and you don’t have to be scared. Everything is going to be amazing. OK? You’ve got this. OK, let’s do it!”
In the “Way of Water” Winslet plays Ronal, a pregnant free diver of the Metkayina water clan and one of the movie’s central characters. The James Cameron-directed film has garnered over $1.7 billion in ticket sales.
