Kate Winslet “kissed a few girls [and] boys” during her “first intimate experiences” as a teen.
The actress made the confession — “something [she has] never shared before” — on Wednesday’s “Team Deakins” podcast episode.
“At that stage in my life, I certainly was curious,” the Oscar winner said, clarifying that she hadn’t been “particularly evolved in either direction.”

This gave Winslet a “profound” understanding of her and Melanie Lynskey’s 1994 movie, “Heavenly Creatures.”
“There was something about the really intense connection that those two women had,” Winslet explained of the film, which featured two teenage girls with an obsessive friendship.
“I was so immediately sucked into the vortex of that world they were in that obviously became horrendously damaging to both of them, and they had huge insecurities and vulnerabilities,” the “Titanic” star added.

Winslet’s first public romance was at age 15 with actor Stephen Tredre, 12 years her senior, from 1991 to 1995.
In 1998, the Golden Globe winner married filmmaker Jim Threapleton, with whom she shares 25-year-old daughter Mia.
The former couple divorced in 2001, and Winslet tied the knot again two years later with director Sam Mendes.

The Emmy winner made a rare comment about her love life in a 2015 WSJ. Magazine interview, gushing about how “proud” she is of keeping her “silence” in this area.
“No one really knows what has happened in my life,” she told the outlet at the time. “No one really knows why my first marriage didn’t last; no one knows why my second didn’t.”
Winslet went on to defend her multiple marriages at the time, saying, “It’s just those are the cards that life dealt me. I didn’t plan on it being that way. And f–k me, it hasn’t been easy.”
