Melbourne, Dec 21: When it comes to her married life, British beauty Kate Winslet believes that one of the most essential ingredients that strengthens the bond between husband and wife, is a good sense of humour.
The 'Titanic' star insists that along with all the other things that a couple need to share, seeing the funny side of things, and being able to laugh together is very important in making a relationship last.
“Being married you have to have a good sense of humor! It's a very important part of my life, and my marriage,” Moviehole quoted her, as saying.
“For example, my husband is doing a play on Broadway, so we have been in New York recently, and in our apartment we had a situation where we had to trap some mice - they were squeaking and we were laughing. It was quite hysterical really. We make each other laugh all the time,” Winslet added.
The actress, who plays a contemporary British woman for the first time in the new romantic comedy 'The Holiday', admitted that she had been “terrified” by the role, for she didn't have anything to “hide behind”, as she was used to doing when playing characters in period films.
“Terrified. Honestly, terrified. I’ve never played a contemporary English woman. The closest I’ve come is that I did a little film right after Titanic called Hideous Kinky that was set in the late 60's. It was really scary that I didn’t have anything to hide behind. I’m used to playing character parts, being somebody else entirely, and erasing all shred of myself in order to play a part,” she said.
