Having put on an array of foreign accents in her award-winning career, British actress Kate Winslet says she really wants to play an English character, adding it would be “the ultimate challenge”.
The Titanic star has pretended to be American, Australian, Polish-Armenian and in her latest film, crime thriller Triple 9, a Russian-Israeli mafia boss.
“My M.O. (modus operandi) is just keep doing the unexpected. Although I do also keep trying to play an English person but that just doesn’t keep happening for me at the moment,” Winslet told Reuters in an interview.
“That would be the ultimate challenge and then I’d have no dialect coach at all. No one to have my back and I would be all by myself and probably more terrified than ever before. Wouldn’t that be novel?”
Winslet plays the bejeweled and designer-clad Irina Vlaslov in action-packed Triple 9 about corrupt police and the criminal underworld — a role she said “felt very out of my comfort zone”.
“I don’t know anyone like this woman. I didn’t like her. I didn’t empathize with her. I wanted that challenge of playing a character who really felt like a character,” she said.
