Kate Winslet Sick on "Revolutionary Road" Set
January 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
I always wondered how actors fared while filming really emotional scenes, especially doing it day in and day out. Seems like it would really take a toll on you. According to Kate Winslet, it does.
The actress says she became so emotional filming scenes for her new movie "Revolutionary Road" that she threw up.
Winslet stars as a depressed housewife opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the film, about a young couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb in the 1950s.
A scene in which Winslet’s character phones her children before taking a life-changing step was so heart-wrenching to shoot, she actually became physically sick.
She tells British Elle magazine, "I just kept thinking, ‘She’s a mother to a girl and boy almost identical ages to my own.’ It got to me. There was only so much my body could take from all that churned up emotion, and I threw up."
