Kate Winslet Shows Minor Injury During Low-Key London Outing Amid Directorial Break

Kate Winslet revealed a minor injury as she stepped out for a low-key outing in London.

The Titanic star, 49, has been busy filming her directorial debut, Goodbye June, since March.

But on Wednesday, she took a well-deserved break as she headed out in the English capital. 

For the occasion, the actress opted for a casual figure in a green knitted cardigan layered over a plain white top and baggy jeans.

She teamed it with blue trainers, a navy Goorin Bros baseball cap, and a beige crossbody bag.

Kate was listening to music on her phone as she was spotted sporting a plaster on her right index finger.

Her outing comes just months after it was revealed Kate was taking the lead behind the camera for the first time for Goodbye June.

The actress was seen filming her directorial debut on the streets of London alongside an all-star cast including Andrea Riseborough, Toni Collette and Timothy Spall.

The Netflix project is described as a contemporary family drama about ‘fractured siblings who must come together under sudden and trying circumstances’.

And it is certainly a family affair for the actress as her 21-year-old son, Joe Anders, whose father is Bond director Sam Mendes, wrote the screenplay.

But Kate – who won plaudits for her role as Lee Miller, the model who became a Second World War photographer, in the 2023 biopic Lee – showed she is not ready to turn her back on acting any time soon, also starring in the production.

She was seen in character wearing a cream wool coat, neutral trousers and jumper, on a set which had been designed to look like the outside of a Cheltenham hospital. Later, she scrutinised the footage and wrapped up warmly in a padded jacket to direct her co-stars.

The mother-of-three previously told Elizabeth Day’s podcast, How To Fail, that people in the industry had encouraged her to direct, saying that it could ‘change the culture’ of male-dominated Hollywood.

‘So many people will say to me on film sets, “Why aren’t you directing?” and I’ll go “no, no, no, please don’t say it. Stop saying it. Why does everyone keep saying it?”,’ Kate said.

‘I know why I haven’t done it: because it’s a very long time, and it’s a huge commitment, and I have always had a family. I had Mia when I was 25 years old, and so there’s just no way I would have ever been able to do it.

‘But the more I’m not doing it now, with the need to change the culture, the more I feel like I’m actually letting down other women by not doing it. I’m really starting to feel that.’

Her children have followed her into the industry. 

Joe starred alongside his mother in Lee, having also appeared in the Oscar-nominated war film 1917, which was directed by his father.

Meanwhile, her daughter Mia Threapleton, 24 – whose father is Kate’s first husband, actor Jim Threapleton – is also making a name for herself as an actress, having won acclaim for her role alongside her mother in the Bafta award-winning domestic drama I Am Ruth.

Kate also has a younger son, 11-year-old Bear, with her third husband Edward Abel Smith, the nephew of Sir Richard Branson.

Goodbye June, which is described as a ‘touching, humorous drama’, also stars Dame Helen Mirren.

It’s set to hit theatres on December 12 before it begins streaming on Netflix on December 24.
