Really Melissa, Leo said that to Kate??? Wow, I just have to say that is the sweetest thing ever……..

“People are going to say you are fat but remember you are gorgeous.”

seeing them at the Golden Globes, it was adorable. i cried when Kate won her second award that night and she was sobbing so hard she could barely talk. she said something about loving Leo for the last 13 years with all her heart and it was so sweet that i almost went into a sugar coma. (sorry i don’t have the quote tonight, i’ll transcribe it in my blog tomorrow.) her love of him proves his goodness to me. that is to say, if some one as amazing as her loves him, he must genuinely be a really great guy.

It’s really sweet to hear that Leo is understanding the weight issue, where so many male celebs don’t. Too bad he’s not my type, or I’d say this would be a great opportunity, to get back to unabashedly fan worshipping him.

He might have me if he grows his hair out, lol.

Leo was quoted in an AP story saying that he has really wanted to perform with KW since Titanic, and that he loved working with her on Revolutionary Road.

I thought that was a classy thing for him to say. They do have white hot chemistry together.

I remember during all those Titanic Interviews. Kate telling the story about how Leo told her something like “people are going to say you are fat, but remember you are gorgeous” or something like that.

I think sometimes as “the fat girl” it becomes your identity and if you veiw fat as a bad thing then it brings your whole opinion of yourself down.
He was telling her to get over the identity of being inferior because she’s a great actress and a gorgeous person.

I didn’t read it as Leo saying that being fat is bad, per se. I read it more as Kate was insecure about seeing herself as being “the fat girl” and therefore “the wrong girl” at auditions and on jobs – and he’s telling her that she needs to get past that mindset.

Remember, on the Titanic set, James Cameron used to call her “Kate Weighs-a-Lot.” Because he is an asshole. But that would totally play on her “oh god I’m fat and ugly and oh god” thing, so it makes sense that Leo would specifically say something to help with the weight-insecurity.

I’m inclined to agree with Christina on this one…maybe especially because of Leo’s proclivity for supermodels.
