Known for iconic performances in Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Revolutionary Road, Kate Winslet has been nominated for an Academy Award seven times. She won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2008 for her role in The Reader.

With Goodbye June, Kate Winslet is taking on an exciting new challenge, and fans can’t wait to see how she brings this Netflix movie to life.

Earlier, Kate recently revealed on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” that her biggest fear is… cows!

“I’m honestly not great with cows,” Kate confessed to host Stephen Colbert. She explained that someone once told her to “read” a field of cows, meaning to watch for signs of agitation, like swishing tails and flicking ears.

“If they turn, oof, they’ve gone,” she recalled being warned. “They might charge you.”

This warning has stuck with Kate Winslet, who loves to go hiking. “I have decided that they are going to stampede me to the ground,” she admitted. And it’s not just a silly fear.
