Kate Winslet on co-star Michael Fassbender: 'I felt I had to look after him'

Kate Winslet has admitted she did her best to fatten up Michael Fassbender on the set of the Steve Jobs biopic when she thought he was getting too skinny.

The British actress, who won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress in the flick, revealed she was a “mother hen” to the star – helping him relax off set.

“I actually felt as though I had to look after him a little because he was so immersed and focused on the role that I would sort of watch him getting thinner and thinner,” she told People magazine.

“It was sort of a stress thing with him. I would keep trying to push chips in the way and try to arrange weekends away for him to go and relax and eat steaks.”

However, Michael didn’t seem to mind Kate taking the reigns on set as he gushed about the 40-year-old on the awards red carpet before the ceremony.

“She’s very generous and also a leader. She’s one of those born leaders always making sure all the time that everyone is doing well and getting enough rest,” he said.

The 38-year-old continued to praise the Academy Award winner – revealing the pair have a similar approach to their acting styles and preparation methods.

“She’s a class act. I love her. She’s so much fun. She’s brilliant,” he admitted.

“But both of us have similar styles in terms of preparing and work. We prepare a lot, then on the day we have fun with it.”
