Kate Winsletis using her acting chops for a special cause on Red Nose Day.
The Oscar winner, 48, hilariously embodied the feelings of a fed-up parent during a reading of R-rated parenting bookF—,Now There Are Two of Youfor BBC’s Comic Relief’sRed Nose Day, an event that raises money to address homelessness, poverty and mental health around the world.
“Hello children, you really need to go sleep. Right now,” Winslet began her introduction to the profanity-laced best-selling book. “And hello mummies and daddies, tonight’s bedtime story is calledF—, Now There Are Two of You.”
Winslet doesn’t mince words in the video, proudly reading each and every swear word as a red dot with the words “Red Nose Day” blocked her mouth every time she uttered the words. The reading was accompanied with the sketches from the book.
Mansbach applauded the actress for lending her voice to the fun on-of-a-kind reading. “It’s for a great cause,” he said. “And it’s Kate f—— Winslet.”
Winslet, who has three children —Mia Threapleton, whom she shares with ex-husband Jim Threapleton, Joe Alfie Mendes whom she shares with ex-husbandSam Mendesand Bear Blaze whom she shares with husbandEdward Abel Smith— knows the difficulties of managing multiple children at the same time.
She jokingly channeled her inner frustrations as a mother as she concluded her reading of the book, closing it with a loud snap before dropping it onto her lap to end her reading. “Goodnight,” she teasingly said in an exasperated tone before the end credits rolled.
