Carey Mulligan refused to meet Kate Winslet because she was “ashamed” of herself.
The 29-year-old idolises the Titanic star and was mortified when she learnt Kate and her then-husband Sam Mendes had been in the audience at a performance of her 2008 play The Seagull because she didn’t think she had done very well.
She recalled: “Someone came to our dressing-room and said: ‘Oh, my God! Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet are here’. And I was like: ‘Are you kidding?’ And I burst into tears.
“The cast went to do a meet-and-greet with him and I went out the back door. I didn’t want to go near them, I was so ashamed. I… went home and cried.” - BANG Showbiz
