Back when Kate Winslet was 18 years old, she starred in the stage production of What the Butler Saw. And one night, he almost saw too much.
What did he see? The Oscar winner told Graham Norton there is a moment in the show when she has to go behind a curtain and take all of her clothes off. Then she lies down on a bed with a white sheet. When she goes horizontal, she feels the urge to poop.
She clenches her butt, hoping that nothing will come out. But she feels like something did. Since she is in full view of the audience because it is a theatre in the round, she scrunches the sheet around her so that no one will be none the wiser.
When she stands up, Winslet still feels the need to go and feels like if she moves the wrong way, there will be crap all over the floor. Finally, she runs off stage, gets to her dressing room, finds out nothing came out of her, gets to the bathroom just in time, and it was like gunfire.
And that is the shittiest thing to happen to a stage actor in the history of theater.
