<p>Kate Winslet said she never expected her success after her early years in theatre as &#8220;the fat kid who was pushed to the back&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning star, who picked up a best actress Oscar for her performance in The Reader, learned her trade at a youth theatre group in her hometown of Reading.</p>
<p>Footage of a return visit to the group, called Starmaker, posted on YouTube showed her speaking to its young performers.</p>
<p>She told them her sister got much better parts than her when they were younger, adding: &#8220;I was one of the ones who didn&#8217;t really get the main parts&#8221;.</p>
<p>In another clip, she described herself as &#8220;the fat kid who was pushed to the back and never got the leading parts&#8221;.</p>
<p>Kate added: &#8220;I was never the one who would get picked to go for the film auditions because I was always a bit overweight and always looked a bit wrong and had big feet&#8221;.</p>
<p>Press attention early on in her career often focused on her weight and the star has spoken out in the past about Hollywood&#8217;s obsession with skinny actresses.</p>
