When Kate Winslet revealed Idris Elba has foot fetish
Los Angeles, Aug 7
Actress Kate Winslet once spoke about how English actor Idris Elba has a huge feet fetish. The two worked together in 'The Mountain Between Us', and were presented with the challenge of performing a love scene, something which the film's director had never dealt with.
An old video of the actress from 'The Graham Norton Show', has resurfaced on the Internet, and it shows her recollecting the experience of shooting the intimate scene from 'The Mountain Between Us'.
In the video, the show host asked the actress, "Director had never directed a love scene, is this right?".
Responding to the same, the actress said, "Yeah, that's true. I'm afraid I had to get quite bossy. I've done a few of these kinds of scenes before, and so we get there, and our director, he's such a lovely man, and he was really quite nervous, and he had an extensive shot list, and I'm thinking, 'Oh, my God, we are absolutely never going to get all this done. What kind of scene is this, anyway? There's, like, 25 shots'. And Idris was a little bit nervous".
She further mentioned, "So, everything was moving quite slowly, and I'm like, 'Right, look, Okay, we need to really start filming this. What's with all this kind of chat? And the director said, 'Oh, actually, I'm really kind of nervous".
"I really haven't shot anything like this before at all. And Idris said, 'No, and I haven't done much of it either'. I went, 'Okay, let's put the camera over there, and we're going to do this, and we're going to do that'. And then Idris said, 'Keep your socks on'. And I'm like, 'Keep my socks on? Everything else is off. What's with the socks?' He said, 'No, I've got a foot thing", she added.

Honestly, good for Kate for taking charge. In Bollywood, directors would never let an actress boss them around like that. Refreshing to see this dynamic!
The socks detail is killing me 😂 Idris Elba is a legend for keeping it real on set. Kate's reaction is priceless too.
I find it interesting how Hollywood actors openly discuss such things on talk shows. Back home, such conversations would be considered too awkward for public consumption. Different cultures, I guess!
Kate Winslet is a true professional. Love how she handled the situation with grace and humour. And Idris with his foot fetish—what a character! 😄
Respect to Kate for being the experienced one and guiding the scene. The director must have been relieved to have her on set. Brilliant storytelling!
The fact that he kept his socks on during the whole scene is sending me 😂😂 Idris is so unapologetic about his preferences, love that confidence!
