Kate Winslet discusses the 'absurd' sex scenes in raunchy new series The Regime and reveals how one co-star 'scared the sh** out of her'


The actress, 48, spoke about her character Elena Vernham's raunchy escapades with Corporal Herbert Zubak (Matthias Schoenaerts) after revealing cast and crew had to be sent off set.

Critics have released their initial reviews of The Regime, praising the actress's ability to channel the spirit of a bevy of notorious leaders, including China's Xi Jinping, echoes of North Korea's Kim Jong Un, and former US President Donald Trump. 'Winslet, equipped with a lisping, upper-crust accent and gamely leading deranged musical numbers, pivots fluidly from hysterical hypochondriac to tyrannical alpha, hopeless romantic to malignant narcissist,' Time said of the actresses performance. In a review, Rolling Stone described Elena's behaviour as having 'some echoes' of Putin - specifically after she invades a neighbouring country that was once hers, as well as Trump, writing, 'she is erratic, subject to bizarre whims, and largely disconnected from reality.'
