Kate Winslet is like a "wife and mother" to Leonardo DiCaprio. The 33-year-old actress - who starred alongside Leonardo in 1997 disaster movie "Titanic" and reunites with him in new film "Revolutionary Road" - claims the pair are so close they are like an old married couple.

In a joint interview, Kate, who was inspecting Leonardo's cut nose, said: "You've scratched the top of your nose! Oh my God, look at me fussing over your face. I've literally turned into a combination of your mother, your sister, and, I don't know what, your wife!"

Kate Winslet says stripping naked in her new movie took her to the "brink." The British beauty - who bares all in post-war drama "The Reader" - found playing a former concentration camp guard in the film physically and emotionally draining.

She said: "It really took me to the brink in many ways. To bring my character Hanna Schmitz to life was an absolutely enormous challenge and a huge responsibility as well, because it's a much-loved piece of German literature. Many people have differing opinions of Hanna Schmitz - they love her, they loathe her."

Kate Winslet is happy being "imperfect." "The Reader" actress - who recently appeared in a computer-improved sexy Vanity Fair magazine shoot - is finally comfortable with the way she looks and her curvaceous figure.

She said: "I'm happy with who I am. I have grown more comfortable in my own skin for all its marks and scars and imperfections."

Mark Ruffalo's brother Scott is in intensive care after being shot. Scott, 39, is said to be "clinging to life" in intensive care after being shot in the head in Beverley Hills, California, on Monday.

A spokesperson said Mark and the rest of the Ruffalo family were at Scott's bedside, adding: "The family are being very supportive of each other during this tragedy."
