Melanie Lynskey made her debut in the post-apocalyptic HBO drama series The Last of Us on February 5. She plays Kathleen, a ruthlessly intelligent revolutionary leader and warlord. Lynskey was forced to defend her choice when America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry took to social media to criticize her performance. Commenting on a photo from Lynskey's InStyle cover shoot below, the model said, "Her body is a testament to a life of luxury...not a post-apocalyptic warlord." Where's Linda Hamilton when you need her?

Lynskey answered quickly. “First of all, this is a photo from my InStyle cover shoot, not a still from the HBO series The Last Of Us. And I play the person who meticulously planned and carried out the fall of Phaedra. I'm supposed to be SMART lady.” I don't have to be strong. That's what minions are for." He then explained that he wanted Kathleen to be "feminine and quiet" and that everything we were told was "weak." Lynskey concluded by noting that the most exciting part of his job was subverting expectations, and made it clear that Curry's comments were not an offence.

But the much-discussed plot caused waves of embarrassment in young Winslet. In a poignant final scene, Jack lets go of the floating door they use as a life raft to keep Rose alive, but fans have always wondered if there wasn't enough room for both of them? Tabloids and Venom fans joked that Winslet's excess weight was the reason. "Obviously I was overweight," Winslet said during an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. "Why were you so mean to me? You were so bad. I wasn't even fat."

As a woman in her forties, Winslet looks back sensitively at her younger self, struggling with her changed body and newfound fame. If she could go back and address the journalists who criticize her, she would say, 'Don't you dare treat me like that. I'm a young woman, my body is changing, I'm discovering I'm deeply insecure, I'm terrified, don't make it worse than it is." Winslet described the media's treatment of her as appalling and even " borderline offensive".
