Kate Winslet Reveals Idris Elba's Foot Fetish During Love Scene
Kate Winslet and Idris Elba are famous actors.
A long time ago, they made a movie together called 'The Mountain Between Us.'
In that movie, they had to film a romantic love scene.
The person directing the movie had never filmed a love scene before and was very nervous.
Kate had filmed scenes like this before, so she helped take charge and told everyone what to do.
Idris was also a little nervous during the filming.
Right before the scene, Idris asked Kate to keep her socks on.
When Kate asked why, since 'everything else is off,' Idris said he has a 'foot thing.'
Kate told this funny story on a TV show called 'The Graham Norton Show.'
An old video of Kate telling this story has recently become popular on the internet again.
A resurfaced old video shows Kate Winslet on 'The Graham Norton Show' recalling her 'The Mountain Between Us' love scene with Idris Elba.
Winslet said the film's director had never directed a love scene before and was nervous, with an extensive shot list of about 25 shots.
Winslet said she 'had to get quite bossy' to get the slow-moving scene underway.
She said she had done this kind of scene before, while Elba said he 'hadn't done much of it either.'
During the scene, Elba asked Winslet to 'keep your socks on,' explaining he has a 'foot thing.'
