The âOceanâs 8â star also had to hear a lot of nasty remarks about her looks in her teenage years after she went touring with her German opera-singing mother. She said: "I'd come back from Europe and I looked like a clown compared to the cool way the other students looked and dressed. So I got my ass whooped a little bit." The âTitanicâ actress is proud of her feminine curves today but kids often picked on her for her weight. Even her drama teacher told Kate that she would have to settle for âfat girlâ roles. She recalled: âWhen I was younger, when I was 14, I was told by a drama teacher that I might do OK if I was happy to settle for the fat girl parts.â
