Hollywood star Kate Winslet can certainly be seen as a role model in the corona pandemic: Already last spring, at the beginning of the first wave of infections, she said she wore protective masks and gloves when shopping.
She also disinfected a lot.
Now, however, the 45-year-old British woman is feeling the emotional effects of the pandemic all the more.
She complains of a lack of human contact with family, friends and colleagues.
"My mother died three years ago, so my father now lives alone," said the British woman to the magazine "Bunte".
He is doing well, "but I find it difficult not to see him for so long".
She misses taking her father in her arms.
The same applies to her three siblings, Winslet continues.
She also lacked contact with other people in the film studio.
"You're going back to the team you worked with before the pandemic started and suddenly you're not allowed to touch any of these wonderful people," the actress said.
"I want to touch people again!"
The chances of soon physical contact with her colleagues in Hollywood are bad.
California is currently particularly hard hit by the pandemic.
Because the collapse of the health system in the state was feared, the emergency services in the Los Angeles district recently took a drastic step: Those who have little chance of survival should no longer be driven to the hospital, it said at the beginning of the year.
Winslet became famous with the blockbuster "Titanic".
In 2009 she received an Oscar for her role in the literary film adaptation "The Reader".
At the largely virtual film festival in Toronto in September she will present her new film "Ammonite".
