Kate Winslet has revealed that she isn't trying to get back in shape after welcoming her third child, son Bear Blaze.

The actress explained that she feels a sense of responsibility to other women, and doesn't want to set impossible expectations.

She told Harper's Bazaar: "There's a big part of me-now, more than ever before-that feels a sense of responsibility for how other women view themselves.

"Take having the baby, for instance. Have I actively been on a diet to lose my baby weight? No, I haven't. I genuinely bloody haven't. I so didn't want to be one of those, 'Oh, wow, she's back in shape after 12 weeks' women. When I read things like that I just think, oh, for f***'s sake, that's actually impossible.

"Life is just too short to be spending time focusing on things like that. I want to keep my health and my sanity and be well fed and happy. I was nowhere near my pre-pregnancy shape when Bear was 12 weeks old. And you know what? My body will never go back to what it was, and I wouldn't expect it to after three babies."
