KATE WINSLET has opened up about her steamy sex scene with Idris Elba for their new film The Mountain Between Us, revealing he made a very odd request.
The actress was speaking on The Graham Norton Show when she revealed how she stripped completely naked for the romp but was surprised when her co-star asked her to keep one particular item of clothing on.
The blonde beauty revealed that he requested she wear socks for the racy scenes, claiming he has a foot fetish.
Kate told chat show host Graham about Idris' unusual tastes as she explained that director Hany Abu-Assad had never shot a love scene before.
"I had to get quite bossy," she explained. "I've done quite a lot of these scenes before and poor Hany was really quite nervous and had an extensive shot list and I thought, 'We are never going to get this done.'
"Idris was a bit nervous too and everything was moving a bit slowly so I just said, 'Okay boys, this is what we are going to do…' and we just got on with it."
Going into detail, the 42-year-old added: "We got naked but Idris asked me to keep my socks on - I thought he didn't like feet but, it is the opposite, Idris loves feet."
Blushing, Idris confirmed it was true, commenting: "I've just got a bit of a thing."
Kate went on to reveal that she hadn't always planned on becoming an actor, noting: "I thought about being a hairdresser and once tried cutting my own hair with paper scissors which wasn't a great idea.
"When I was bit older an old family friend agreed to me doing his hair and I inadvertently cut off a bit of his ear!
"It was just a little nick. It was really, really small but I remember it falling to the ground. It turned out to be his claim to fame! Lucky man!"
