Kate Winslet on Goodbye June

Kate Winslet spoke at length about the upcoming film Goodbye June on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. After Jon prepared the screenplay, Winslet promised her son she would “produce it” and “play the character of Julia”.

“I knew that we were in a position to find a director. And I suddenly couldn't let it go. I said to him, ‘Look, I would love to direct it because when you give it to a director, it becomes theirs.’ I didn't want that for him,” Winslet explained, as per People magazine.

So, Winslet assumed the director’s role to bring her son’s creation to life. “He happens to be very, very smart about film, and having him there with me every day was just fantastic,” she told Jimmy Kimmel.

Winslet said she and her son learned “different things about one another” while working on the movie.
