Kate Winslet is scared of a seemingly harmless animal.
Winslet appeared on The Late Show and told host Stephen Colbert: “I’m honestly not brilliant with cows.”
She explained: “No, no, no listen, here’s the thing. Someone said to me, ‘Oh you’ve got to learn how to read a field of cows, you have, you’ve got to be careful because if they turn, they’ve gone.’”
The Titanic alum shared the advice she’s received about fields of cows, saying if you “their tails are swishin’ and they’re flickin’ like that and there’s flies,” it means they’re in a bad mood. “They might charge you.”
She shared that she goes “hiking all the time,” and has to go “through fields of cows.”
“I have decided that they are going to stampede me to the ground,” she remarked, prompting the host to ask if something like that has ever happened.
The Lee star then recalled that cows once chased her and her mom.
“They were slowly Bo-Peeping it and then they did speed up, really, truly,” Kate Winslet recalled. “Borderline [a] couple of gallopers, I’d say. However, there are quite a lot of stories in England about people having very nasty run-ins with cows. Very real ones. So I am extremely wary of a field of cows.”
