Kate Winslet Put On Bra Before Fleeing Fire

Kate Winslet Put On Bra Before Fleeing Fire

You know the old question, "if there was a fire in your home, what would you bring?" Most would answer family photographs, heirlooms or valuable items but for Kate Winslet, it was a bra.

The Oscar-winning actress, who most recently has been interviewed regarding her nude scenes in films, discussed surviving the fire at Richard Branson $70 million home on Necker Island in August last night on The Graham Norton show. She explained, that the whole experience "was like a movie. In disastrous moments you do the strangest things ... I started to put on a bra and thought 'that's going to take too long' so off came the bra on came the T-shirt."

After realizing a bra wouldn't stop the flames, Winslet says she swung into heroic action: "I grabbed the children and I picked up granny."

Now there's a woman you would want around in an emergency.
