IF an Oscar, two Golden Globes and a Bafta aren't enough for KATE WINSLET – she's now been bestowed with another honour.

HUGH HEFNER has offered the British actress a spot on the cover of Playboy with a nude spread inside.

If Kate takes Hugh up on his offer she would follow in the footsteps of MARILYN MONROE, SHARON STONE, PAMELA ANDERSON and fellow Oscar winner CHARLIZE THERON.

The 82-year-old Playboy boss told a newspaper: “There’s no question we would be interested in Kate.

“It’s a competitive market, more than it used to be, so she would be a most welcome addition in our pages.”


Kate has been filmed topless in many of her movies, including Academy Award victors The Reader and Titanic.

But she has vowed to never again appear naked on screen again, for fears of being typecast.

She said: “I don’t want to be known as that actress who gets her kit off.”
