“Kate Rocknroll” doesn’t exactly exude the same Hollywood grace, elegance and charm as “Kate Winslet.”
Luckily, Winslet has no plans of changing her last name, despite marrying Richard Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll last year.
“I was never going to change my name to Rocknroll,” Winslet said in an interview with The Telegraph.
“I’ve never changed my name to anything, so I didn’t see a reason to start now.”
The “Revolutionary Road” actress, who has been married twice before to British directors Sam Mendes and Jim Threapleton, says she has always wanted to keep her famous last name.
“I quite like Kate Winslet; in fact, I think it’s very flashy,” she told the newspaper.
“I’m proud of my name because I’m one of three girls, and we have one boy in our family. So, essentially the only person who is going to carry the name along is my brother, and he doesn’t have any children at the moment.”
Well, someone in her family will get the rockin’ last name – the Oscar winner is expected to welcome a baby with Rocknroll, 34, this year.
