Academy Award winner Kate Winslet dotes on her daughter Mia Threapleton as a real-life mother-daughter duo will now be seen on screen, in the new Channel 4 drama, “I’m Ruth.”
Speaking to BBC One’s Laura Kuenssberg, Winslet admitted she was blown away by Mia’s performance, and was a proud mother, considering her daughter hardly needed her help to give her best on screen. Here’s what Winslet had to say, and what we know about Mia Threapleton.

‘I am Ruth’ is a feature film which will be broadcast on Channel 4, and features Winslet as the mother of her real-life daughter, 22-year-old Mia Threapleton. In the film, Mia plays the role of a teenager whose mental health begins to unravel when she is caught up in the pressures of social media.
“I am Ruth” will be broadcast on Channel 4 on Thursday, December 8, and was written by Winslet herself, alongside BAFTA award winner Dominic Savage. Mia plays 17-year-old Freya who is shown putting herself aside when she is caught up in the destructive waves of social media.
Since Winslet has long kept her children off social media, she spoke to the BBC about the same, saying it’s “scary for parents because we don’t know what’s out there.”
He went on to say, “We don’t really know what’s going on in their friendship group anymore because most of it is actually built on the phone, inside the phone. It’s this world that you can dig deeper and deeper into, and it gets darker and more complicated and a lot harder for kids to navigate. I think because people, young kids, have phones at an earlier age, they’re able to access things that they’re not emotionally equipped or sophisticated enough to know how to process.”
Winslet also said the decision to focus the film on children’s mental health was made after detailed discussions with Savage, in which they brainstormed what parents should do “when they can clearly see there’s a problem”.

If you look at Winslet and Mia, you’ll know they’re instantly connected, but since Mia has a different last name, she quietly starts acting without anyone knowing who she is, to a large extent.
In 2021, Winslet spoke to Lorraine Kelly, saying, “[She’s] 20 and acting. He is now going to the Czech Republic to start a TV series there.”
When asked if she knew her daughter wanted to act, the 47-year-old star replied, “I think I know [it] coming, I always suspected. And then a few years ago he turned around and said, ‘I want to try it.'”
With a different last name, Winslet also said that Threapleton’s Hollywood connections slipped under the radar and she landed her first role on her own. In 2020, he also starred in the movie, “Shadows.” The “Titanic” star said, “What’s interesting about him is that he has a different last name so he slips under the radar and the people who send him don’t know he’s my son and that’s important for his self-esteem, of course. .”
Working together was a joy for both of them, and Winslet said, “…We had the added bonus of knowing how to push each other’s buttons, which I can tell you we did very well and definitely lent that resource significantly when we were filming. . “
Mia Threapleton Killed Mom!

According to People, Winslet was in awe of her daughter, allegedly saying, “Actually, I’m really fascinated by her. I mean, she doesn’t need my help at all.”
Winslet continued: “Sometimes I can introduce her to a technical trick here and there. Just little things that I’ve picked up along the way, like changing eye lines … Little things like that, that nobody teaches you. And she appreciates that. “
That said, when it comes to acting, it’s clear Mia has her mom’s genes and the proud mom admits her daughter will say, “I’m good,” and try it herself. “And there were times when I would say, ‘Can I just have one…’, only to get a ‘No, no, no, I’m good,’ from him.”
In fact, as Winslet admitted to ITV’s Lorraine, Mia even asked her to “shut up”. The mother of three who shares Mia with her first husband Jim Threapleton says, “As far as performance, she doesn’t need me at all,” she said. “There were even moments where he would look at me and say, ‘Shut up Mom, let me do it!'”
Like mother, like daughter, right?
