An actress like her mother, she got her big break performing alongside Kate in the Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth<\/em>, where the pair played mother and daughter. Now she\u2019s starring in the New Wes Anderson film, The Phoenician Scheme, as Sister Liesl, alongside Michael Cera, Scarlet Johansson and Tom Hanks.<\/p>\n Mia told the Mail that she wasn\u2019t introduced to acting when she was young. ‘I\u00a0feel like it’s a misconception about me, considering who my mother is, that I grew up going to set or that I would know anything about this world because of her and what she does,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n \u2018That is not the case at all. I genuinely can count on not even two hands the amount of times I went to set as a kid. There were never scripts lying around the house.\u2019<\/p>\n Mia, who is 24, goes by her father\u2019s surname. He is the film director Jim Threapleton, known for Extraordinary Rendition and The Mummy. She also won the Breakout Artist Award during the Newport Beach Film Festival UK & IE Honours 2025 earlier this year, and is currently starring in the popular Apple TV+ series The Buccaneers, of based on the Edith Wharton novel.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/imago811295442-scaled-e1747225749881.jpg” alt=”Blake Lively and Taylor Swift” title_text=”Mia Threapleton” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] A synopsis for the upcoming series reads: ‘Sent to secure husbands and titles, young American women explode into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s, kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash.’<\/p>\n In 2021, Mia\u2019s Oscar-winning mother, star of Titanic<\/em> and Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind<\/em>, shared that her daughter had landed her first film during an ITV’s Lorraine interview. She said since she went by her father\u2019s surname, she was hired just on her merit.<\/p>\n \u2018So she slipped under the radar and the people who cast her had absolutely no idea that she was my daughter … that was important for her self-esteem, of course,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n It also wasn\u2019t a total surprise that her daughter was keen to become an actor. In the same interview, she added that she actually \u2018suspected\u2019 it would happen.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”] ‘This isn\u2019t the first time Mia has spoken about her upbringing, with her telling Variety<\/em>: ‘I never actually spent much time around sets that my mum was working on. It was always a special treat. It\u2019s a very different experience when it is happening to you, and not just something I was getting to observe from time to time.<\/p>\n ‘I really understand why my mum has always impressed on us how hard the work is. She is right! And I loved every second of it.’<\/p>\n Winslet welcomed her daughter Mia in 2000. Three years later she had her son her son Joe Alfie Mendes with ex-husband\u00a0Sam Mendes, and in 2013 had her second son, Bear Blaze with husband\u00a0Edward Abel Smith.<\/p>\n In 2022, she shared that Mia and Joe\u2019s favourite film of hers was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. \u2018So regularly, I’ll hear from someone’s bedroom, Beck blasting. I’ll be like, ‘That’s Eternal Sunshine’. So that’s kind of amazing,\u2019 she told People<\/em>.<\/p>\n Winslet has been impressed about her daughter\u2019s acting abilities too. Speaking on BBC One’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg<\/em>, she shared that she was ‘blown away’ by Mia’s performance in I am Ruth<\/em>, adding that Mia \u2018didn’t need my help at all\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018Sometimes I could introduce her to a technical trick here and there,\u2019 she went on. \u2018Just little things I picked up along the way, like changing an eye line … Little things like that, that no one teaches you. And she appreciated that stuff.\u2019<\/p>\n I am Ruth<\/em> went on to win a TV BAFTA for best single drama in 2023, while Winslet also won the best leading actress award for her performance.<\/p>\n The family might birth more actors it seems too. During a 2021 appearance on\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!,\u00a0Winslet shared that her then seven-year-old Bear shared he wanted to be an \u2018actress\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018The other day my son was very funny. He turned to me and said, \u201cMum, I’ve got a confession to make\u2019. He said, \u201cI’m just gonna come out with it. I’m just gonna say it\u201d,\u2019 she said.\u2018He looks at me and says, \u201cI want to be an actress\u201d,\u2019 to which she and Kimmel burst out laughing.<\/p>\n She went on to say her son did not find her reaction amusing and stressed: \u2018It’s not funny, I want to be an actress.
