Sometimes real life is crazier than fiction, and Kate Winslet found that out first-hand when she and her family were almost victims of a house fire.
Last week, the “Titanic” babe, her boyfriend Louis Dowler, and her kids Mia and Joe were at Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island home when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.
Winslet told press, "I will never forget Richard placing his arms around both my children as we were watching the flames, and saying, 'At the end of the day, what you realize is that all that matters is the people that you love. Everything else is just stuff. And none of that stuff matters.'"
Kate added, "I'm just glad that everyone is safe. And this easily could not have been the case."
