The 'Titanic' beauty admits she finds it frustrating when people edit photos to look a certain way and has banned a company from retouching her advert campaign as she feels she has a "responsibility to the younger generation of women".

She told E! News: "I can only ever speak for myself and I can only ever do things that are important to me and it's a hope that other people might follow suit but it does feel important to me because I do think we have a responsibility to the younger generation of women.

"I think they do look to magazines, I think they do look to women who have been successful in their chosen careers and they want people to look up to, and I would always want to be telling the truth about who I am to that generation because they've got to have strong leaders. We're all responsible for raising strong young women, so these are things that are important to me."

And the 40-year-old star previously insisted she would rather be told she looks "older than stoned".

She said: "I have wrinkles here, which are very evident. And I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, 'You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?'

"I'd rather be the woman they're saying 'She's looking older' about than 'She's looking stoned.'"
