The world couldn't love Kate Winslet anymore than it already does  — well, until now. The Hollywood superstar has made hearts melt by telling a young budding interviewer not to be scared.

The young reporter was interviewing Winslet as part of her promotional tour for Avatar: The Way of Water for German TV network ZDF and says in the footage: “Um, it’s my first time.”

Winslet quickly reassures her: “This is your first time doing it? OK, well guess what? When we do this interview, it’s going to be the most amazing interview ever.

“And do you know why? Because we’ve decided that it’s going to be. So, we’ve decided right now, me and you, that this is going to be a really fantastic interview.”

She continues: “And you can ask me anything that you want, and you don’t have to be scared. Everything is going to be amazing. OK? You’ve got this. OK, let’s do it!”

Journalist Liv Marks shared the video on Twitter and wrote: “Kate Winslet reassuring this young girl that her interview will be amazing is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.

“Junkets can be really nerve wracking. Words of encouragement and kindness like this can go such a long way.”

Followers commented: "In another life, Kate Winslet would be the most amazing teacher."

Another added: "She always comes across as such a lovely person."

A third remarked: "I love you Kate. This touched my broken cynical heart."
