Kate Winslet revealed the bizarre request Eminem had for her when she hosted SNL in October 2004. “This is a story I’ve never, never told,” Winslet said on The Graham Norton Show about the “Lose Yourself” singer, who was the musical guest for the episode. “Eminem asked me to shave his bottom,” she said. Norton asked if it was with a handheld razor, to which Winslet said, “Well, he did. He said, ‘Will you shave my butt?’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t do personal grooming.’ Like what? I’m not gonna go with a Bic and get your crack love. Honestly!” Winslet also explained that it was “absolutely terrifying” to host the show because she only had 24 hours to prepare her SNL monologue—which included a song and tap dance number—as she was in the middle of a press tour for Finding Neverland. Additionally, Winslet was nervous as the infamous lip-syncing incident, in which Ashlee Simpson used a prerecorded track for her musical guest performance, had happened the week prior. Simpson spoke about the incident in 2024 on the Broad Ideas with Rachel Bilson & Olivia Allen podcast, explaining that she had “two nodules beating against each other” and couldn’t perform at the time, but felt pressured by higher-ups to lip-sync.
