Mia Threapleton Shares Kate Winslet’s Relatable Advice Ahead of 'The Phoenician Scheme'

Mia Threapleton, daughter of Oscar winner Kate Winslet, is stepping into the spotlight with her first lead film role in Wes Anderson’s 'The Phoenician Scheme'—and she brought along some surprisingly down-to-earth advice from her famous mother.

At the film's New York City premiere recently, Mia Threapleton shared that her mom offered a simple yet practical piece of wisdom: make sure to eat well and cook for yourself during demanding shoots. Winslet encouraged her daughter to stay fueled by eating enough sandwiches and learning how to cook chicken on days off—advice that Mia Threapleton found particularly fitting, especially with Anderson’s now-famous "lunch club" on set, where meals are a big deal.

What is 'The Phoenician Scheme' About?

In 'The Phoenician Scheme', Mia Threapleton stars as Liesl, the estranged daughter of Zsa-Zsa Korda (played by Benicio del Toro), a wealthy aviation and armaments mogul. As the story unfolds, Liesl, a nun-in-training, unexpectedly finds herself at the centre of her father’s empire. The star-studded film also features Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Benedict Cumberbatch, and more.

Mia Threapleton’s Rising Hollywood Career

Mia Threapleton, 24, who previously acted alongside Winslet in 'I Am Ruth' and 'A Little Chaos', said the entire experience of working on 'The Phoenician Scheme' felt surreal. From her initial audition to wrapping production, every moment felt like a milestone. She admitted she didn’t truly believe she had landed the role until filming ended, describing the process as a series of “pinch-me” moments.

Mia Threapleton has chosen a grounded route despite growing up in the spotlight, saying that she has never used social media—a deliberate choice influenced by her mother. She explained that she simply doesn't want the pressure of curating her life online or the distraction of trying to capture every moment.

Now with her breakout role in a Wes Anderson film, Mia Threapleton is carving her own space in Hollywood while staying true to her roots. With her mother’s down-to-earth guidance and a standout performance, she’s proving that talent—and a good sandwich—can take you far.

'The Phoenician Scheme' hits theatres on 30th May.
