Kate Winslet reassured a first-time interviewer and young reporter that they would have an "amazing" interview during a press junket appearance for "Avatar: The Way of Water."

The actor, who plays the water-based Metkayina clan's matriarch Ronal, sat down with a reporter from the German TV network ZDF. The reporter in question, named Martha, is a "kinderreporterin," or child reporter.

In a clip uploaded to the @zdflogo account, which represents the network's children's vertical, Martha tells Winslet that it was her first time doing an interview.

"This is your first time doing it?" Winslet replied, looking attentive and leaning towards the reporter off-screen. "Okay, well guess what? When we do this interview, it's gonna be the most amazing interview ever. And do you know why? Because we've decided that it is going to be. So we've decided right now, me and you, this is gonna be a really fantastic interview."

"Okay," Martha replied, off camera.

"And you can ask me anything you want, and you don't have to be scared," Winslet continued. "Everything's gonna be amazing. Okay? You got this."

The clip circulated on Twitter after Twitter user @soyszenrita uploaded it, and has been viewed over 92,000 times on the platform. On Instagram, the ZDF upload has amassed over 15,000 likes.

In the interview, conducted in English and later dubbed over in German, Martha and Winslet spoke about when Winslet decided to pursue acting, what it's like to have to pretend to vomit during a scene, and Winslet's love of cooking. At the end, the pair took a selfie together.

There have been other standout moments during Winslet's press tour for the film, including when she told Total Film Magazine ahead of its release that she thought that she was "dead" after holding her breath for over seven minutes on set, breaking Tom Cruise's six-minute record in the process.
