Melanie Lynskey<\/strong><\/a> says the loss of her friendship with Kate Winslet<\/strong><\/a> was more painful than some of her romantic relationship break-ups.<\/p>\n The actresses became close pals as teenagers when they worked on 1994 movie \u2018Heavenly Creatures\u2019 together but Melanie, 45, has revealed the pair drifted apart in the years afterwards and she watched from the sidelines as her former friend became one of the most famous women in the world.<\/p>\n Speaking on Josh Horowitz\u2019s \u2018Happy Sad Confused\u2019 podcast, Melanie insisted there was no drama between them but it was still painful to lose touch. She explained: \u201cWhen I lost touch with Kate, it was more heartbreaking than some break-ups that I\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was so painful and it wasn\u2019t like anything happened, it\u2019s just she became a gigantic, international movie star and she didn\u2019t have a lot of time and then, suddenly, she\u2019d be in Los Angeles and not have time \u2026 It happens in relationships. People kind of drift apart, but that was so painful for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Melanie went on to reveal she forged a friendship with another actor while working on a project together \u2013 and she was shocked when her new pal told her the friendship was over as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.<\/p>\n The \u2018Yellowjackets\u2019 star said: \u201cI did this movie with this actor and when we were finished I said: \u2018Oh my gosh, I\u2019m just so happy that I met you and we have this friendship\u2019 and she said: \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m not friends with actors. I don\u2019t stay friends with actors\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I was just like: \u2018What?\u2019 I was so shocked by it \u2026 \u2018She was] someone who had been working longer than me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Melanie added that she now tries not to take it personally when she loses friends, saying: \u201cI was so sensitive. I was always so injured by losing these great loves I was having \u2026 It got easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
