A source on the set of Kate Beckinsale’s new film has been quoted as saying “Kate has a terrible self-image. She thinks she is fat and she is always complaining how certain outfits make her bottom look big. Of course, the reality is that she has the most amazing body. The script called for her character to be filmed nude in a shower, focusing in on her bottom and thighs. Kate insisted on a double being hired. She was quite open on the set about not liking her body and said she particularly loathed her bottom and was not comfortable baring it.”
If this story is true, this is sad state of affairs for her children, but also that somone in her position could have a low self-image to the point of making it known her body is unfit. The problem is that even though I obviously don’t know Kate B. personally, her public image does seem like she would be one of those beautiful women who never actually feels beautiful. And the my vapid reason for saying this is because her image when she is in public looks really put together, but that I didn’t try to hard, but I really tried very hard.

Very sad — yet this is how this type of distortion gets perpetuated …
