Gorgeous Kate Beckinsale looked stunning at the premiere of "Click" on
Wednesday night in Westwood. Not surprising, as the 32-year-old Brit is one of
the most beautiful women in the world.
What does surprise is seeing her years older in the film comedy (that also
stars Adam Sandler as her husband); it's a bit disconcerting, and it really
freaked her out a bit, too.
"The gracefully aged thing was a big shocker. I thought that I was going to
handle it much better than I really did," Beckinsale grimaced earlier at a press
conference. "With the aging thing, I do think that at some point everyone turns
into their mother or their father. But it's just not normally [happening in one
sitting] from morning to afternoon!
"It is a moment of existential panic, because you sit there for six whole
hours and it's kind of boring and it goes on and on and on and at the end of it
you look so much worse than you did when you sit down. They modeled my hairstyle
on the hairstyle that my mother wore at my wedding. So the whole thing was
scary. Really scary!"
Doing a comedy also scared the vivacious actress, who hasn't done much in the
way of funny films for much of her career. Known more for her roles in serious
movies like "The Aviator," and "Pearl Harbor" and for action-adventure fantasies
like "Underworld" and "Van Helsing," comedy was a genre that she shied away
from.
