Kate Beckinsale strolled though LA with her daughter Lily and her adorable stuffed dog in tow. Even though this looks like a pretty standard mother-daughter moment, it can't be easy to be the kid of a celebrity. Lucky for Lily, when Kate is picking roles she does her best to save her daughter from embarrassment. While promoting Whiteout at Comic-Con, Kate was asked about passing on a role as a Bond girl. She said,
"I do feel like I've embarrassed my daughter enough, and notice you always have to be in your underwear at some point in a James Bond film. I'm becoming elderly, for that sort of thing. Maybe not me so much, but I think once the child gets into third grade…that was the whole question with Wonder Woman, because it's still essentially underwear. So I don't know, but…you never know."
It's definitely endearing to hear about celebrities letting their children help them pick their projects. As for looking elderly, we're pretty sure Kate could slip into any risque costume choice and still look fantastic.
ummmm ok
1I think it's good she thinks of her daughter when it comes to deciding on what movie role she is going to do.
2Kate is NOWHERE near elderly! She seems like such a cool mom too.
3thats what I thought musiclvr - which reminded me about matt damon when he said that too..
4Kate is so beautiful but I've always heard that there was a little cosmetic surgery involved.
5I didnt know matt damon said that too....that's cool....I think it would be neat to be a celebrity's daughter or niece.
6are you kidding me? too old to be a Bond girl? if she can't look good in her underwear..that is just sad especially since she gets naked for her Underworld movies.
7oh btw tatti, I LOVE your icon! That movie is so good and I cry everytime I watch it lol.
8Shes gorgeous! I wish I looked as good as her.
9I don't remember her naked in Underworld, but then again, I didn't really watch them all the way through.
And she would be a fabulous bond girl!
10musiclvr - thanks! I love the Notebook...I hope my love life turns out like theirs
But yea, Matt said something similar like him choosing his roles to make sure it doesn't affect his kids.
11uhm, she's pretty and everything but she's another one that annoys the cr@p out of me...
12Even though she looks fantatic, it's nice to see that she really cares about her kids.
13It is good that she thinks of her kids, but Wonder Woman doesn't sound scandalous to me.
Part of me wonders if she doesn't want her daughter to see what a person has to go through to wear skimpy clothes on camera...aka eat very little, be very strict with what you eat, work out everyday, etc.
I am sure it would be hard to say, "Don't you obsess about your weight, but Mommy has to for the next 5 months because I have to be in hot pants."
14It was in Underworld Evolution that she got naked, not the first one, there was a sex scene with her and Scott Speedman.
I love Kate so I wish she would be Wonder Woman! Besides she may be in underwear but at least she is a semi empowered female lead.
15who makes her bag? its ~fierce~
16I love Kate!! She's so beautiful!!
17this outfit is great! anyone know where that bag, those shoes, and that shirt is from?
18i must say..i love her bag
19she is one of the funniest, most real and crude people in hollywood today- love her.
20It's nice to think about what her kids will think.
21I love her hair! I wish mine looked like that.
22She's beautiful.
23jamie lee curtis said something similar a few years ago. they wanted her to do a bit at the oscars where she would come in on what looked like a helicopter and it would drop her on stage before she presented. she took her daughter with her to rehersal, thinking she would love it and instead the poor girl was mortified. she said she told them they would have to get someone else to do it because her daughter was at an age where she was embarassed by (and tired of) the whole acting thing and the way it overshadowed everything else. she felt it was more important to be the mom her daughter needed that the comic the public enjoyed.
good for kate
24I would have loved to see her as a Bond girl.
25Look elderly? HAHA yah right! She will look great for a long time, I think.
But I agree with the last few comments above. It's great that she is considering her daughter now when she chooses roles. That's what a mother should do!
26I love Kate she is so beautiful, she doesnt need to do the skimpy clad actress sh*t there are enough sh*tty actresses in Hollyweird to fill those shoes. She seems like the coolest mom.
27hmmm....how do i feel about her?
28I just love her!
29I love Kate tooooooooo much!!!She is beautiful and popular!!!She is the most beautiful actress!!!Mwaaaaaaah sunshine
