Beckinsale met Wiseman on the set of the vampire thriller Underworld, in which Sheen also appeared. The film was hugely successful, but its success almost condemned her. Beckinsale an actress hollywood is not the cliché that her shiny, rubber-bodied vamp look might suggest. She is quirky and funny. For a while this shocked hollywood producers. They thought they were hiring a distant beauty not someone who cracked filthy jokes and sizzled with warmth and approachability.
She is not glamorous. She doesn’t love her body. She is insecure. As a teenager she suffered from anorexia. She is often self-conscious and uncomfortable, and seems a little kooky because that is just the other side of shy actress.
