Kate Beckinsale refuses to bare her bum for new film

Actress says she doesn't like her naked body

Kate Beckinsale demands body double for new film Whiteout

Kate Beckinsale is rumoured to have requested a body double for her new film Whiteout – because she hates her body.

‘The script called for her character to be filmed nude in a shower, focusing in on her bottom and thighs,’ a source tells the Mail On Sunday.

‘Kate insisted on a double being hired. She was quite open about not liking her body and said she particularly loathed her bottom and was not comfortable baring it.’

So producers forked out for £1,000-a-day stand-in to replace her.

In the past Kate has admitted that she struggles with her confidence.

'Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed,' she says.

'I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think: "Why don’t
I look like that now?" It’s because I never have!'

Kate, 34, is married to director Len Wiseman. She has a 9-year-old daughter Lily with ex Michael Sheen.
