Kate Beckinsale Was Anorexic

Kate Beckinsale, 32 opens up about her teen eating disorder in the July issue of Allure magazine.

She reveals: "I [wish] I had had a sensible magazine article to have read at the time from someone who was actually intelligent.

"I never really talked about that, actually. [But] when I was around 22 or 23, I decided I'd mention it because I decided I was one of the few people I knew who had that problem who didn't remain a freak about it."

The actress dropped down 70lbs at her lowest point.

She added: "It's really more about fixing up your life instead of eating or not eating."

In her new movie 'Click', the British actress plays the wife of a man, played by Adam Sandler, who gets a TV remote control which allows him to fast forward, rewind and pause his life to make it better.

Beckinsale, 32, admits she would love to have a time-travelling gadget like that in real life so she could take a much needed rest.

She said: "I would press pause and take a big ol' nap."

The brunette star has also revealed she brought her 7-year-old daughter Lily - from her relationship with actor Michael Sheen - on set with her as much as she could so she wouldn't miss her during filming.

Meanwhile, Beckinsale has ruled herself out of starring in the new 'Wonder Woman' movie - because she doesn't want to embarrass her daughter. The actress - who dressed up as the whip-wielding superhero for Halloween last year - said: "I've embarrassed my daughter enough. I don't think appearing in my underpants is appropriate."

Kate Beckinsale on TRL

I most remember Patrick from his 1989 flick Loverboy - delivering pizza was never so much fun. He took care of all the hungry housewives in Beverly Hills, including a young and thin Kirstie Alley.
