Kate Beckinsale refers to Luke Wilson as she voices support for Blake Lively?
Who are the male actors Kate Beckensale is blaming?
British actor Kate Beckinsale trigged a debate about the identity of the actors she has mentioned in her latest video meant to express solidarity with Blake Lively after she sued Justin Baldoni.
The star of “Love & Friendship”, “Canary Black” and the Underworld series revealed Beckinsale revealed she has been “assaulted” and “felt up” on film sets, and was insulted and called “a cunt” and “a bitch” when she complained.
In the video, Beckinsale recounts her own negative experiences, saying she has “47 million stories” like this. She says: “At the age of 18, [I was] felt up by somebody that I really trusted on a crew. Went to the lead actress, who’s known for being a supporter of women, and said this has happened and was told, ‘No, it didn’t.’ I went to another actress, crying, and said I’d just been assaulted by this man and again told, ‘No, you haven’t been.’”
Beckinsale says she has twice been put in “unsafe situations” in movie fight scenes. “There’s a certain kind of actor who gets kind of a thrill out of legally being able to harm a woman during a fight sequence. And I was harmed, to the point where there were MRIs proving it. And actually what happened was I was gaslit and made to feel like I was the problem, blamed and ostracised … as soon as I mentioned there was a problem.”
Beckinsale describes the behaviour of a “drunk” male co-star whose inability to learn his lines caused extensive delays, meaning she was unable to see her young daughter during the shoot. “He’s obviously going through something, and I have full sympathy for that, but … the studio’s response was to give me a bike so I could ride around the studio lot while I was waiting. Then, of course, I was called a cunt and a bitch. At one point during a take, I was called ‘You stupid bitch.’”
As thousands of people voiced support for the actress, many people started guessing the identity of the actor whose behavior was discussed by Kate Bekinsale.
American actor Luke Wilson’s name came up during debates on several social media platforms.
Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson worked on 2007 film Vacancy together and he was one of the men who she referred to in her statement, a claim that could not be independently verified.
