Kate Beckinsale is no stranger to New Orleans. She has been in and out of our great city during the filming on the new hit movie “Contraband”. If there is one thing that Kate loved about NOLA, it was definitely the food. She raved in a recent interview about the creole cuisine, and of course the trademark beignets! But, while the Hollywood starlet has been indulging in this comfort food, her costume for her upcoming film started to make her less-than-comfortable.
Aside from playing the wife of a good-hearted smuggler in the thriller “Contraband”, Beckinsale also is known for her role as a vampire warrior in the “Underworld” series. For the role of Selene, the dark and powerful hero of the underworld, the actress wears a skin tight leather catsuit. In the past, this wardrobe choice hasn’t given her too much heartache. But after a few month stay in New Orleans, she started to get a little nervous. The costume hides hardly anything, even that extra bowl of gumbo. She commented,
"It's got the worst kind of 'Underworld' suit food, really. So it was a miracle. I guess having had a lot of training for the first one, thank goodness, it wasn't quite as extensive as that but there were still a lot of complicated fight scenes to learn and stunts I hadn't done before and just the sheer terror of getting back into that suit, which is a bit like a put your bikini on and stand in Times Square kind of feeling”.
After seeing Beckinsale at the Golden Globes… we hardly think she has ANYTHING to worry about!
