Kate Beckinsale Has Insecurities, Too
December 30, 2009 in Beauty & Body Image, Celebrity Quotes, Kate Beckinsale by Versus
“I’ve always had doubts about my looks. Most women have body issues and I’m no different.”
On the rumors that say she opted for breast implants:
“We were suddenly talking about breasts — not brains. At one point I felt as though everyone was out to get me.”
“I was having everything examined from my cellulite to my choice of films. I had allowed my self to be flattered when all this talk of breasts started because I assumed it meant I looked good. But when I found out it meant I had horrible boobs I was taken aback. I began to wonder why I cared about things which, essentially, don’t matter at all.”
… says Kate, who was recently named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire Magazine.
What she said is true, but she still got implants, so does she really beleive that?
She knows she’s beautiful, come on….
Not every beautiful woman feels beautiful. Not unlike anorexics, whose body image is very distorted, a woman with low self esteem can also have a distorted image of herself. No matter how many times she hears she’s beautiful.
I’m saying that anyone that can pose in front of a camera constantly making sexy facial expressions, or walk around in their underwear on video, when voted “sexiest woman”, or and stay in a skin tight cat suit for months at a time on a movie set (Underworld), has some idea of how pretty they are. She’s not a shrinking violet. She likes to dress up and put herself out there.
so, i always dress up/do my hair/take good pictures and know im good looking but im also insecure half the time. girls preocupied with their looks are very often insecure cause they put themselves out there to get judged
Alexad, don’t bother. Let her have the last word
She probably doesn’t think she’s ugly, but she might not think she is ‘beautiful’. Her parents probably taught her about the importance of being humble… I think it’s good to maintain a bit of modesty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thus not everyone is going to find the same thing appealing. It’s naive to think that the whole world thinks you’re gorgeous. I have had strangers approach me to tell me wonderful things about my appearance, which is a nice feeling, yes. But I know that for every person who thinks I’m attractive there’s probably another person out there who doesn’t. You’re only setting yourself up for being hurt if you think you are “hot stuff” and then someone comes along who doesn’t mirror that same image you have of yourself.
And for the record, I don’t find Kate attractive. She is beautiful in her own way, but it’s not what I personally find appealing. She should be happy with who she is, but for the person she is on the inside. Having confidence in that is far more beautiful than being completely in love with your face and body. I believe in taking pride in the way you look- exercise, makeup (in moderation!), shiny hair and nice clothes. That pride exudes a certain amount of self respect. But it manifests into something ugly when people rely on that physical appearance as the basis of their worth, happiness and like-ability, and expect everyone to validate their enormous ego on the basis of their looks- outer beauty is far to subjective and fleeting to ever do that.
Sometimes I think celebrities feel as though they have to put their “insecurities” out there so they can be more likable and relatable to others. Really, I find nothing wrong with a woman actually loving and being confident in her body regardless of how its attributes look. But some people often find her as being a b***h if she does, not saying she’s perfect and doesn’t worry sometimes but she has a healthy perception about her body.
I agree – it’s healthy to be happy with your appearance, people talk about modesty but a lot of women who act like they are all that are making up for low self esteem.
I think beauty is like designer purse – once you’ve had it for a while it it’s not that interesting anymore and you’ll just find something else to want.
The only way to be happy with how you look is to teach yourself to believe that looks aren’t all the that important (not easy in our society) and then you’ll stop critizing every flaw.
The only reason she’s in movies is casue of her husband, lets be real. She has a beautiful body but women who whine are not attractive. Talking about your boobs is booooooooooooooring
I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked her. Especially after I saw pictures of how she treats her little dog.
Previous interviews that she has done, have not given the impression that she has that many doubts about her looks. (If I remember correctly)
I got insecurities too…no matter how many ppl tell me I’m pretty…I even get angry if they say it
same here.
Same. As silly as it is, I roll my eyes at people who tell me I’m pretty because I don’t feel it.
it’s nice to know I’m not the only one
have a nice new years eve
I never understood why people were thinking her boobs were ugly?there is no topless picture neither….strange
btw i always thought she had a beautiful face but not such a great body, not bad of course,just average
i’m sure she does know she’s beautiful but no matter who thinks they’re the most beautiful person in the world everyone is going to have insecurities sometimes, whether or not they chose to tell the world about it
she’s not that beautiful… just pretty.
at a glance i thought it was mrs beckham
Beautiful, classy, funny, witty… K Beckinsale is a 10/10.
