The Celebrity Truth

Kate Beckinsale has vowed that she will never appear naked on film again, for the sake of her children – as she has vivid memories of being bullied at school when her actress-mother stripped on TV thirty years ago.

Veteran British TV star Judy Loe appeared naked on a television show when her daughter Kate was around nine years old, and the episode traumatised Beckinsale so much, that she says she is determined not to subject her nine-year-old daughter, Lily, to the same humiliation.

"My mum was an actress, and she did a nude scene on television when I was about 9 or 10," Beckinsale tells AOL Movies.

"The crisis I had when everyone came to school the next day and told me they’d seen my mother naked just makes me kind of, you know … I’m not in a big rush to do that to my child."

Beckinsale adds, "She’s embarrassed enough that I’m an actress at all, without me being naked as well."
