You wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at her, but Kate Beckinsale was never much of a gym person. The star, featured on the cover of the latest Women's Health issue, says she never imagined the day would come when she'd work out regularly.
“Underworld” fans must already know that Kate is always in impeccable shape but, if you happen to not be one of them, a single look at the Women's Health cover should suffice.
Thinking back of her earlier days, she almost finds it funny how much she hated the gym and how she imagined she would never become a regular of one.
“I wasn’t particularly athletic. No one ever thought, 'I must have Kate on my team.' To me, you only went to the gym if you were really weird and obsessive. No one I knew in London at the time ever did it,” the actress says of her fitness growing up.
The first time she had to physically prepare for a role, she was shocked to find the things that were expected of her.
Kate also found it quite nasty that her trainer expected her to be constantly pushing herself.
“It was a full-on boys' gym: 'How much can you press? Go harder!' That kind of thing,” she says.
“They used to have a garbage can between the machines so people could throw up into it and then continue working out. That just seems far too gruesome. I didn't want to be in shape that much,” Kate adds.
With this in mind, it's almost ironic that Kate is now considered an action star, something that her role in “Total Recall” will enforce.
She never set out to be one, she says.
“It's slightly strange being predominantly known for something that's not necessarily my sensibility, but I've never had a plan. It all just unfolds and I think, well, that’s who I am now,” Beckinsale says.
As much as she protests she doesn't like the gym, Kate actually has somewhat of a reputation for training hard for the roles that require she be in the best shape possible.
For “Underwold: Awakening,” she had to fit into her Selene leather catsuit again – and she worked hard for months to look her best.
