Kate Beckinsale’s Teen Daughter Takes Secret Videos of Her Dancing: ‘It’s Going to Be There to Ruin Me!’
"That would be like sitting there with a glass of wine saying, 'You can't have a drink,' " Beckinsale told ES Magazine of the possibility of her daughter, Lily, pursuing an acting career. "I can see why she wants to do it. I don't love the downside of it for my baby. But it's not like she hasn't seen both of her parents having a real experience of what it's like. She has seen us ecstatic and miserable — she's seen that, squared."
Underworld: Blood Wars star Kate Beckinsale loves to dance.
So much so that the actress, 43, and her daughter Lily, 17, “do those YouTube videos where you have to follow along,” she tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “They’re really difficult. But oh my God, you can’t stop doing them. It’s like doing a triathlon, you spend about three hours doing it and you’re kind of exhausted afterwards.”

Beckinsale insists her own skills are limited when it comes to choreographed moves. “You have to do it as it’s happening in real time so you don’t get to practice,” the actress adds. “But she’s pretty good at it. We don’t have a large audience, fortunately. She meanly and secretly makes videos of it on her computer so it’s going to be there to ruin me.”
As for her other fears, Beckinsale admits she also gets irrationally scared “when people vomit. That’s my worst thing,” she says with a laugh. “So if someone is on the phone with me in like a distant state and says they have the stomach flu, then I am hitting the hand sanitizer quite hard.”
“Like if you were bleeding to death, I would help you but if you were vomiting, I will be long gone. With my fingers in my ear. Goodbye. Sorry,” she adds. “I’m a very supportive friend unless that happens.”
