Kate BeckinsaleRecent health problems haven’t kept her away from the screen.
Beckinsale, 50, will co-star Scott Eastwood in the kidnapping drama Stolen girl, which is currently in pre-production. The film will tell the true story Maureen Dabbagha woman who spent years searching for her daughter after she was kidnapped by the child’s father.
Most of them Stolen girl is filming in Italy and is expected to begin principal photography soon, with a budget of around $25 million. James Kent will direct the film, with Rebecca Pollock And Kas Graham write the script.
News of Beckinsale’s casting comes just weeks after she shared (and then deleted) a series of posts on Instagram from a hospital bed while being treated for an undisclosed illness. Although Beckinsale didn’t reveal any details, she denied being treated for a ruptured cyst or endometriosis. Beckinsale was treated for a ruptured ovarian cyst back in January 2019.
Beckinsale first posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed on March 10, celebrating Britain’s Mother’s Day and sharing kind words about her own mother. Two days later, she shared a picture of her Pomeranian Myf visiting her in the hospital, adding that her cat Willow had visited her the day before.
It is not clear whether Beckinsale left the hospital afterward and then returned or whether she had a longer stay, but she later celebrated Easter in the hospital bed on March 31 and posted more hospital photos a few days later.
Beckinsale also hinted at stomach pain in an Instagram post on Sunday, April 21. Earlier this month, she shared a post in which she wore a T-shirt that read, “TUMMY TROUBLES SURVIVOR.”
Her health issues come at a difficult time for the actress, who is also struggling with the grief of losing her stepfather. Ray Battersby.
Over the weekend, Beckinsale paid tribute to her stepfather on his birthday.
“There will be no FaceTime today,” she wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of Battersby. “In the middle of the night I watch you open your presents. No one received gifts with greater joy.”
The next day, in another post, she added: “Do anything. Wallow, cry, celebrate, look at the wall in disbelief. Send your mom flowers… Buy gourmet cookies that you can’t eat because your stomach hurts. Maybe eat anyway. Or not. Laugh and cry when you receive an email from a dentist you once took him to wishing your late father a happy birthday. Do it all. Or do nothing.”
