Insecure Kate hated Pearl Harbour filming

Sexy star Kate Beckinsale has revealed she hated filming Pearl Harbor due to her treatment by the film's director, Michael Bay.

The Van Helsing star was left with feelings of insecurity after she was told she was chosen for the role because she wasn’t beautiful.

The actress says: "It freaked me out because I was so pleased with myself, having lost the 70 pounds after my pregnancy. I wasn't exactly what they had in mind, and when they publicized the movie, Michael would continue to say, 'We cast Kate because she wasn't too attractive'."

“I did find that quite upsetting and my self-esteem took a real blow from it... I became quite insecure because I was told a lot that I wasn't pretty enough."
