Kate Beckinsale fires back at 'vicious' trolls who say she's had plastic surgery and gives proof

Kate Beckinsale addressed the trolls in a lengthy Instagram post

Kate Beckinsale has hit back at the 'vicious' trolls who have been claiming she's had plastic surgery in a lengthy Instagram post.

The 50-year-old actress poured her heart out to her followers after claiming to have been ‘bullied’ with relentless questions about plastic surgery.

The lengthy post was accompanied by two videos of the star, which she says were taken two decades apart.

The Pearl Harbour star commented that people branded her as ‘unrecognisable’, and that the comments usually came from other women.

She detailed about the tragic death of her father when she was just five, and the crippling anxiety that followed her for years after that.

In the post, she said: “I spent most of my teenage years and a good deal of my 20s absolutely crippled with severe anxiety and panic attacks that I was going to die of a heart attack too.

“The fact that one of the major things I am bullied about is an assumption that I can’t handle the idea of getting older is so deeply ironic, when my all consuming terror was that I never thought I’d even see the end of my 20s.”

The Underworld actress even went as far as to get a plastic surgeon to confirm that no work had been done to her face.

She said: “I don’t actually do any of those things – I’ve even gone to the trouble of having a plastic surgeon categorically state that I don’t and haven’t.

“Still, every time there’s a chorus of my God, you’re unrecognisable... it happens constantly and it’s usually women that are doing it.”

She commented that the differences in the videos were related to makeup techniques and beauty trends at the time.

“As you can see from these two videos, what is different is that I lived in the UK, and was paler," she said.

“I used to pluck the s**t out of my eyebrows, I loved that brown lipstick that everybody wore. I had a fuller face , as most of us do in our late teens and 20s.

“Makeup techniques were matte, not nearly so glossy. I thought contours were something I found difficult in geography lessons.”

To bring the post to an end, Beckinsale noted that her plea would probably make no difference to the trolling, but felt it was important for her to speak out.

She wrote: “It isn’t going to stop. But I’m posting it because whatever someone looks like, accusing them constantly of things they haven’t done, or being obsessed with youth when actually, currently I’m obsessed with surviving loss, is bullying.”

Let's hope we'll soon live in a world where people's appearances won't be constantly scrutinized...
