Kate Beckinsale knows how to create an impact.

Following her plea to put an end to the cruel bullying aimed at her appearance, Beckinsale's fellow actress from "Serendipity" - who had been hospitalized due to an undisclosed illness in March - shared some pictures and videos of herself in which she was transformed into an elder gentleman. This move was meant to quiet down the online trolls who were relentlessly attacking her image.

"I'm offering a new agreement. This is all you're going to see," she typed as the explanation to the initial picture she posted on Instagram. The picture showcased Beckinsale donning a white suit and a mask. "I hope it won't be too triggering for you and more suited for your age. Goodbye, ladies."

During her first public appearance since experiencing an undisclosed medical issue, Kate Beckinsale expressed that it has been a challenging year for her. She didn't reveal any details about her health problem.

Kate Beckinsale, a talented actress from the United Kingdom, arrived at the Nya Studios in Los Angeles on December 5, 2023 to participate in Elle's Women in Hollywood celebration.

The actress discussed the negative comments she has received about her looks in a video posted on Instagram on Sunday.

This is a challenging topic for me to discuss because I don't want to contribute to an already ongoing discussion. Unfortunately, I feel compelled to share my thoughts because persistent bullying in any form can have negative effects. These video incidents occurred many years ago, perhaps even two decades.

Kate Beckinsale expressed her desire that her costume as an elderly gentleman would be less provocative for her more disapproving fans.

Whenever I share something, which has been happening since I was approximately 30 years old, individuals accuse me of undergoing surgery or using Botox and fillers to enhance my appearance. They insinuate that I am fixated on appearing younger, and this behavior is cruel and tiresome, as it is a form of bullying.

She said, "I don't engage in any of those activities - I even took the effort to consult a plastic surgeon to clearly confirm that I haven't done anything of the sort. Despite this, there is always a group of people exclaiming that I am unidentifiable. People repeatedly remark "Oh my God, you've had plastic surgery", "Oh my God, you don't even resemble yourself anymore". It's a frequent occurrence, and it's normally women who are responsible for making such comments."

In this blog section, we're talking about an appearance made by Kate Beckinsale at the 81st Golden Globe Awards. The event took place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 7th, 2024. The picture featured in the article was taken by Gilbert Flores and is courtesy of the Golden Globes 2024 via Getty Images.

When Beckinsale spoke about the subject, they stated, "It's clear that I'm not the same age as I used to be, but that's just a fact of life. I don't worry too much about getting older. When I was young, my father passed away when I was just five years old. This traumatic experience caused me to struggle with intense anxiety and panic attacks throughout my teenage years and into my 20s. I often believed that I was going to have a heart attack and would frequently end up in emergency rooms. During that time, I was so consumed by my anxiety that it was difficult for me to do anything."

Kate thinks it's very ironic that people make fun of her because she struggles with accepting the fact that she's aging.

I am sharing this with the realization that it won't make a difference. The behavior will continue despite my message," her statement read. "However, I am still posting it to raise awareness that regardless of one's appearance, constantly falsely accusing them or fixating on youth when I am myself consumed by grieving, is a form of bullying. I plead with you to refrain from such behavior."

The actress recently discussed her difficult year in which she disclosed dealing with undisclosed health concerns.
