Kate Beckinsale 'Threatens To Use Martial Arts Skills' On Daughter's Unsuitable Boyfriends

Like any mother, Kate Beckinsale is super protective over daughter Lily and the actress has even gone as far as to say that if any unsuitable boys try to date her daughter, she will use her newly learned martial arts skills to frighten them away.

After being cast as the villain in the 'Total Recall' remake, Kate hopes that this tough girl image will stick with the friends of her 13 year old daughter, from her romance with 'Twilight' star Michael Sheen.

She told Easy Living magazine: "All those boys hopefully will."

"I remember Len talking to Bruce Willis when Len did Live Free Or Die Hard and I think Bruce did some terrifying things when his daughter got a boyfriend. Len and I asked him 'When Lily starts having boyfriends, will you come over?, We'll all stand stand on the doorstep and scare the s*** out of them."

"But maybe now I don't need Bruce. Now that I'm a villain, I can go solo."

Kate also went on to talk age, saying that being 39 didn't make her feel old, but having a teenage daughter did.

She said: "I grade age much less by the number than by how shocking it is to have a child who is the age mine is."

Adding, "I haven't experience a full-facial collapse, or grown a beard. Those things probably will happen, but they haven't yet.

"It's more of the thing about being embarrassing to somebody. I can't dance at a party where there are teenagers without clearing the floor."

"Those are the things that make me go, 'Wow, I'm old.' It doesn't matter if you're the bad girl in an action movie - you're a parent; everybody leaves."
