Kate Beckinsale's fans think she 'needs immediate help' after she shares unsettling photos of bruised body

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Kate Beckinsale gave fans something to worry about after she shared a firsthand look at the toll her dedication took on her body while filming the action-packed 'Canary Black', where she stars as Avery Graves.

In response to speculation about her using a stunt double for intense scenes, the actress, 51, posted photos of her injuries, including bruised elbows, scraped knees, and inflamed fingers, affirming her commitment to the physically demanding role.

After an article implied Kate Beckinsale relied on a stunt double, except for close-up shots, the 'Underworld' star posted images of her bruises, raw scrapes, and sore marks on her torso, giving fans a glimpse of the price she paid for performing her stunts.

In one shot, her fingers and hand appear particularly battered, showing her full immersion in the action sequences.

Without elaborating on the exact scenes that led to these injuries, Beckinsale’s photos made it clear that her commitment went beyond what was implied in the media.

Concerned fans have been vocal about her health recently, particularly after seeing photos where she appeared frail following a hospital stay earlier in the year.

In the comments section of an unrelated Instagram post, one fan reportedly questioned, “Why are you all bruised up?”

The actress’s health has been a subject of discussion, especially after Beckinsale took to social media to defend herself against comments on her weight, as per Daily Mail. 

A particular viewer expressed, "Never mind the bruises. The nails are a red flag. Serious stuff going on when you let them go like that."

Following suit, another observer added, "Can't help but think that she is going to go completely off the rails."

Additionally, a viewer pointed out, "The pressures of Hollywood take their toll."

A follower contributed, "She needs immediate help."

A comment underscored, "Those leg shots are awful."

Another comment echoed, "Looks rough to me."

According to Daily Mail, following a health scare earlier in the year, she reportedly responded to a fan who commented on her appearance, saying, "Sorry to say this Kate, but you do look a bit thin. You always striked a great balance… But when your cheekbones start to show, the balance is lost.”

In response, Beckinsale offered insight into the challenges she’s faced, both personally and physically.

She shared that she has been grieving significant losses, including the death of her stepfather, Roy Battersby, earlier this year.

She explained, “I nursed my [stepdad] to his death early this year. My mum also has stuff going on. I am adjusting to watching two fathers die, one when I was 5, one in January of this year.”

Beckinsale’s early years were marked by tragedy when she lost her biological father, Richard Beckinsale, to a heart attack, an event that shaped much of her life.

Reflecting on her difficult year, she noted the impact of losing her stepfather and her “soulmate cat” of nearly 19 years.

“I spent six weeks in hospital due to copiously vomiting blood from a Mallory Weiss tear caused by the stress of a whole year ripping a hole between my oesophagus [sic] and stomach,” she wrote in the comments of her since-deleted post, as reported by US Weekly.

Adding to her health challenges, Beckinsale mentioned a flare-up of her mast cell disease, a rare condition that can worsen under stress, grief, and shock.

These factors contributed to her challenging year, and her latest social media post demonstrates her resilience as she tackles personal and professional hurdles.
