'I mean, it was a disaster.'
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Underworld star Kate Beckinsale admits that she wasn't a natural when it came to being an action star, recalling how she prepared for her role as Selene.

“I’d be in America for a while and occasionally going up for parts [like] a cop or somebody tougher, and people would be like, ‘Oh, but she’s a little Jane Austen-y and she’s very period, and a bit fragile. Oh, I thought, ‘I can’t have that.’ “It was really frightening because I had never fired a gun before. I ran like a girl. I mean, it was a disaster. I really had to be mentored into that. I remember the stuntmen being super horrified. [They’d say], ‘Throw a few punches.’ They were like, ‘Oh my god. This is gonna take a minute.’”Kate Beckinsale's Impact On Underworld Explained A franchise like Underworld really wouldn't work without Beckinsale nailing it as an action hero.
