Beckinsale Embarrassed By Safety Training Film

British actress [Kate Beckinsale](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/kate-beckinsale) used to vet potential suitors by showing them her performance in a safety training video.

Long before she became a movie star, the sexy brunette starred in an industrial film, in which she plays a factory worker who becomes a paraplegic after an accident.

Beckinsale says, "I was probably 17 or 18, and it was a training video about safety.

"I played a factory worker who dreams of becoming a pop star. Then I run down a corridor, skid on some cleaning fluid and become a paraplegic.

"It's fantastically bad. I look terrible, and the whole thing is ghastly. It's one of those things I put every boyfriend through to make sure he can actually handle being with someone who has done something so appalling."

The actress, now married to director [Len Wiseman](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/len-wiseman), adds, "It's like telling them I've had a sexually transmitted disease."
