Kate Beckinsale has been one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood for over a decade now But apparently, Michael Bay didn't really consider the British bombshell to be much of a looker! “I don't think I fit the type of actress Michael Bay had met before,” Beckinsale recalls of the Pearl Harbor director “I'd just had my daughter and had lost weight,” Beckinsale explains, “I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren't bigger than my head and I wasn't blonde. “but was told that if I got the part, I'd have to work out and I just didn't understand why a 1940s nurse would do that."
