Kate Beckinsale turned heads with her swimsuit body in August 2024, when her weight loss had already become a hot topic. The actress, 51, stripped down on Instagram for a fun post including her pets, and fans were largely supportive. Users, who are aware that Kate has suffered personal losses while supporting her mom through her cancer battle, were supportive, although recent photos of the British sensation have further sparked weight concerns. The most recent snaps even saw her called "sick" by one fan, with another asking if she was suffering from either "anorexia" or "bulimia." Kate has confirmed that neither is the case. Rather, that immense stress is being her slimmed-down frame.

Explaining Her Weight Loss

Kate Beckinsale spoke out last summer, firing back after a user told her to build some muscle up. Kate confirmed:

“No, actually, I watched my stepfather die quite shockingly, my mother has stage 4 cancer, and I lost a lot of weight from stress and grief,” also confirming that “the grief had burned a hole in my oesophagus [sic] which made me vomit blood.”
