The Serendipity star's bold style statements came after she shared on The Graham Norton Show last week that she was instructed to hit the gym prior to filming the 2001 blockbuster, Pearl Harbor. "I don't think I fitted the type of actress Michael Bay, the director, had met before," Beckinsale explained. "I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren't bigger than my head and I wasn't blonde."

She added, "I'd just had my daughter [Lily Sheen] and had lost weight 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."
Pearl Harbor, which also starred Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, was only Beckinsale's second part in a major Hollywood film following 1999's Brokedown Palace.
