Why is Kate Beckinsale so teased by toyboys?

At first glance, we could forgive the audience for thinking that the scruffy man escorting Kate Beckinsale from a comedy club in Los Angeles this weekend was his aide-mémoire.

Only the hand on his hand while he was directing the actress in a limo gave a clue to the real nature of their relationship.

Because far from being an employee, Pete Davidson is in fact the current unlikely actress of the Hollywood actress.

It is believed that the two men have been dating for several weeks and plan to spend a holiday to strengthen their attachment, away from the spotlight.

To say that they look mismatched is a euphemism. Kate, 45, is of casual elegance while Davidson 's daily uniform, heavily inked, is a loose tee – shirt and jogging pants.

But there is another striking difference: at just 25 years old, Davidson's comedian is Kate's youngest, two-decade younger, closer to actress's 21-year-old daughter, Lily.

No wonder they raise their eyebrows, even in Hollywood – and not just because Davidson, who has been open about his mental health battles, is considered a bad boy in show business circles.

He is the latest in a series of toyboys that Kate has been linked to since her separation from her husband director, Len Wiseman, three years ago.

As one Hollywood initiate says, with tart tongue, "One says to oneself: why him? & # 39;

The same question was asked when Kate had already been seen outside the discotheques and at movie theaters with another comedian, Matt Rife, who was little known at the time. He was 21 years old for her 43 years old.

Although the romance did not last, they remained friends and were photographed together, as recently as last September, with Kate wearing a revealing white bra top for the occasion.

Then, in November, she was seen in a pbadionate embrace with 30-year-old British comedian Jack Whitehall in a candlelit kiosk at a karaoke bar in LA shortly before Davidson appeared on the scene.

Davidson, an ex of 25-year-old pop singer Ariana Grande, and Kate met at a party after the Golden Globes last month and would have started the conversation immediately by spending the night in a conversation.

The meeting provoked ripples: although relatively unknown in Britain, Davidson is well known in his home country, partly for his acting career in Saturday Night Live, but especially for his condemned pledge with Great, who was completed last October.

He also gained notoriety after making a tasteless joke about the bombing of the Manchester Arena, suggesting that the attack was a benchmark of Great's fame because "Britney Spears had not had any trouble." 39, terrorist attack during his concert ".

No wonder some of Kate's loved ones are worried about what they consider a kind of moderate mid-life crisis.

"They are worried," says a friend. "There is a view that she steals the cradle and that she ridicules herself in public."

A crbadness ability could scare someone from the stature of the actress. After all, she is known not only for her appearance, but for her intelligence.

She studied French and Russian literature at the University of Oxford and has always seduced the talks with her bad spirit.

Yet, when she reaches the age of 40, Kate goes through "a huge crisis of confidence," according to her friends.

"Growing up in Hollywood is incredibly difficult and while she looks great, she's always been terribly uncertain," says a member of her entourage.

And more than ever since the end of his 12 years of marriage with Wiseman in 2016. The couple remained cordial – Kate is proud of her good relationships with her two ex, including Lily's father, actor Michael Sheen , 50 years.

But before the split, Wiseman was seen partying with a young model, CJ Franco, who is 18 and her youngest daughter and who is known for her vivid modeling sessions.

"Kate found that mortifying," says the friend.

It is not difficult to understand why his ex-wife, faced with the two pillars of middle-aged and booming divorce, could react in the same way, with stimulating connections with younger lovers.

Other observers have pointed out that these novels have unfolded in the context of other increasingly erratic behaviors, including social media posts that have left its $ 2.6 million worth. perplexed followers.

Never decided to put forward her silhouette that defies age, Kate has published in recent months a remarkable number of photos showing her flesh.

An Instagram publication l 'only dressed in a swimsuit and an animal print jacket, the other in dress just there.

Shortly before going out with Davidson last week, Kate had posted a picture of herself on Instagram crying in a hospital bed after suffering a ruptured cyst from the hospital. ovary.

The most wacky of all, no doubt, is the message in which she is photographed posing with a clock bearing the name of Michael Sheen.

"If you manage to come out of a relationship with the best baby AND an elegant commemorative wall clock, I think you can safely feel that you have accomplished something," she writes below.

This prompted a fan to say, "I've always had a fruity, cringey, strange vibe on his part. Now this feeling is validated.

As strange as it may seem, Davidson has both charm and charisma.

In fact, all his recent lovers are comedians who share his sense of irreverent and earthly humor. "Pete is the kind of man who can make a woman laugh in bed," said a source in Hollywood.

"The same thing was said about Whitehall too."

Kate, according to all the accounts, was open with friends on the fact that Davidson's dry humor lured him particularly.

Davidson was open about her mental health issues – and Kate also had to fight her own demons.

These date back to his childhood and the loss of his father, Richard Beckinsale, better known as Ronnie Barker's cell mate in Porridge, who died at the age of 31 from a heart attack whereas she was only five years old.

In the past, Kate was open to the devastating legacy of her loss, which she honestly admitted led to her teenage anorexia.

"If you learn that when you're a child, apparently healthy people fall stiff at the age of 31, that makes you pretty good," she said. A friend expresses it more succinctly: "On one level, Kate never overcame it."

Davidson will understand the pain of losing a father – his, a firefighter, died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York when he was only seven years old.

Her determination is due to the fact that she still managed.

At age 18, she accepted a place at Oxford and participated in amateur productions, which allowed her to be chosen by Kenneth Branagh to play the role of Hero in his 1993 film Much Ado About Nothing.

Her career wrapped up, leading to a move to Hollywood where, in 2001, she filmed the Pearl Harbor War Epic alongside Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett.

At that time, she had met Sheen and gave birth to Lily, but in 2003, after taking on the role of Selene, vampire of the hit franchise, Underworld, she had engaged in a relationship with Wiseman, the director of the film.

In 2004, they got married. Kate wore a pair of bikini bottoms with the words "Mrs Wiseman" on their honeymoon.

The couple had a good time living and working together on other Underworld payments.

Nevertheless, despite the success of the franchise, Kate would feel that her career has not lived up to her oldest hopes.

"She is at the point where she desperately wants Hollywood to take her seriously," says the Hollywood girlfriend.

There are certainly signs that, whatever her choices in her personal life, she is trying to remind Hollywood that she can do much more than wear a suit and point a gun.

She was hailed for her role as Lady Susan in the movie Love and Friendship 2016, a very funny adaptation of Jane Austen's epistolary novel about the maneuvers of a widow calculator aimed at getting rich husbands for her and her daughter .

This year, she should play in a controversial new film titled Farming, based on the debut of director Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

This low-budget film focuses on the period when his Nigerian parents "raised" him in a white working family in Tilbury, Esbad, to give him a better future – and how he joined a gang of racist skinheads to feel less isolated.

Kate plays Ade's adoptive mother, with no makeup and as skinny as possible. "I still do not know why Ade threw me," she admitted. "It was such a strange gesture."

The same could be said of his decision to embark on an improbable relationship with Davidson, which sparked Jack Whitehall's interest.

Posing Instagram shots with a tattooed torso and another with a baseball cap folded over his eyes, Whitehall seemed to make fun of some of Davidson's "movements".

Is it an attempt to win back Kate? Some of his friends will certainly hope for it.
