LONDON: British actress Kate Beckinsale was afraid that she might have been photographed without her underwear because she had not worn any at a recent film screening.

The actress made her husband Len Wiseman shoot her pictures on returning home to check whether the paparazzi might have been able to get embarrassing pictures of her, contactmusic.com reports.

Kate said, “It was one of those nights when I wore a supertight dress that you couldn’t have worn anything under, since it would have showed. The paparazzi were literally lowering their cameras like speculums when I got out of the car.”

“On the way home, I said to my husband, ‘Darling, I think they might have gotten it.’

And so when we pulled in (at home) I made him re-enact the thing with his camera — a sort of crime scene run through. It appears I survived unscathed.”
