Kate Beckinsale: Motherhood Affected My Career Plan

Kate Beckinsale has said that becoming a mother meant she no longer had a plan when it came to her career.

The actress fell pregnant with Lily, her daughter with former partner Michael Sheen, when she was 26 and admits that her professional plans went off piste after the birth.

The 19-year-old has now went off to college, leaving Kate to work more and find her career goals again.

In an interview with Radio Times magazine, she said: "I've never had a plan but not having a plan has meant that I've had this quite schizophrenic career where I could do various low-budget things and then I'll suddenly do an action thing, and then I'll do something like 'The Widow'.

"So it's interesting, now that my daughter is a bit older, I want to find out what my sensibility is."

Kate admitted she held off taking a lot of jobs when Lily was younger because she wanted to be at home to care for her.

"When I was younger, I got a bit blindsided by suddenly finding myself pregnant and having to be a mum," she explained.

"I've been saying for years, 'When my daughter goes to college, then I'm going to be able to go off and do jobs that are far away.' "

The star later accepted a role on TV show 'The Widow' which is filmed in South Africa.
