From CSTB’s favorite site, Female First.
British actress Kate Beckinsale is relieved her husband Len Wiseman hates American football, because she thinks the sport is for girls.
Beckinsale (above) believes the US sport is too feminine and gentle, compared to football and rugby in her native England.
She says, “Len’s not into American football. I’d have a hard time if he constantly had to watch girls’ fucking rugby bollocks. That’s what I call American football.”It’s like rugby except they wear armour and scream a lot. It’s completely poofy. (They do) the gayest dances when they score.
And Beckinsale also has no time for baseball, which she compares to the English game rounders – a sport normally played by girls, which features small bats.
She continues, “And their other national sport? Rounders. Which is a girls’ game. The prosecution rests.”
Beckinsale’s latest film is a sequel to the straight-to-video”Underworld”. Mike Baldwin, suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s, was unavailable for comment.
C-list actress; a-list hotness, though.
Love her casual homophobia, so enlightened!
It’s worth mentioning that Underworld did make a perfunctory theatrical run before going to video. Wait. No, it isn’t.
Clearly she has not seen Chad Johnson endzone theater, otherwise she might appreciate a fellow thespian at work.
When my girlfriend was teaching middle school in Brooklyn, the principal held an “assembly” one afternoon that involved a screening of Underworld on DVD. The best guess after-the-fact was that it was because it is a story of tolerance between vampires and werewolves. The principal was fired at the end of the school year.
i guess we won’t see her at the oval in 2008, then.
I’d like to corroborate Mr. Van Halen’s observation, as I distinctly remember suffering through Underworld in a milieu that featured stadium seating, cup holders, Jimmy Fund propoganda, and teenagers making out behind my left ear.
Damn, I’ve never thought she could act. But she’s pretty much hitting the nail on the head with the boringest sport out there with a major TV contract (I include bowling), American Football. (gay cliches aside of course)
Laure,
I believe NASCAR’s deal would have to be considered “a major TV contract”
