Kate Beckinsale is still coping with a tragic loss.
The actress, known for her role in Pearl Harbor, recently opened up about a very difficult year. She lost both her mother, Judy Loe, to cancer at age 78, and her stepfather, Roy Battersby, just over a year prior. She addressed recent criticism about her appearance, emphasizing the importance of understanding how her grief affected her.
In a recent Instagram video, Kate shared that she experienced the loss of her father at age five due to a massive heart attack, followed by the death of her stepfather, and then witnessed her mother’s long and painful decline. Through tears, she explained that these experiences have significantly impacted her appetite.
The 52-year-old, whose father was actor Richard Beckinsale, thinks her loss of appetite might be related to feeling guilty about surviving when others haven’t. She explained it’s different from anorexia, which involves a conscious effort to restrict food. Instead, she feels her body has simply shut down.
Honestly, it’s just… devastating. Seeing them, my favorites, go through such awful things, especially when I’m watching it all alone, it completely destroys your appetite. It’s not just sadness, it’s… traumatic. Those horrible, sometimes violent deaths? They just take it away, you know? I can’t even think about food when I’m reliving those moments.
As someone who’s navigated life’s ups and downs, I really connected with Kate’s recent openness. She’s mom to Lily Mo Sheen, and she’s been sharing her experiences with grief, acknowledging that everyone processes it differently. What struck me most was how she’s reframing the conversation around her body – she’s using it as a chance to reflect on and appreciate the wonderful upbringing her parents gave her. It’s a beautiful way to find gratitude even in challenging times.
I’m thankful I would never think of making fun of someone who is clearly hurting, especially about how they look. I’m also very grateful for the way my parents raised me to be considerate, and I miss them a lot.
The actress, known for her role in Underworld, also responded to those criticizing her appearance, saying she hopes anyone bothered by her weight or how she looks has parents as supportive as hers.
She pointed out that despite being criticized for how she looks, she refuses to respond with the same negativity and hurtful comments that she often receives.
Kate firmly stated she would never follow in their footsteps. She added that if her parents’ greatest achievement was raising her to treat others with respect and kindness, she was incredibly proud of them.

She was excited but also a little doubtful when she heard about Openfit’s 4 Weeks of Focus program led by trainer Kelsey Heenan.
I’ve been following her journey, and it’s been amazing to see! For four weeks straight, she started each day with warm water and lemon, followed by a really intense 30-minute workout – everything from HIIT and cardio to strength training. She really mixed things up! And she’s been prioritizing healthy eating, but in a super realistic way – she says if she’s craving pizza, she’ll have it, and just add some spinach! Honestly, she’s become a total believer in this routine. She even said she was shocked at how strong she was becoming – she’d always been active, but had never lifted weights that heavy before, like 40 or 50 pounds!

Despite this, she decided to focus on her accomplishments and still celebrate her progress, emphasizing that setbacks shouldn’t overshadow positive achievements.
Ugh, I keep having to tell myself that any progress is still progress, even if it’s tiny. I seriously busted my butt this week, I really did! But it’s fine, you know? I didn’t pack on all this weight in a day, so I’m not gonna magically lose it overnight either. I just have to keep pushing, no matter what happens. It’s a process, and I’m committed!
I’m so inspired by her! She just knows she’ll achieve everything she’s working towards. She always says, ‘I’m getting to my wonderland,’ and it’s not about a timeline for her.

They did warn, though, not to expect instant results. The author of Love That Story shared that it took three weeks of consistent effort before they noticed any difference. So, if you’re trying to make a change, be prepared to work out and eat differently for about three weeks before seeing results.
Before turning thirty in 2022, the former Disney Channel star decided to start a new fitness plan.
The actor, who is married to model Barbara Palvin, shared an Instagram post in April explaining that he used to be self-conscious about his body as a child and would even wear a shirt while swimming.

He said it was a tough journey getting in shape with weights and kettlebells, but he’s proud of how far he’s come and still isn’t finished improving.

Giving up his favorite beers? Okay. And dedicating himself to intense daily workouts – like his P90X, kickboxing, and running – as he told Men’s Journal? No problem.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen a lot of dedication to fitness, but Chris Pratt’s transformation for Guardians of the Galaxy was truly something else! He lost a significant amount of weight – around 60 pounds – and honestly, the hardest part wasn’t the workouts, it was the water intake.

“I was peeing all day long, every day,” he explained. “That part was a nightmare,”
Even though he was already somewhat known, like Cher Horowitz might say, the actor who starred in Clueless knew people were surprised to learn he’d be playing Marvel’s newest hero, Ant-Man.
Paul Rudd has said that when he was cast in the movie, many people were surprised, reacting with something like, ‘Paul Rudd as a superhero? Is that really happening?’ He shared this with Variety magazine in 2015.

After having her older children, the author of the Just Eat book returned to the South Beach diet to help her feel like herself again. She told TopMob News that the high-protein plan worked quickly. “I started the program, I exercised, and I immediately felt better,” she said.
Before anything else, she’s focused on enjoying the time after giving birth. Decker, a mom of four – Vivianne, Eric Jr., Forrest, and baby Denver (born February 2024) – emphasizes, “New moms should prioritize recovery, not weight loss. Focus on feeding your baby, bonding with them, and letting your body heal. You’ll naturally know when you’re ready to be active again. Don’t let pressure to lose weight distract you – listen to your body and wait until you feel physically up to it.”
Getting in shape for his role has been a great perk, and it’s led to noticeable results. He’s been working out for 90 minutes at a time and eating a much healthier diet—lots of lean protein and vegetables, and cutting out sugary drinks, as he told People magazine.
He’s really motivated by achieving a long list of personal goals. He shared that many of these involve outdoor adventures, like rock climbing in Yosemite, which he’s getting in shape for. A major ambition of his is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a long path stretching from Mexico to Canada along the American coast.
After my sweet Kingsley was born in September 2022, I really started to come to terms with how things had changed. As much as I loved becoming a mom, I admitted to myself – and shared on Instagram in January 2023 – that my body wouldn’t fully bounce back, and honestly, I’m learning to accept and even love that. It’s a tough but freeing realization.
If she’s having a hard time, she’s learned a helpful trick – just as important as getting back into her exercise routine after having a baby.
She told TopMob News that looking into her daughter’s eyes – who she affectionately calls her “sweet angel” – helps her feel grateful instead of focusing on her own flaws. She considers this a helpful trick, because it’s easy to be too hard on yourself, no matter what you do.
