Kate Beckinsale recently opened up about her health struggles that led to a mysterious hospitalization earlier this year. The actress revealed that she spent six weeks in the hospital due to a hole in her esophagus caused by stress and grief. This condition resulted in her vomiting copious amounts of blood, making eating very difficult for her.
Beckinsale explained that the stress and grief she experienced were due to the sudden death of her stepfather and her mother's battle with stage 4 cancer. Additionally, she mentioned that she had lost a significant amount of weight quickly as a result of these emotional challenges.
Despite facing criticism about her weight loss and appearance on social media, Beckinsale emphasized that her focus is on dealing with personal losses and supporting her family. She expressed that external opinions about her appearance are not a priority given the difficult circumstances she is navigating.
Following her hospitalization, Beckinsale made her first public appearance in early May, where speculation arose about potential cosmetic procedures. However, she clarified that changes in her appearance were natural and attributed to factors like aging and makeup techniques.
The actress has been candid about her struggles with grief, PTSD, and family responsibilities, highlighting the importance of prioritizing mental and emotional well-being over external perceptions of physical appearance.
