We sure do love a celebrity bitch fight -- even a fake one.
Jessica Biel has spoken about accidentally punching fellow actress Kate Beckinsale during filming for her latest movie, a remake of Total Recall.
And unfortunately for Jessica, she did it right in front of Kate's husband Len Wiseman, the director of the movie.
Oops.
"I was so fearful of hitting her. I was thinking, 'Please don't let me hit this woman in the face! Her husband is watching!' And then I hit her," Jessica told Empire magazine.
The scene is a new spin on the famous catfight between their 1990 equivalents — Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin.
"There's a tongue-in-cheek element to that movie, and to their fight sequence, which has high kicks and workout clothes," laughs Kate. "It's very enjoyable, but that doesn't really have a place in the tone of our movie.
"But I like the fact that there's this fight between Jessica and I and it doesn't end up that someone's sleeve is ripped off, or someone's bra is out. This was as if it was two guys — and yet it was us kind of madly apologising to each other!"
The film also sees Kate getting into bed with the new Doug Quaid (originally played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) played by Colin Farrell.
"It wasn't a sex scene, it was a bit of a frisky hug."
So how did Kate feel about giving and receiving a 'frisky hug' in front of her husband?
"It's always more awkward for the other person, I think. I've got no movable parts, so I can be inscrutable."
Nicely put...
