Star looks more than a Lil’ bit like her Mum
IT IS often remarked how much Lily Mo Sheen, daughter of actress Kate Beckinsale, looks like her mother — and Beckinsale can only agree. The 49-year- old said: ‘I do see it. Yeah, I do. Sometimes I’ll send her a text saying, “Get your own face!”
‘ She’s like a better version. She’s got something that I don’t. She looks like this gorgeous Disney animal — she’s got these giant eyes . . . I think probably Dad [Michael Sheen] helped with that a bit — but she’s very much herself.’
Lily starred in the quirky film The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent alongside Nicolas Cage last year and will turn 24 at the end of the month. Beckinsale, who was out partying with Rita Ora after the Golden Globes last week, said: ‘It’s really tough to be just constantly asked if you’re going to do the same job your mum did, but also then people going, “Well, do you look like her? Or do you look like your dad?”
‘ You know, to me, she just always looks like herself. And maybe we can tell we are in the same family. We are quite similar in terms of sense of humour and all that stuff. But she’s very much her own self.’
Asked if she offers career advice to Lily, Beckinsale says: ‘I feel like she could do the advising, and I’m in awe and proud to see whatever it is she does do. She’s an exciting person.’
