Kate Beckinsaleis sharing funny details of a childhood misdemeanour!
On Thursday, the actress shared an amusing account on her Instagram Story of a trip to the historic monument in the north of England, Hadrian’s Wall, when she was an 8-year-old school girl.
Beckinsale, 50, posted several screenshots of her recounting the experience with a friend called ‘Chaps’ during a text message exchange, in which she revealed that: “On a primary school trip to Hadrian’s wall I saw a bit of wall that had loads of sparkly bit in. And I snaffled in and put it in my rucksack. It weighed about three stone and so did I.”

She continued, “And I think I think they suspected I had stolen some wall. And they said you have to put it back.”
The second screenshot showed that her friend — who had been interjecting with “haha” messages — had then responded, “You know what they say “you can take the girl our of Chiswick but you can’t take large sections of hadrians wall from her rucksack.”
“And I said I’ll only do it if everyone including the teachers turn their backs and close their eyes. I was maybe 8,” Beckinsale continued.
“And they actually did and I furtively tipped the wall back with a massive thud and that how come I am not in prison now,’ the actress wrote to finish her story.
Her friend then replied “That is utterly brilliant” to which Beckinsale texted back “I knew you’d love it.”

At the beginning of September, the actress shared with fans on Instagram that she had gotten Clive’s eyes tattooed in color onto her shoulder.
“How can a light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale. Love you always,” Beckinsale wrotealongside the image, adding a purple heart emoji.
A few weeks earlier, in August, the actress hadposted a photograph of a black-and-white tattooof Clive’s face on her arm. The ink saw the cat’s face set over a design of fine-line circles and stars.
