Kate Beckinsale took to social media Monday to reveal how she dealt with the grief.
Beckinsale recently turned to humor and friendship to navigate through a particularly tough period. On her Instagram, Beckinsale shared a video of herself mooning the London department store Harvey Nichols, a spontaneous act she attributed to the need for levity after receiving some very difficult news and the death of her beloved cat, Clive.

“The day after Clive died and I received some of the most horrific news I’ve ever received that next morning – sometimes there’s nothing for it but for your friend to show up as hard as possible and spend the evening making prank calls and mooning Harvey Nichols,” Beckinsale wrote in the caption.

“Because sometimes when the bottom falls out of your world the only response after crying till you’re sick is your own bottom @nina_kate I’ll never forget you jumping into the fire with me x,” she added.
Beckinsale’s approach resonated with many of her followers, who commended her for using humor as a coping mechanism. This connection was evident in the supportive comments from fans who appreciated her willingness to share these personal moments publicly.
