When you think of Kate Beckinsale, chances are you think Much Ado About Nothing, Pearl Harbour and/or Serendipity. You might also think of that genius chocolate prank she once played on a friend, which she described in some detail to Graham Norton and his guests, Matt Le Blanc, Emilia Clarke and Dominic Cooper.
What you may not know to think, however, is: Kate Beckinsale, totally hilarious Instagram account...
With 1.2million followers, Kate entertains her fans with all-manner of amusing images and videos accompanied by, really, very funny captions. A recent post, for instance, depicted a bucket turned upside on the ground with the words 'Do Not Remove' on it. Kate had captioned her snap: 'Understandably none of the crew wanted to deal with the unexplained liquid pooh on the stairs. #trapit #crewsolve #holdingoutforahero'.

Other posts include her thoughts on what would happen if her and Gordon Ramsay swapped faces – 'he turns into 80s New Romantic boyband member gone to seed and I just gently become a sort of come hither Martin Freeman' – and a close-up selfie with a rather strange thought attached: 'I was feeling so Dutch Golden Age ish this morning we almost took this picture with a slightly unripe pear and a dead pheasant . But then someone stepped on someone else's finger and then it went all eh you know'.
Undoubtedly, her best posts feature her former boyfriend (and father to her daughter, Lily) actor and political activist Michael Sheen. Not just because it's totally adorable to see what great friends the exes are, but also because she has no scruples whatsoever about making him the butt of her jokes. Sometimes literally...
It's not always fun and games, however. A video she posted in the summer depicting Michael, Lily and her – walking in slow-mo to the tune of Tom Jones' Little Green Bag – was captioned: 'We may not be a conventional family but we have love and humour and respect and care and I am proud to have walked this far with both of you and to have @lily_beckinsale walk us into the future . God bless love,and good hearts , and loyalty and friendship , and may we all have more and more of it and make more and more of it in the world.'
She's funny, she's thoughtful and posts pictures of some truly cracking outfits too. If you don't follow Kate Beckinsale on Instagram, it's time to start now.
