There was basically no way to word this headline that didn’t sound salacious, because that is literally the whole of the thing: actress Kate Beckinsale sends nude pictures of her ex-husband and the father of her daughter, Michael Sheen, to her daughter when she senses she’s not doing so well.
When Sheen was on “Conan” at an earlier date, he told Conan O’Brien that their daughter occasionally googles pictures of him naked in the movies he’s been in for a laugh.
When asked, Beckinsale defends it saying that her and her daughter just find it quite funny:
“My daughter and I are both from the school where we think a naked man is very funny, in the right circumstances. Not as a surprise jumping out at you in a dark alley. It’s a funny thing, it’s very funny!”
She says that if she senses her daughter is feeling a bit low she’ll send her something like, say, Sheen standing full nude in a bathtub:
You can watch the clip here, which definitely makes it seem less weird when you see her say it:
