British actress Kate Beckinsale revealed that she hasn’t seen her daughter Lily Sheen for two years due because of the coronavirus pandemic. The actor appeared on Live with Kelly and Ryan on Friday to promote her new action-thriller movie ‘Jolt’ where she opened up about how lockdowns had prevented her and Sheen from seeing each other at all. 

Beckinsale finally reunited with Sheen last Friday in New York, where she lives. She wasn’t able to see her daughter for two years because she went to Canada for filming and her daughter couldn’t come out to visit her. “Two years of not seeing your child is the most preposterous thought,” Beckinsale said.

She added that they used to speak on FaceTime but both panicked that they will look really old to each other when they meet in person. She also joked about her daughter that she was 22 but ‘looks 8’. Beckinsale said,  “She’s like, ‘I’m just worried that you’ll think I’ll look old.’ I’m like, ‘I’m gonna look old.'”

Beckinsale was married to British actor Michael Sheen from 1995 to 2003. Like her parents, Lily Sheen has also followed in her parents’ footsteps and will be appearing in a movie starring Nicholas Cage, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, next year.

Lily Sheen did her first movie last year, where she played Nicolas Cage’s daughter. Beckinsale added,  “She’s off and running. It’s quite scary. I said, ‘Be a doctor,’ and then this happened.” Sheen had her first film role in 2006’s Underworld: Evolution at the age of 6, which also starred Beckinsale.
