In the middle of a slow and bizarre Warner Bros. panel at this year's San Diego Comic Con Kate Beckinsale showed up late to promote her film Whiteout in a really odd mood. She made numerous sexual references, jokes and was obviously referencing some weird internet rumors about her online. One such moment is when a fan asked what it was like shooting the film, she replied, "I got bruised and beat up alot... And I liked it," while she flashed a sly smile. Then when someone asked her how this film was different from her experiences on Underworld she joked, "I slept with the director a lot less." She then continued talking about how when she shot underworld crew would moan every single time she bent over in the leather outfit. It was clearly a stand-out moment in Comic Con history as I don't recall ever seeing anything like this.
