Actress Kate Beckinsale says she had to work hard to win the role in 'Pearl Harbor'.
The 42-year-old actress said she was told to " work out " for her role in the 2001 film, reported ET online. "I don't think I fitted the type of actress Michael Bay , the director, had met before.
"I'd just had my daughter and had lost weight but was told that if I got the part I'd have to work out, and I just didn't understand why a 1940s nurse would do that," Beckinsale said.
'Pearl Harbor,' which also starred Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, was Beckinsale's second role in a major Hollywood film following 1999's 'Brokedown Palace.'
