"Kate Beckinsale has revealed that she spent much of her youth feeling unattractive.  The Total Recall actress said that it took finding love with husband Len Wiseman to make her see herself as a beautiful woman.  &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t feel very attractive as a child, and actually I wasn&amp;#039;t. Feeling attractive didn&amp;#039;t come until I was 29 and with Len. Maybe it has to do with not having had a dad. I&amp;#039;d never experienced a father saying, &amp;#039;Oh, you look good&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Beckinsale explained in an interview with Allure. &amp;quot;If you have a good relationship with your dad, you have a chaperone in your own mind. I love my stepfather, but it&amp;#039;s different with a stepfather. &amp;quot;I probably waited until I had that feeling with somebody who was so madly attracted to me that I could sort of relax and aim it at him. And then it kind of exploded, and all of a sudden I was the sexiest woman alive.&amp;quot; However, the 38-year-old went on to insist that she does not pay much attention to praise from the public on her looks.  &amp;quot;I think the risk of being the sexiest woman alive is that you don&amp;#039;t want to ever have sex again. You don&amp;#039;t want to wear a bikini again. You want to wear some nice overalls and a trucker&amp;#039;s hat,&amp;quot; she joked. &amp;quot;Anyway, you&amp;#039;re only that for a year, and then you&amp;#039;re done. You&amp;#039;re old news. I don&amp;#039;t know who it is right now, but it&amp;#039;s not me.&amp;quot; Beckinsale, who is mother to a 13-year-old daughter, recently confessed that she is unsure whether she will have more children.
