Underworld star Kate Beckinsale was stunned to discover journalists lead similar lives to the stars they write about, after researching for her new role as a reporter.

The British actress plays a newshound who exposes a CIA informant in Nothing But The Truth, and spent time with real-life Los Angeles Times writers to prepare for the part.

She says, “I went to the LA Times to follow around some to the journalist girls there. I was so sure I would see all the different ways their jobs were so unlike mine. I was more struck by the similarities. It’s such a vocational profession where you’re passionate about your work and you’re married to another journalist, or someone who is passionate about journalism. It felt very similar.”
