'Giant' Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale feels like a "giant" next to Eva Longoria.

Explaining there is no professional rivalry between the two friends, Kate said: "How could Eva and I be up for the same parts? She's tiny and I'm fascinated by tiny, little people. I haven't met her giant husband yet.

"Having said that, I feel like a giant. I've always felt a clunky girl. I could ski home on my feet!"

Kate is also friends with Victoria Beckham, who she met through Eva, and says the former Spice Girls star is "a hoot".

She added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I've been seeing a lot of Victoria Beckham. I met her through Eva Longoria and she seemed fun so I invited her to my husband Len's birthday party.

"Victoria is hilarious. That's the thing I like about her most. She's a hoot. She's also a very normal girl. We have a good laugh and it's great when suddenly people get your jokes and reference points. I had been missing an English friend with children who is my age.

"Len and David get on very well. David is an extremely sweet, nice man."
