Beckinsale explained that she initially thought her daughter’s boyfriend was just looking for attention until she noticed that, similarly to an egg, whatever had passed through his body had a “shell” and a “yolk” when opened.

“Hold on a second,” host Jimmy Kimmel said. “An egg came out of his body?”

According to Beckinsale, yes. “Not out of his mouth or ears, it came out the route that it would come out of a hen,” Beckinsale replied. “Well, not his vagina. He went to the bathroom and was very surprised to find that he had laid an egg.”

        If only it were so simple, particularly in a profession that is historically ageist. It’s a fuckin shame what she did to her face, but there was no small amount of pressure from a number of angles that caused her to do that.

              No, but the industry in which she works gives people, especially women, less work if they’ll aren’t at peak attractiveness. Less work means less money. I don’t really know her acting beyond her Underworld movies, but it’s less than compared to Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Emma Thompson, and Helen Mirren. Those ladies have lasted because of their fantastic acting, despite letting their age show.

              I’m not saying I agree with the industry’s choice. I actually think naturally aging women are really beautiful and hate the fake looks. I’m just saying if she wants to be competitive in her industry, she may feel she needs to do it. Also, she might like looking young. I try not to judge people for it, it’s just not my preference.

              It’s a picture comparing faces with comments talking about faces. Faces on actors are an important aspect. Faces do the talking. This isn’t your “gotcha” moment unless your goal is to debate in bad faith. Holding someone to your beauty standards is no different than someone adhering to someone else’s beauty standards

                You use a term like “beauty standard” as if this is a real thing that applies to everyone and not something manufactured by an attention-based industry.

                If people believe she is only worth her face, then I guess she is. Except, I don’t think everyone thinks like that, even if people (especially those trying to exploit her labor) have made her feel like they do.

    To prove her claim, Beckinsale pulled out her phone and showed images of the alleged eggs to Kimmel and his sidekick, Guillermo. “I’m not showing you because it’s a little bit gross,” she advised the audience. “It’s quite medical.”

    So, she has pictures of her daughter’s boyfriend’s asshole on her phone. Presumably stretched open by an egg.

    Beckinsale said the family next reached out to a series of doctors, who passed the story along to their similarly confused colleagues.

    “All of them basically said it was some sort of complicated masturbation thing, which it wasn’t,” she said.

    Narrator: “It was.”

    “I said to him, ‘Is this some kind of attention-seeking? Are you putting eggs up your bottom?’” she said. “But I think it’s quite hard to put an egg up your bottom and then get it out whole without injuring the egg. I mean, I think that’s a skill.”

    Yes, he’s obviously had a lot of practice.

    The article is strongly suggesting that Beckinsale is making the story up as her own attention-seeking behavior, but it sounds much more like the boy has more than one kink. Everything in the story points to this.

    Lots of guys have the kink to shove random objects into their asshole, or so I’ve heard. But fewer of them have a kink to show off pictures of their asshole to their girlfriend’s mother. That guy probably injured his dick whacking off from seeing that a famous guy like Kimmel saw the picture.

      “But I think it’s quite hard to put an egg up your bottom and then get it out whole without injuring the egg."

      Yes it’s quite hard to accomplish that so the most likely scenario must be that a human is laying eggs. 🤦‍♂️

        Kimmel is super famous right now, though. The president keeps mentioning him and trying to get him fired. Kimmel even mentioned that based on Trump’s messages, he must be watching the show while it’s on air.
