Kate Beckinsale his out at troll after posting funny snap cradling cat Clive in a baby sling

Kate Beckinsale delivers an epic put down after troll accuses her of trying too hard to be ‘eccentric’ with funny snap cradling cat Clive in a baby sling

Her beloved cat Clive is often the focus of her social media posts.

So Kate Beckinsale didn’t hold back when a troll accused her of trying too hard to be ‘eccentric’ with her latest feline-themed snap. 

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the 47-year-old actress shared a hilarious snap cradling her pet puss in a baby sling that she captioned: ‘is Canada ready tho [sic]’.

Although the post garnered more than 100,000 likes and praise from her celebrity pals, Kate did find herself under fire from trolls. 

As one commented: ‘You pride yourself on being eccentric, the whole thing smacks of to much effort’, Kate clapped back in reference to their profile picture, ‘omg it’s too funny you saying that with that hair do’. 

Another follower compared Kate to fictional supernatural villain Slender Man, commenting: ‘U shape like a sexy slender man’. 

Taking the backhanded compliment in her stride, the actress quipped: ‘literally what I was aiming for’.

In November, Kate was left ‘heartbroken’ when her 11-year-old Maltese-Chihuahua Ingrid died. 

Paying tribute to the pup, she shared a sweet picture cradling her pet, captioned: ‘Ingrid 2009-2020. Heartbroken. She fought so hard for months. Fly safe our sweetest sweetest girl.’

Kate will next be seen on screens in Jolt, an action-comedy about a homicidal bouncer with an anger management problem that she controls with the help of an electrode-lined vest she uses to shock herself back to normalcy.

The Tanya Wexler directed film also stars Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox and Stanley Tucci and is expected to be released next year.

Kate will also star in El Tonto an upcoming comedy film written and directed by Charlie Day, that follows a silent character who becomes an accidental celebrity only to lose it all.
