Kate Beckinsale has revealed that she used to have a picture of Robert De Niro on her fridge.

The British actress told Moviehole that she found the experience of working with the legendary actor on upcoming film Everybody's Fine "very intimidating".

She said: "I was kind of intimidated, because I had a picture of him on my fridge at university, so I was a bit shifty about that."

The 35-year-old recalled feeling "creepy" about having idolised De Niro and then having to act opposite him.

"You sort of feel like you have to confess that to somebody," she said. "There's sort of a slightly creepy thing to it."
