Milla Jovovich has revealed that she mistook her growing baby bump for a beer belly during the early stages of her pregnancy.

The Resident Evil actress, who is due to give birth in the next few days, assumed she was putting on weight as a result of drinking too much alcohol.

She said: "It was almost six and a half weeks before I put two and two together, which was funny because my belly was getting big. I had no idea. It looked in the mirror like I'd drunk too many beers."

The 31-year-old has gained five stone since falling pregnant by her fiancé, Resident Evil writer and producer Paul W.S. Anderson.
