"when the bottom falls out of your world the only response after crying till you’re sick is your own bottom," the actress wrote
Kate Beckinsale is laughing through her grief.
On Monday, July 1, the 50-year-old English actress posted a video of her in a high-rise that showed her sticking her bare buttocks on a window, mooning London department store Harvey Nichols.
In the caption, she explained that she made the move after the June 2023 death of her cat Clive and receiving "horrific news."
"The day after Clive died and I received some of the most horrific news I’ve ever received that next morning - sometimes there’s nothing for it but for your friend to show up as hard as possible and spend the evening making prank calls and mooning Harvey Nichols," wrote Beckinsale.
