Beckinsale, said on the “Graham Norton Show” that the director said some not-so-flattering comments about her appearance.

“I don’t think I fit the type of actress Michael Bay had met before,” Beckinsale said about the director who is notorious for his grumpy personality.

“I think he was baffled by me because my boobs weren’t bigger than my head and I wasn’t blonde,” said Beckinsale.
