10 Actors Who Were Directed By Their Husbands
3. Kate Beckinsale W/ Len Wiseman - Underworld Series
Most of these have been pretty innocent so far, you know we had to find some awkward story eventually... So, Kate Beckinsale met her future husband Les Wiseman while on set for 2003's Underworld. She starred, he directed, no big deal right? Well, Kate had been in a long-term relationship with Michael Sheen at the time, with a 4 year-old daughter at the time, so there's that.
Beckinsale split with Sheen and she was quick to marry Wiseman just one year later in 2004, and everyone returned for the 2006 sequel Underworld: Evolution. Her and Sheen's daughter was even used for scenes depicting a younger version of her character, Selena.
She later starred in Wiseman's remake of Total Recall (2012) then returned to the Underworld franchise for Awakening 2012 and Blood Wars (2016), however her husband was only in a producer role. Her marriage to Wisemen ultimately didn't last and they divorced in 2019, some 15 years after tying the knot.
