The 39-year-old actress, who has 13-year-old daughter Lily with ex-partner Michael Sheen, said that her teenage child is not bothered by her exploits in Hollywood, reported Contactmusic.
"I'm still allowed to hold her hand sometimes. Mostly she just goes, 'Oh that was great, well done' and then she goes back on Tumblr, or whatever it is that they do, and talks to her mates. She very much sees me as her mum and the other stuff is secondary," she said.
Being motherly does not come difficult to Beckinsale, who is now married to director Len Wiseman, as she particularly enjoys spending time baking.
"I'm better at baking than dinner. I just like making cakes, cookies and brownies," she added.
