Why Kate Beckinsale Asked Her Daughter If She Was Using a Ton of Cocaine

Kate Beckinsale wants to make sure her daughter isn't doing drugs, or at least not "a lot" of them.

On Tuesday, the actress shared a shot on Instagram of a hilarious text conversation between her and her 20-year-old daughter Lily Mo Sheen. In the conversation, Beckinsale asked Lily, who she shares with ex Michael Sheen, how much cocaine she was doing.

"Are you doing a lot of cocaine?!?" Beckinsale asked.

Lily, who seemed confused, replied with multiple messages, wanting to know what was going on.

"um..??" she replied, adding, "I'm doing 0 cocaine. what is happening?? hello??"

When Beckinsale still didn't respond, Lily added, "I physically couldn't be doing less cocaine" and "u can't send me that and then go silent."

The truth was then revealed: Beckinsale apparently had a dream where Lily was abusing the drug.

"I had a dream you were and i was so mad," she wrote. Lily called out her mom on her bizarre message and replied, "you are a LUNATIC."

"Worth checking in case had suddenly become soothsayer in sleep," she wrote in the caption as by way of explanation.

After the post became a trending story, Beckinsale added, then deleted, more remarks in her caption where she reiterated neither she or her daughter are doing coke.

"*UPDATE : Various tabloids have seized the word 'cocaine' in order to stir shit and get everybody going," she wrote in the since-deleted caption. "If you replaced my first text with 'Are you dating Trevor McDonald?', based on a dream, I don't think anyone would extrapolate that she was, or that I was, or that we both were."

"I am in fact dating Trevor Macdonald and I like to keep it discreet which is why I didn't post about it on Instagram," she added. "PS when the text is blue, it's me. Right, off to sext Trevor."
