In a recent episode of Conan O’Brien‘s talk show, actress Kate Beckinsale shared a rather unusual family tradition involving phallic-shaped fruits. During the interview, Beckinsale revealed that whenever she visits her mother’s house, she feels compelled to rearrange the fruit bowl to create a penis shape. This unconventional tradition has been going on for years and seems to be a lighthearted way for the family to express their humor.
When asked if everyone in her household is on board with this type of humor, Beckinsale admitted that her family is quite different from her own. In fact, she mentioned that her family is rather uptight and doesn’t engage in such jokes. However, Beckinsale emphasized that this tradition is not exclusive to her; it seems that every member of her family takes part in it.
Beckinsale went on to share an anecdote about her daughter, who recently visited an arts and crafts store with her husband. To Beckinsale’s surprise, her daughter found some pretend fruit and vegetables and decided to create a phallic shape with them. While Beckinsale acknowledged that it might not be appropriate for her 13-year-old daughter to engage in such activities, she also found humor in the fact that the family’s tradition is being passed down to the next generation.
As the conversation continued, Beckinsale revealed that the phallic-themed humor extends beyond just rearranging fruits. She recounted a particularly awkward moment during the filming of a movie in Montreal. Beckinsale’s makeup artist gifted her a large rubber penis, which she kept in her trailer. Beckinsale jokingly mentioned that it seemed to happen to her quite frequently as many of her gay friends also gifted her with similar items. The conversation took a hilarious turn as Beckinsale described the characteristics of the rubber penis, reassuring the audience that it was purely decorative and not functional.
In a surprising twist, Beckinsale decided to play a prank on her mother during her visit. Following a disagreement, Beckinsale strategically placed the rubber penis in her mother’s hand luggage as a way to lighten the mood. However, Beckinsale’s makeup artist was horrified by the prank and ended up calling her mother to inform her about the surprise waiting in her bag. Ultimately, Beckinsale’s mother had to figure out a way to discreetly dispose of the rubber penis before going through airport security.
While Kate Beckinsale‘s family tradition may sound unconventional, it’s clear that their unique sense of humor has created lasting memories and moments of laughter. Whether it’s rearranging fruits into phallic shapes or exchanging rubber penises as gag gifts, the Beckinsale family certainly knows how to find the humor in life. This hilarious anecdote shared on Conan O’Brien‘s talk show reminds us that every family has its own traditions, even if they might be a little unconventional.
