Kate Beckinsale showcases a bloody lip as she shares snaps from action flick Canary Black in Croatia

Kate Beckinsale took to Instagram on Saturday to get a behind-the-scenes look at the set of her latest action movie Canary Black, which is being shot in Croatia.

The actress, 49, wore a stunt suit and realistic make-up with a bloody gash on her lip and cheek.

In the film, from the makers of Taken and starring Liam Neeson, Kate plays top-level CIA agent Avery Graves, who is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country in order to save her kidnapped husband.

In an instant, the British star held up her dark jumper to reveal the intricate white body armor underneath.

Staring playfully into the camera, she sported a radiant makeup palette while her dark brown locks were styled in a loose wave.

Kate then posed for a close-up to show off her fictional cuts and bruises, before revealing a real-life injury.

The stunner held out her arm, revealing a heavily swollen finger and wrist that she appeared to be holding up during filming.

Kate playfully captioned the post: “TGIF [Thank god it’s Friday].

On Thursday, the actress took to her social media again to share a hysterical video as she “celebrated” Thanksgiving.

In her dressing room on the Croatian set, she woke up a sleeping crew member by shoving her buttocks into his face.

Wearing a tan sweater and form-fitting black leggings, the Underworld star suppressed her giggles as she attempted to lower her bum onto the man’s face, only to wake him up in total bewilderment.

She wrote: “We are English so we don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving, but we like to ‘slap our dearest friends in the face’ if they happen to fall asleep with us”.

“Borrow and Happy Thanksgiving”
