Quote by Kate Beckinsale
I think what's dangerous about being an actor who does action movies is you think, 'Well, I can totally handle myself now.' But if my opponent didn't know the other half of the routine, I don't know how well I'd do.
Summary
This quote highlights the potential danger and misconception faced by actors who primarily perform action roles. It suggests that through intense physical training and rehearsal of fight scenes, actors may start to believe they possess real combat skills. However, the quote raises doubt about whether an actor would fare well in a real-life confrontation where their opponent deviates from the choreographed routine. It serves as a cautionary reminder that proficiency in staged action sequences does not necessarily translate into genuine fighting ability.
