Kate Beckinsale: 'If there were journalists live in a police state'

Actress Kate Beckinsale portrays journalist Simone Ford in the movie 'The Face of an Angel', inspired by the true story of Amanda Knox, accused of murdering Meredith Kercher in Perugia (Italy) in 2007, a role has allowed her to learn to value the importance of the profession.

"It was strange for me to play the role of a journalist but I quickly realized how important it was for my character that people give him information. There is something obscene, it has only to do with the clothes you saw in court. If we had journalists live in a police state, "he said during an interview in The Guardian.

Kate believes that actors and journalists share some characteristics that differentiate them from the rest, as both are able to observe situations and emotionally rid of events, making people erroneously a negative impression of what they do is take.

"I think it's also true that journalists and actors share some qualities. It's like when you're having a very heated argument with your boyfriend and you end up breaking it. For an actor remains a distance from which you are observing what is happening and you think, 'This is how it looks and feels when you break up with someone' I think that journalists have the same ability to step back and see things from a different perspective and this just does not make a journalist.. **** as one gili, nor an actor, "he added.
