Kate Beckinsale - Kate Beckinsale: 'Fifty Shades Film Will Be Exhausting'

The British actress has emerged as one of the fan favourites to play Anastasia Steele in the racy big screen version of E.L. James' hit erotic novel, but she's not sure she wants the job.

She tells HollyScoop.com, "I haven't read it... but the whole idea of that sounds very exhausting to me."

Should she land the raunchy role, Beckinsale will be employing the same simple hygiene tactics she uses on the red carpet at big premieres and events.

The beautiful Brit adds, "Make sure you have deodorant on."
