Hollywood stars often become the "faces" of Russian business.
Recently, Kate Beckinsale was surprised to learn that her photograph is adorned with the banner of a company that installs security and video surveillance systems in the Urals. Half of the banner is occupied by photographs of Kate in the image of her character Celine from the movie "Underworld".

The actress found this picture on the Web and shared it on her Instagram. However, she did not resent the illegal use of her photograph and joked instead. “So, continuing the week of unexpected turns, I opened my own video surveillance business in the Urals,” Kate wrote ironically.

Beckinsale speaks a little Russian, and at the university she studied Russian literature, so among her audience there are especially many Russian-speaking users who laughed at the advertising banner.
“This is hilarious, of course”, “We have a lot of such banners around the country with you”, “We are waiting for Statham to get rid of all Russian advertising with his participation”, “Ha ha ha, Russia!”, “And it's a shame, and funny "," And how much did Stealth Group pay for advertising with you? ", - users write in the comments.

Earlier this year, Kate got closer to her Russian-speaking audience by reading an excerpt from the play The Seagull in Russian. The actress chose the role of Nina Zarechnaya and shot a funny video in which she showed how she was rehearsing a scene in her yard with a Russian-speaking repairman.
