I’m terrified of her,” she quipped. “Absolutely. It’s like I was on a talk show the other night and they were like ‘Hey how do you feel about wrapping Hamilton?’ I was like well she’d never speak to me again, so that’d be over. I’m trying to behave myself as best as I can.”This isn’t the first time Beckinsale has spoken candidly about her daughter’s time in college.In June, the actress, posted atext message exchangewith her Lily in which she learned her daughter is decidedlynotdoing any cocaine — despite a dream convincing the worried mom otherwise.“Are you doing a lot of cocaine?!?” Beckinsale asked.Lily was confused in her response.“um..??” she replied, adding, “i’m doing 0 cocaine. what is happening?? hello??”“I physically couldn’t be doing less cocaine,” Lily reiterated, still waiting for a response from her mom. “u can’t send me that and then go silent.”“I had a dream you were and i was so mad,” Beckinsale said, explaining that, like many moms, she feared the worst after a dream about her child.In response to her mother’s overreaction, Lily texted back, “you are a LUNATIC.”“Worth checking in case had suddenly become soothsayer in sleep,” Beckinsale captioned the photo of their conversation on Instagram.
