Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Jackman appear to have maintained a friendship since they co-starred in Van Helsing. During a 2004 interview with Blackfilm.com, Beckinsale praised Jackman for being “the nicest guy in Hollywood.”

“Kate, you’re going to ruin my career,” Jackman joked.

“I checked you out,” Beckinsale said. “Believe me, I watched you for six months.”

Jackman added that working with Beckinsale and director Stephen Sommers on the film “was the most fun” he “ever had” on set.

“It was almost frighteningly free of tension, and there were no breakdowns,” Jackman added.

“I really did find that working with people like Stephen and Hugh made it possible to get through what I was going through,” Beckinsale added. “I had such a profound experience on this because they gave me freedom to just go. It was really liberating.”
