If you thought you’d heard everything Hollywood has to offer, think again. Kate Beckinsale just dropped what might be the strangest story ever told on late-night television, and people are absolutely baffled.
During her Monday (November 24, 2025) night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the 52-year-old actress casually revealed that her daughter Lily Mo Sheen‘s boyfriend supposedly laid not one, but two eggs within the span of a week. Yes, you read that correctly—actual eggs.
The bizarre confession came up while Beckinsale was discussing the difficult couple of years her family has endured following the deaths of both her parents. Looking for any silver lining she could find, the actress explained that the only bright spot during this dark period came from this absolutely mind-boggling situation. “He laid two eggs in a week is what the bright spot was,” she told a clearly confused Kimmel.
When the talk show host naturally asked what she meant, Beckinsale dove into the details. According to her, her daughter’s boyfriend—whom she didn’t name but who is reportedly from New Jersey—went to the bathroom one day and discovered he had apparently laid an egg. Not from his mouth or any other unusual place, but exactly how it would emerge from a hen, she clarified.
At first, the Underworld star thought the whole thing was fabricated or exaggerated. She’d been dealing with her mother’s cancer diagnosis at the time and initially brushed it off. “It had a shell and a yolk,” she insisted to Kimmel. The boyfriend was genuinely terrified when it happened, crushing the egg to investigate what was inside. What he found was even stranger—a hard-boiled yolk that appeared cooked.
Then it happened again. Roughly a week later, while Lily was on a plane and unable to receive the photos her boyfriend was sending, Kate Beckinsale received them instead. She showed them to Kimmel and his sidekick, Guillermo, during the interview, though she refused to display them to the audience because they were too medical and graphic. Kimmel’s jaw-dropping reaction said it all. “Your daughter’s boyfriend is the Easter Bunny, there’s no other explanation,” he exclaimed.
Naturally, Beckinsale wanted answers. She reached out to multiple doctors she knew, who then consulted their medical school colleagues. Before long, it seemed like half of America was trying to solve this medical mystery. The theories ranged from sleep medication causing midnight snacking to accidentally eating whole lychees. Some medical professionals suggested it might be related to some form of complicated sexual activity, but Beckinsale firmly shot that down.
The actress admitted she even questioned whether the boyfriend was putting eggs in his body for attention, but his genuine fear during both incidents convinced her otherwise. He reportedly even saw doctors about the situation, though no one could provide a definitive explanation.
Despite how absolutely wild the story sounds, Beckinsale maintained that it served as a much-needed distraction during an incredibly challenging time for her family. Sometimes the universe delivers exactly the kind of absurdity you need to cope with tragedy, even if that absurdity involves inexplicable egg-laying.
Kimmel wrapped up the segment by encouraging viewers and medical professionals to share their theories, even suggesting that perhaps the boyfriend deserves his own reality show. After all, in his words, the show has been running for a very long time, and this might be the strangest story they’ve ever featured.
