London: British actress Kate Beckinsale, who plays Ava Gardner in Martin Scorsese's Blockbuster biopic The Aviator, wants to go back to university.
The mother-of-one's acting career has taken off with the role in one of the year's most talked about movies but that does not stop her dreaming of a degree.
"If I had the opportunity I'd love to go back to university," she told Reuters on Saturday.
"I'm 31 years old and if I'm going to go back to college. . . then it's probably time to do it now. I never did finish university so that's always been. . . unfinished business."
Beckinsale went to Oxford University to study French and Russian literature but left before graduating after a promising acting career took priority.
The actress has been quoted recently as saying she would like to train to become a doctor but she played down the possibility and sought to dispel the impression that her acting career has lost its allure.
"I'm not in any terrible depression. Career-wise I'm happier than I've ever been. I've just worked with Scorsese and Leonardo (DiCaprio) and that's all great.
Beckinsale's next project is a sequel to Underworld, a film directed by her husband Len Wiseman in which she plays a beautiful vampire warrior.
"I love that I can go from a Scorsese movie to revisiting a character that I should never be playing, because I'm so unathletic."
