Keira Knightley sat down with
W magazine and spoke about what it was like being accused publicly for having anorexia and breaking the heart of ex-boyfriend model
Jamie Dornan. Hottie
James McAvoy also fessed up about Keira's stinky feet. :)--
KEIRA KNIGHTLEYON BEING A STABLE AND CONFIDENT YOUNG ACTRESS... "From a very young age I realized that you didn't get parts if you acted like a child. So even at seven I remember picking a way to behave, a way that worked. Though in my personal life I don't think I'm particularly mature. I don't particularly want to be mature!"
ON DIRECTORS WIDELY UNDERESTIMATING HER AS AN ACTRESS UNTIL VERY RECENTLY... "I was already so aware that that was how everybody felt. I think if you're actually honest about it, then we can have a discussion, and I can actually do something. But if nothing is said, you're going to go away with the same opinion, and I'm going to go away feeling s--- about myself."
ON HAVING TROUBLE CONVINCING DIRECTOR JOHN MAYBERRY TO LET HER AUDITION FOR THE LEAD IN THE JACKET (2005) WHICH SHE EVENTUALLY GOT... "He said to me very plainly, "I don't think you can act. I don't want you in this film.'"
ON PARTYING THE NIGHT BEFORE HER W INTERVIEW... "I tried to get **** so I could sleep in, but I still woke up at eight. I'm so hungover."
ON TAKING SIX MONTHS OFF IN EARLY 2007... "It got to the point where you just get tired, and then you start to forget what you love about what you do. I wanted to be able to say to my friends, "Yes, I will be there for your birthday.' I was having that discombobulated feeling of being homesick but not knowing what I was homesick for."
ON OSCAR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FILM ATONEMENT... "If the film gets awards or anything, great, but if it doesn't, it certainly doesn't devalue the project.----
JAMES MCAVOYON FEELING PRESSURE TO WIN AWARDS... "I won't lie and say that I'm completely unfazed by it all. I am fazed by it all. I want the movie to do really well, and I want it to win lots of Oscars and BAFTAs, and I want it to win the adulation of every single member of the human race. But at the same time I would hate to think that any of us should feel any less proud simply because it didn't garner lots of awards. So it's a strange conflict. There's a part of me that wants to forget all of these things, and there's a part of me that can't." It doesn't help, he says, that he's spent the past two and a half weeks being asked about how it feels to be an Oscar hopeful. "Journalists keep telling you, "Sooo, I hear Oscar!' And you're like, "Oh really? Great.'"
ON WORKING WITH KEIRA KNIGHTLEY... "She has smelly feet! I'm just kidding. Please don't put that in."
ON DOING MAGAZINE SHOOTS... "I do find it strange, doing magazine shoots. Photographers always go, "Why don't you like to have your picture taken? That's what you do for a living anyway. Just pretend you're acting. It's the same thing!' And I'm like, "No, it's f---ing not! Give me a script then. Or tell you what, how about if I just stand here, and you pretend I'm acting? Would that make it easier for you?'"
ON PARTYING THE NIGHT BEFORE THE W INTERVIEW... "I didn't get in till five. There was really good dancing. We dominated the dance floor. And I lost my phone. Some woman named Stephanie picked it up in a car. I've been spending the whole morning on the phone going, "Stephanie? Stephanie? Can you hear me? It's a bad connection but don't hang up!'"
ON JOURNALISTS... "I had one guy, and I'm not going to tell you who it was because he's quite well known, say, in a TV segment, "So, Atonement, it's about as hot as a bucket of chicken with biscuits on the side!' I don't even know what that means. But I'm not going to moan on about journalists anymore. Sorry about that."For more of the interview, please visit
W magazine.
Well thats a way to say I am a professional and want to make a good impression in an interview .... stay up all nite partying. Its like they are saying W we think you are garbage and we are hoping for any way possible to skip this horror of having to meet with you. Both these "actors" slip further down my respect scale.
lol I just read the cover - "Hot and talented Kiera and James show Hollywood how its done" How what is done exactly? Show little regard for a work related project you have booked the next morning? He looks like a morose 14 year old. At least the photoshoppers had something to work with lol
Aww I like Keira. I think she is really beautiful. I do think she is too thin, though. She is a really great actress.
Well, I think she is ok but kind of thin. But she does look cool
agree anonymous
shes a confident young woman... i like that!! Shes too thin, but she has a beautiful face. She was sooooooooo beautiful in the first pirates.
I happen to really like Keira Knightley! I have loved all of the movies I have seen her in. She really is a talented actress. A bit of a smart-ass but so I am. :) I think she would be fun to have a few drinks with! I cant wait to see Atonement
PS These pictures of her are horrible!
I love Keira because she just seems a little different than all these blonde clones Hollywood is producing these days.
That said, I HATE the clothes and hairstyle of this shoot. really unflattering.
I really enjoy her movies, she always protrays her charaters beautifully.
As for James McAvoy..there is no earthly reason why he should make women swoon. But there is just something about him that is So attractive!!
what is under her belly button?
cebreties are incredibly shallow, self centered useless people.
Geez why is everyone being so mean. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. Keira is not an exception.
she looks like death.
sasha I think is time for you to go change that dirty tampon...you reak!
she looks like a dead corpse
I think Keira is a very good looking young woman. But what have the people at W magazine done to her? She looks terrible on the cover... and her expression is just weird.
It is just amazing how the film industry keeps on hiring girls like this...I mean...girls who represent the model of a SICK woman. I´m not going to comment about her acting skills, cos I don´t know about that. You may like her acting or not, but undoubtedly, she doesn´t have to be the model of a modern, successful, healthy woman at all.
"Keira...it is more than obvious that you are anorexic. Who do you think we are??? ´We don´t want women models like you!"
i think shes beautfil,but she iz 2 thin.If people get 2 know her better & her personattly,you may think differantly.Its jusy not right 2 jude her by the way she looks.
Crystal iz so right about what sh said.....!!!!!
you all are ****ing psychos.
get a life.
ryan seacrest said the chicken and biscuit thing...that stupid bastard
