Another source said: "Keira had a busy night making sure her tangled romantic life wasn’t the centre of attention. "Kaz was messed about all day. Keira sent him tickets for the film but got cold feet about him going to the party afterwards. "He left the screening and headed straight to her hotel. It was just as well too because Jamie was kicking about. He is still close to Keira so a confrontation between the two would have been a huge embarrassment."
Keira at the London premiere of ’Pride and Prejudice’ - Sept 05
Keira Knightley sent pulses racing at the London premiere of new movie ’Pride and Prejudice’ last night (06.09.05). The sexy actress, who arrived without pop star boyfriend Bodyrockers singer Kaz James, looked stunning in a low-cut purple dress combined with luscious new hair extensions..
When quizzed on where her lover was, the brunette star said: "My brother is my date tonight." Yesterday, Keira confessed she hates photographs of her being airbrushed to make her look sexier - even though she suffers from severe acne. The ’Pirates of the Caribbean’ actress - who is rumoured to have been digitally improved in the promotional posters for ’Pride and Prejudice’ - claims the much-used technique gives a false impression of how women should look to young girls.
However, Keira admits she would love it if her spots could be ’airbrushed’ before she went out shopping. She said: "I’m not too comfortable with the way I’m portrayed. It’s impossible to attain that level of perfection. "So if that’s the image you’re presenting and saying, ’This is what you should look like,’ then I don’t think that’s right because no body can look like that." "Although I do suffer from terrible acne, I wish they could change me in my day-to-day life."
Keira struggles to balance a relationship with her career - Sept 05
Keira Knightley has confessed she struggles to balance a relationship with her career. The beautiful actress, who recently split from her model boyfriend Jamie Dornan, admits she finds it hard to find a happy medium between work and romance. She revealed: "It’s hard to have a relationship when I’m working so much. But then you have to think, ’What is actually important in life?’ Is career your only thing? If it is, then it’s easy, but if it isn’t, that’s sad, because there’s going to come a day when you’re left lonely. It’s a difficult balance."
Meanwhile, Keira claims she hates her sexy long legs. The stunning actress told America’s Marie Claire magazine: "I like so many other people’s bodies. I like legs - I don’t like my legs. I hate my legs." The ’Pirates of the Caribbean’ star says she likes her toned stomach - but has moaned she can never show it off in photo shoots. She explained: "I like my stomach, but it’s really annoying because apparently, now, you’re not allowed to show your stomach, because it’s considered vulgar and fashion magazines say you can’t anymore."

She starred in The Princess of Thieves in ’01, and then in Bend It Like Beckham in ’02, where she played the role of a football-obsessed teenager alongside the lead actress Parminder Nagra. Because she had barely touched a football until then, Keira trained intensely for three full months, practicing tricks and ball handling, Brazilian style. As Bend It Like Beckham gained in popularity, so did Keira, making a name for herself.
It was not long before Jerry Bruckheimer, the famous Hollywood producer of blockbusters like Pearl Harbor, chose her for a leading role in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (’03), starring alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. The Pirates of the Caribbean went on to become a huge international box-office hit, bringing Keira’s fame to an international level.
Her latest appearance is as Guinevere in the new Disney adaptation of King Arthur’s tales. Hollywood seems to have taken a liking to her. As have Glamour magazine’s ’fashion analysts,’ who listed her as the fifth best-dressed female celebrity world-wide (Kate Moss came in number one, but she’s got about a decade of experience under the belt, if nothing else).
