Keira was forced to smoke cigarettes and talk about sex - Nov 11, 2020
Keira Knightley was forced to smoke cigarettes and talk about sex with her mother when she was growing up. The beautiful actress admits her mum is "a bit mental" and says her childhood was unusual.
The 20-year-old said: "My mother and I would always talk about sex. She’d come up to my room and have me roll cigarettes for her and then tell me I had to have one with her. "Not the typical mother-daughter thing. But we’re extremely close. My mother’s a bit mental - in a good way. She’s a chilled-out hippie."
Meanwhile the young actress has done her sexiest fashion shoot to date. Keira, who flashes her right breast in Esquire magazine, insists she’s fine with going topless - she will never show her butt on camera. She said: "I don’t mind about the boobs, not the butt... I’m a woman. There’s no reason to it."

She kept asking her friends, ’Where is Jamie? I’ve got to find him."
Last month Keira vowed never to have plastic surgery. The screen beauty insists she would never go under the surgeon’s knife to improve her looks after being put off by TV show ’Dr 9-0-0’, which documents real-life cosmetic operations. She said: "Plastic surgery is brutal. There’s this awful show, ’Dr 9-0-0’, that shows people doing plastic surgery and it’s brutal. It kind of makes you go, ’Are you all mad?’ I couldn’t go through with it. I’m not into pain and all that."

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).
