Keira hires body double ? June 05
Despite possessing the kind of figure most women would give their right arm for, it?s been revealed that Keira used a body double for nude scenes in new film, Domino.

The actress voted the world?s sexiest star employed the services of a former ballerina for more revealing shots because she didn?t feel comfortable stripping off for her role as model-turned-bounty hunter, Domino Harvey.

Filming for the movie, due out later this year, has been pretty eventful for the actress. During one action sequence she received a pretty nasty burn after being hit by a stray bullet.

Keira?s spot of bother ? May 05
She may be a Hollywood star but even Keira Knightley has bad skin days. The actress tells Heat magazine, ?I?ve got really awful skin. It?s about four hours of make-up actually. And I have a very good dermatologist.?

And her tip for flawless skin? ?Wash (your make up) off when you get home otherwise you?ll get acne.?

It sounds like Keira could do with heeding her own advice - word reaches us that movie bosses had to dip into the special effects budget for Keira?s new flick Pride and Prejudice in order to digitally remove the actress?s acne after make-up failed to disguise it.

Keira as folk - Feb 05
Keira Knightley has been slammed for acting role as a heterosexual. Her up coming film, Domino, portrays model turned bounty hunter Domino Harvey as straight and includes graphic sex scenes, when in fact the real Domino is a proud lesbian - and a furious one at that. Harvey has spoken out against the cast and crew of the movie, fuming that she is being portrayed as something she’s not and, more to the point, that she hasn’t even been consulted about the project, much less asked permission.

Keep it in the family - Feb 05
Keira Knightley’s mum gets in on the act. Former actress Sharman MacDonald has told press that she has written a play but is reluctant to ask her daughter to star in it. Sharman says she is concerned that if the play were to get negative press it would damage Keira’s career.

Keira’s not with Adrien - August 04

Adrien Brody has furiously denied rumours of a fling with Keira Knightley.

"We were said to be having intimate, candlelit pasta dinners in my apartment. But that’s not true. We ate together a couple of times because we were working, but it never went further than that" The Oscar winning actor fumed. Both Keira and Adrien are in relationships so press speculation over their non-existent affair during the filming of their latest movie has angered both them and their partners.

No one chats up Keira - March 04
She may be the rising star of the screen but apparently she doesn’t get chatted up much in public and feels she probably disappoints those who meet her.

She told Vanity Fair magazine: "Maybe it’s because I’m too thick to realise but very few people have chatted me up. "And maybe I’m just a sad person and I don’t sit at enough bars. But that’s OK - I’ve got time."

The 18-year-old actress says she thinks the public feel let down when they meet her because they hope to meet someone groomed and polished. "I think I always disappoint people. Because they always expect someone very pretty, very done"

The actress is moving out of her parent’s home in Teddington, Middlesex for her own place in Chelsea. When asked if she would hire a P.A, she sensibly said "If I got an assistant now, I think my growing up would stop at 18, and that kind of terrifies me."

Biography

Daughter to actors Will Knightley and Sharman MacDonald, Keira was first in a film at the age of 11, in A Village Affair (’94). In ’99 Hollywood knocked on her door with a role in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace as Padme’s double.

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).
