OlderKeira Knightley - “Elle” December 2007
Keira Knightley takes the December 2007 cover of Elle Magazine, which hits newsstands nationwide next Tuesday, Nov. 13.
She may look for all the world like an old-school film beauty, but Keira has a spiky, anarchic streak that breaks the mold. In Atonement, she gets to have it both ways. Here are some snippets from Keira’s Elle interview:
On the tabloids: “What I hate is that they shove in your face: this is what you want to be. And you think, f—k that. I don’t want it. Stop telling me I want to look like her. Stop telling me I want that life. I don’t.”
On being moody: “I’m a moody bastard. Actually, I’ve been banned from reading newspapers because the way they’re written angers me so much. If I want an opinion, I’ll read the opinion part of the newspaper. I do not want it when I’m trying to get the facts. I get incredibly angry. It really f—ks me off. See, I have to calm down about it.”
On her sex scene in upcoming movie, “Atonement”: “There was no knob-touching, for real. But it certainly looked like that.”
On the word cute: “I hate cute, I’ve always hated cutesy. My mom used to ban the word cute. Absolutely banned.”
On romantic comedies: “I’m a total romantic- I love romantic films. But I don’t like being raped by sugar.”
On cell phones: “I hate them. It rings, and then I realize that I don’t want to talk to anyone. So I always press ignore.”
On becoming aware of her sexual powers: “Oh, my god. I don’t think I’m aware of it now! No… I’m lying. I don’t know why I said that. No, I’m not lying, actually. I’ll just have an argument with myself!”

She is always complaining, spoil brat that she is! Go to University then and get a new career if what u do is so bad!
Ironing board you’re so harsh but that is just so true what a pretentious mommy little girl i prefer the others stupid%%%%%%% at least we have more fun with them……..
She is a good looking woman and good actress but dang, she comes off as annoying and pretentious in every single interview.
She is sooooo vulgar! How could anyone ever call her classy or elegant?! She looks like a common prostitute on the 4th picture.
She is such an unsophisticated grump! She has chosen acting career and ought to know what it means. After so many years in the business u just have to get used to certain aspects of it, even if don’t like it. Otherwise, change the job.
I can’t stop wondering how she dared to be that mouthy in a magazine like Elle. It is not even that she complains (everybody does so) but the vulgar language and her f***-u-all attitude!
I thought it was a man on the cover. Why her face looks so masculine? I won’t even pay attention to that grumpy attitude that’s not even interesting. Can somebody please give a sweet to keira like this she might going to sit her ***** down.
Will this biotch ever stop whining? I hear lack of food makes people grumpy. She should try eating something.
DID SHE PLUMP HER LIPS?
i love Keira,i think that she is a very great actress and a very carismatic girl!!!!
I think its a toss up between her and Evangeline Lilly for who whines the most in interviews. Both of them need to learn how to shut their mouth.
I think that Keira is just speaking her mind (nothing sugar coated or held back) and being as real as someone can be as a very famous actor. And therefore you guys are not used to this and see her as being b@#%^ among other horrible things just because she’s not like lindsay lohan who sugar coats probably everything she says or else we would be shocked by the filthiness of who she really is. Many people can accept the ridiculous fakeness of Paris hiltons and Lindsay Lohans but they can’t shed some light on the truth that is spoken from Keira’s article. Read the whole article because justjared only takes the most negative and extreme comments from the article in his post. She really reveals to us what it is really like to have an intimate scene rather just being like “oh it was awkward, and the crew watched us” she actually shows the inside scoop of acting and the art and craft of acting. She prefers to stay real and that is what I find to be extremely admirable and surprising in this industry today.
lol! “fish lips”…that’s funny. anyway, i used to think she was pretty…but she lost a lot of weight or something because now she just looks weird. And i didn’t realize how b*tchy she is…until she started doing all these interviews where she’s just bitchin, bitchin, and bitchin about everything. Good lord…what’s up with that? -_-;
Well sorry but I won’t pay to see the all article because I am sure that’s it must be boring like her. Her face looks beyond fug, and why on earth is she moaning again ? she is the one who need to take “chill pill” I was sure she was happy with her fug Orlando wanabee but I guess, she be won’t Happy until she gets the real one. But i don’t see this hapening anytime soon Because Orlando like them sweet and hot with a little bit more meat on. What a stupid and ridiculous interview does she think being vulgar= being cool? What a douche
May I suggest to that trout to not speak her mind next time. this interview is just a pure joke blah blah blah and blah blah blah I thought she was nice and inteligent but after this I think I’ll pass her next movie can’t look at that trout mouth anymore. If only she could put something in her mouth (like food for example) it will keep her busy.
pretentious? Ever met a European?
’scuse the girl for having a personality
look like an old film star? WHAT OLD FILM STARS LOOK LIKE THAT!? I am so bloody tired of people attaching this kind of flowery rubbish to modern day women. Whoever wrote that is a moron.
What a stupid comment I am european and guess what? I think she is stupid she has no class at all. An american can also reconize if a person is a pretentious b**** or not. If you think european are wiser why are you on an american gossip ’site? some people are just so hmmm lets say bizarre.
I never understood why she’s so-called a pretty, beautiful, and talented actress. She’s too tall and has large bone structure- that’s why she starves herself to death. She’s ok when she has her mouth closed, but she looks really weird when she smiles. And I do not find her acting good either. The only movies I’ve seen (starring her) are Pirates series, but her acting is well, a bit immature. Some say she looks like Winona Ryder, but hell no. I’ve seen Ryder for reals and she is absolutely one of the most beautiful women I’ve seen so far. She’s more feminine and has a great voice too. And was really good at acting when she was about Kiera’s age. I feel bad for her though, her career could’ve been at the top still, if that shoplifting incident had not happened. Oh well. Sometimes I really don’t understand what the deal is with Hollywood, I mean some do get away with worse cases like drugs and affairs.
Imj with #2 regina, and #5 marie. said what I thought.
she’s being banned from so much. can whoever the heck’s banning her also ban her from opening her mouth?
my fav actress! *sigh* she looks killer! :D
I have only seen a handful of Keira’s movies, and from what I can tell, she has talent. But, geez, she can come across as extremely ungrateful, with her pay cheque and what she does to earn such a huge amount of money, if she doesn’t like what comes with it, then quit and get a real job… it’s as easy as that!
she is really funny sometimes I feel like I know her very well!
go keira!
She sounds like a real ***** to me! What an awful attitude towards everything! Keira for the love of God just eat something!All that moodiness is because she is starves herself!
gees!! she needs to calm down!! She looks like an unhappy person and about the word cute…Weird!!!! maybe she doesn’t like that word because she is not cute!!lol
ok but she is a good actress!
Okay, she’s gotten really annoying. Her deal is to act like what a teenager thinks is rebellious. She says she hates everything, cusses, wears black liner a lot, and sticks it to the man. Whoop-dee-friggin’-doo. This chick is completely unoriginal. She’s every girl in my little sister’s inner circle who just discovered Cat Power and now are convinced they’re the most original and edgy people. EVER.
This is the downside to becoming famous so young: they’re usually mentally, socially and emotionally retarded.
“What I hate is that they shove in your face: this is what you want to be.”
See how dumb she is? Doesn’t she get that *she* is the uber-thin chick on the cover of the *fashion magazine*? *She’s* the chick we keep having shoved down our throats as the ideal woman. My ideal woman is smarter and self-possessed. My ideal woman doesn’t give pretentious interviews. My ideal woman doesn’t think that pairing mannish boots with dresses makes her “quirky”, nor would that ever be her incentive for wearing a particular outfit.
