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!”

Also, #35. No no. I know what a real personality is like, apparently, unlike you. You use Paris Hilton as an example of what people must be used to and I can only assume you’re using an example you’re most familiar with? If so, very sad. Very, very sad.
Keira, first off, seems very affected. Look that word up if you need to. Secondly, who cares if this is how she really is? She gets points for not being fake? Are your standards so low?
And she needs to stop forcing herself onto projects. She wasn’t the first choice for The Jacket, Pride and Prejudice, Silk or Tulip Fever. John Madded (a very talented and respected British director) walked from Tulip Fever after she was forced on him by the production company and the whole project collapsed. She was considered the weak-link in The Jacket. Silk was supposed to be a Madden production as well but the same thing happened that happened with TF, except they fiound a director to replace him after he walked. ANd you know what? She’s been cited in virtually every review as the weak-link in the cast. The films has made virtually no money. P&P is the only film that didn’t get screwed because of her. And that had more to do with the director and built-in fanbase, than with her. This is a long-standing issue in the industry: Who does a film belong to- the director or the production company? She’s coming down on the wrong side.
She needs to learn her strengths and stop forcing herself on other people.
Wow, Elle, perhaps we could give you some suggestions as to truly talented actresses who actually have something non-b*tchy and intelligent to say: Rachel McAdams (you can do her twice, you’ve done this Knightley chick about five or six times already), Kerry washington (so beautiful), Amy Adams (ditto), Catalina Sandino moreno, ellen page…I could go on. Anybody but this skinny twit. Come on, Elle, do better.
