Keira Knightley is a London Lover

No. 17.

You must not be from London right? Because KK’s accent is far from being cockney! If anything, it’s ridiculously posh!

She definitely has body image issues , couple that with being so boney and thin plus she has dropped ALOT of weight recently….very suspicious…..sets off my eating disorder radar and trust me , i have a very good one.

such a bad actress but [i]such a posh bird, isn’t she[/i]

Yes, some people have naturally slim, rangy physiques, but that does not mean their bones show through skin in such a grotesque fashion. There is a healthy kind of slimness that looks attractive and elegant, and is required for most Hollywood actresses these days, but then there is another degree of thinness again, which occurs when someone is not taking in enough calories for their body. This is a kind of thinness that makes you wince when you see it. It is not pleasurable to look at, and rather than associating it with health and attractiveness, the bones that stick out through the skin conjure up thoughts of sickness and suffering. The photographs of Keira fall into the second category in my mind, because though she is a beautiful girl, to look at her makes you think of sickness.

Keira’s accent is not a regional dialect, which means she’s had some vocal training. She is NOT cockney or London.

I like the shirt but the pants have got to go. Also, that quote is from an interview she did when she was about 17 or 18. I suppose a paper dragged it out because of The Duchess or whatever.

She never really takes a demanding role (reasonably upper-class British woman experiencing romantic woes in costume dramas) and seems to keep to what she’s good at: posing (she’s especially fond of angling her head back, jaw out), giving reasonably stilted line deliveries, and starring in questionable adaptations of English novels that are far prettier than the scrip usually deserves. When she tries to step outside that (The Jacket, Domino) is when she falls flat on her face. She should stick to Joe Wright like glue.

Also, if you think she’s just naturally scrawny, you ought to google a fansite and look at pictures (premieres/candids) of her from around 2003-2004. Before she became a Stah, she weighed probably ten to fifteen pounds more. Looked better for it, but she shouldn’t be accused of having an eating disorder. That’s too serious a charge to be made lightly.
