James McAvoy joins in on the Venice Film Festival fun on Wednesday in Venice, Italy with his Atonement castmates — Keira Knightley, Vanessa Redgrave, Saoirse Ronan and director Joe Wright.

Keira Knightley hops onto a motorboat for the 64th Venice Film Festival on Tuesday in Venice, Italy.

The 22-year-old British actress recently told the Radio Times, “It frightens me when kids go, ‘I want to be famous. Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book (work on the stock market), you can get into a restaurant!”

And on the media’s obsession with her looks? “Okay, I’m on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the make-up, and airbrushes me. It’s not me, it’s something other people have created.”

And Keira also wishes actors’ private lives weren’t so out there: “The magic is in the screen, not knowing what’s behind it, because that ruins the magic.” For example, Lindsay Lohan!
