Keira Knightley shared some pearls of wisdom during an interview with UK’s Radio Times.

On looking good
“Somebody goes, ‘Gosh, you’re pretty.’ Thanks. I’ve got good genes! OK, I’m on the cover of a magazine but somebody else does the hair, and the makeup, and airbrushes the fuck out of me – it’s not me, it’s something other people have created.”

On being rich and famous
“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 [a table], you can get into a restaurant! ‘I want to be rich and famous.’ Go and work on the stock market.”

On suing Britain’s Daily Mail for suggesting she had an eating disorder
“You couldn’t say anything more horrendous. So yes, I did take a hard line, and I would take that line again.”

So Keira Knightley’s advice for people who want to be rich and famous is to go into the stock market. Brilliant brilliant stuff. I mean, Hollywood, stock market, they’re basically the same thing. It’s like telling somebody who dreams of being an astronaut to get a job at Costco. Because, you know, they sell telescopes. Same thing!

    She’s a terrible actress. She does this thing when she wants to be passionate, where she juts out her jaw. It’s weird. Bitch needs a steak.

    Um…why has no one commented on this dress.
    It’s gold lamé with a bedazzled belt. She looks like she got it at “Trashy Slut Whores from the 80s”.

    Look at her body, pretend she’s 13, get rock hard.

    It’s a simple equation, folks. You can keep your KimberlyStewardNormalCellulite asses, and your RealHipposHaveCurves. I’ll take the young girl in her prime, thanks.

    #3 – I agree, her comments are actually pretty level headed and reasonable, of course if you cut them up and put it together like that it sounds a bit goofy…but I pretty much agree with the points she’s making

    1) in reality she doesn’t look how she does on mag coveres

    2) people want to be rich and famous for the wrong reasons, to me she’s saying “if you want to be an actor, be an actor, if you just want to be rich go work in stocks”

    3) tabloids shouldn’t be allowed to lie about people’s medical conditions

    Aw come on! There’s nothing sexier than a woman comfortable in her own skin. Chicks with small boobs that flaunt them/don’t pad them is so hot. Truly. She’s a beautiful girl, making some (refreshingly) honest comments. Though she has cankles which drives me nuts.

    She’s hot, she’s got a brain and a feisty attitude. So wrong for this site.
    And for the record, small tits are fuckin HOT. They’ll never sag and most times don’t even need a bra, so bring ‘em on!

    I love when these “already famous and rich” celebs start pontificating on how fake the actors life is blah-blah-blah. Shaddap and enjoy your fame and be grateful.

    It’s like when a New Yorker goes to Compton with the aloof attitude of “Pfft, I’m from New York” and gets a cap in his ass.

    Don’t know what the connection is but I’m going for the fake aloof aspect here.

    Hey Mr. Superfish, as the officially least funny/clever/relevant blogger ever, do you really feel like you’re in any position to criticize? Well, obviously you do, but honestly… you’re a joke. I’d say telling kids to stay the hell away from Hollywood and steer toward business is pretty good fucking advice, as hypocritical as it may be.

    There’s nothing more horrendous they could say?
    What if they said she was a murderer? Or a child molester? Or a thief? Or had a history of sickening cruelty to animals?
    But no. A comment about her body and how she looks is the worst thing she can think of. Keira Knightley stinks.

    What is it exactly about this thin, flat-chested bitch that is supposed to be so hot?

    Stunning? Feisty? Is there something about her face that’s overwhelmingly beautiful? She’s got no curves, and a typical British-asshole attitude to boot.

    Lohan (when she wants to be) is prettier than this flat board.

  48. papa bear | August 21, 2007 at 8:29 pm

    she is technically right, but for someone who got into acting to be rich, famous etc, it’s pretty hypocritical to tell people it’s ridiculous. No one gets into acting at 16 for the craft of acting, nor do you get into on camera work. If she was a stage actress making these comments I might buy it more.

    It’s the typical response from an actress who sees her days as the ‘next big thing’ fading.

    hey courtney-
    i had no idea this was the least funny blog ever. where are are these funnier ones? it must be yours. where is yours? is it full of hyperboles and exagerrations borne out of bitterness because you are a 46 year old uglier version of your own mother still working as a lame ass admin assistant whos about to get fired because she doesnt work, she just reads blogs and declares them all the be THE WORST ever when they say one thing she doesnt agree with?
    shut the hell up. thanks! and go check the fax machine too.
