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!
also, courtney, who the hell are YOU to criticize, since you not only read this site, YOU COMMENT ON IT. i think fox news blows harder than your mom, so i dont watch it. simple.
and um, i love hollywood bullshit. i love the superficial.
also, for sure the fish was way off base on this one, because i dont think keira was trying to be wise. she wasnt dictating a thesis on her personal philosophy on the meaning of life. i think she was trying to be funny. i appreciate people who dont take stuff too seriously and weave humor into everyday life.
@ 30… yeah, they do. but i think it’s b/c her natural color is really dark… and the brows aren’t working with the blonde hair. idk. i still think she’s gorgeous. i’ll take flat over fake any day.
51 you both have a point and are incredibly pretentious and slightly average in your dumbness. GREAT. So you have something to work on, run along now.
45 Hi, I’m a CORPSE. Kindly expound your inner me me me in a more relevent manner. All know this sight has gone downhill, drastically, in the last year. Mainly due to commenters like yourself, adding no humour, nor insight, to the pastime of celebrity bashing. Soooo…..say something funny or fuck yourself with a quarter yard of stone, missy.
That is all.
I forgot to mention, that I would make K. N. a lesbian. Cuz, if I get a chance to make sweet love to a woman of this caliber…….well, “every orifice” will become passe’ in the aftermath.
Fuck off, and goodnight you cunts!
#9- Damn straight.
Keira, stfu and EAT! I’ve seen 9 year olds with bigger tits.
yay! i was always sad cause i thought i was too smart to go into something glamorous like politics or modeling or living in laguna beach. now im gonna pursue my dream of being on mtv–a third party has confirmed i am pretentious! and average in my dumbness! now i can have better looking friends and possibly get paid for being hot. look, i was just pretentious and dumb again! in this post! OMG!
thanks african corpse. i wish i had more friends like you, who are thin, direct, and dumb and pretentious just like me. also i wish you said something about the post? also i am totally cool with being a petty person who has nothing better to do than have lame fights on comment boards. it is way more fun that i’d expected.
SHE LOOKS LIKE THE “CRYPT KEEPER”, ONLY HE HAS MORE MEAT ON HIS BONES! SUPERCILIOUS SKELETON!!!!!
Thanks for the post on my fave actress – love her! She has a refreshing frankness and more balls than most actors.
superficial, i love your bitchiness, but she’s one of the only grounded young actresses who has real talent. cut her some slack. and this is such an over-reach anyway…
It’s so funny how fatties always try to make themselves feel better by using the 11 year old boy line about women with small breasts. more than a mouthful is a waste! small breasts are sexy now and they will be sexy years down the road, unlike those floppy ass saggy boobs on big girls with the freakin’ pepperoni nipples on them! those are nasty
That hair color looks horrible on this snot nose guy. When did brassy become sexy? He needs to go home and start over.
Who wants to see my floppy ass saggy boobs and pepperoni nips? Anyone?
Not I!!
you left out the part where she admitted her acting sucked in Bend It Like Beckham.
I can’t remember where but I somehow read the article a few days ago. Although I guess she thinks she’s inproved since she only refers to her bad acting as being in the past (lol)
As for the eating disorder- like anyone fucking cares whether she is actually anorexic or not. She just went to court for the drama of it and to get it on record, broadcast to as many people as possible, that she is anorexic thin, but not anorexic. Wow. How is that possible? Amazing. Well done to her.
I didn’t know good genes made you “pretty” Gave you a really wide manly face, horrible looking (although flat) stomach, acne, buck teeth and dyslexia.
I’m glad I don’t have those “good” genes. But having a mother AND father who were successful in theatre/tv to get me into Hollywood even though I can’t act for shit would be good to have.
NOPE! No eating disorder here!
She reminds me of the Death eater Bellatrix Lestrange in the movie Harry Potter 4.
So what if you agree with her? Saying that doesn’t make her a genius or “real” or “fiesty”
Don’t you see that’s what she’s doing..purposely.
She is trying to act all normal. She throws out things like “oh I just got this shirt out of topshop, £10! bargain!” to pretend she is so down to earth, then she goes out in her £4000 dress to the premier of her new film and only dates rich models.
Yeah, she suuuure is keepin’ it real.
It’s pretty obvious that she tries to act that way but completely fails to be convincing. Some people don’t realise that’s what’s going on though. I’ll explain.
If you think she’s hot that’s okay. Just don’t make up stupid excuses for her, and try to say she has a good personality or actually makes any sense.
She actually has NO personality, unless being fake, pretentious, snobby or completely irrelevant counts.
There’s nothing WRONG with having small breasts, just don’t go around wearing dresses designed to show off your cleavage.. if you don’t have any.
Simple.
>>>”I mean, Hollywood, stock market, they’re basically the same thing.”
Someone please tell the retard who writes these blog entries that she was saying to become a broker INSTEAD of becoming an actor. And if he’s aware of this, and thought acting obtuse was funny, please tell him that he’s not.
Actually, try reading it again.
She said:
kids tell me they want to be famous and it frightens me.
She suggests that if you want to be RICH AND FAMOUS you go and work the stock market.
It’s not only a ridiculous thing to say, but it doesn’t even address the point. They first and foremost want to be famous.
You don’t get famous from stocks. Duh.
She makes such an ass of herself. She obviously doesn’t realise how patronising it sounds. Of course she has no problem making fun of people for wanting what she got so easily. If she wasn’t already rich and famous she would be a regular spotty, ugly, poor student. Being ignored and angry and desiring fame and money like most if not all young people.
too much swearing
Did anyone notice how KEIRA KNIGHTLEY looks like WINONA RYDER ? When I see a magazine cover with one of them, I have to think a while before I can figure out which one I am looking at. And I turn the page to check. However, Winona can act better. I just saw a movie with Keira, she had this “look at me I am cute” attitude all the time, dark staring eyes and mouth slightly open, subtly smiling, quite nerve raking actually because it did not fit in with the Jane Austen story.
Brains and beauty!
Every boy wants her.
And every girl wants to be her!
I know i’d love to be as stunning as she is!
