Keira Knightley admitted yesterday she comes from a family of anorexics, although denied suffering from the eating disorder herself after being questioned at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. She says:
“I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it. I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t. (The press) said to me yesterday ‘How does it feel to be called anorexic?’ and I had no idea that I was. I’m not saying there aren’t people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I’m quite sure I don’t have it.”
Keira Knightley saying she’s not anorexic is like Rosie O’Donnell saying she’s big boned. Or Paris Hilton saying she’s talented. Or Gary Coleman saying he’s happy. True? Possibly. Not true? Totally 100% definitely.
Whoops….that would be FAKE eyelashes, not FALE as I posted in #100. I don’t know what fale eyelashes are – possibly fake eyelashes made from kale?
I checked out #99′s link and eeeeeeeyiiiiikessss. Keira needs to change her name to Skeera. You can practically see every vertebrae in her spine clearly delineated….from the front.
#95 JBYZC I love you and want to have your children.
#63 I agree 100%. These actresses agents have got to be brain washing them to think that losing weight will make them more successful.
Good lord people, give her a frickin break already. There are two main reasons that it’s so pronounced in recent photos: 1. she has a round head/face, and 2. she had no idea how to dress to flatter her body.
Kelly Ripa is the same size or even smaller than she is but she doesn’t get nearly as much shit for it as Keira or other thin actresses out there. Check these out & tell me HER chest isn’t concave:

AUGH! Why is it okay for some women to be thing but not others, okay for some women to be heavier but not others?? Just get off her ass people – if she doesn’t have an eating disorder, then you’re going to GIVE her one with your criticism. And if she does have an eating disorder, then your criticism will only make it worse
OH, and for all of you who say there’s no such thing as a fast metabolism or a healthy thin person – piss off, you’re ill informed and jealous that you can’t eat what you want & stay thin. I’m 5’6″ and I fluctuate between 108 & 115-ish, with the higher end being mostly due to “cyclic” cravings. I’ve put on a couple of pounds in the last couple months (working at home now, so no running around the office to burn extra calories) but my average weight for the past few years has been about 104. I tried to talk to my doctors about gaining a bit to get to a “healthier” weight, and two different doctors have told me that I’m fine. They told me to stop worrying about it and my frame is very small and I’m naturally thin. I wish I could stop thinking about it and worrying about it so much, but society & my mom have driven me nutso about it. For decades now (I’m 31) my mom has been bugging me to eat eat eat. ONCE when I went up to 125 lbs (college dorm eating + a weight training class), she made fun of my ass. Recently, when my mom looked at a picture of me lying on a lounge chair in a bathing suit, she had the cajones to say, “wow, that picture’s kinda deceiving, your legs look FAT.” I almost threw her out. What’s even sicker though is that by current hollywood/magazine standards I AM fat because I actually have an ass and hips & thighs rather than a completely fatless little boy frame.
Between the comments & criticisms & magazines & airbrushings, is it any wonder that a large number of women have varying degrees of body dysmorphic disorder??
104….who cares?
Why does the subject of being over/under weight make people nuts? Bottom line is she very obviously is starved of calories and it shows because she has no lean muscle.
Wow 104, you reeeallly have a lot to say on the subject… I totally disagree w/your Kelly Ripa comment. She is very petite and small, but does NOT look anorexic at all! Definitely doesn’t look the way Keira looks for sure with all her bones jutting out. Kelly is toned and actualy has muscle. She’s just in great shape (esp for someone who’s had 3 kids!) and looks awesome.
id fuck her. shes a fuckin goddess!!!! and @103, your so right
Who you talkin’ bout, Willis?
Quick! Someone call Sally Struthers!
107, yeah, I do have a lot to say on the subject. Countless people have made my body their business and it’s rare that I get to vent about it. Sorry to take it out on you folks, I know you’re not the ones calling me “skinny minnie” or saying “oh, you’re skinny, I HATE you” (with actual hate in their eyes/voices) or making fun of me when I DO gain a couple of pounds, but it’s so disgusting that weight issues have become the public’s business and that BDD has become so prevalent because of it, and that normal skinny people can’t just be normal skinny people anymore.
As for Kelly Ripa, I was just using her as an example of how some people are “allowed” to be thin without being attacked for it. Do I think she’s anorexic? Probably not, but in all seriousness, it’s not my place to say if SHE is or if anyone else is.
Skrpune, most of my closest friends are naturally skinny people. One of my very best friends is 5’3” and maybe 110, and other is 5’5” and has worked hard to get up to 120. Both of them have very little body fat, and they have itty bitty titties, but their sternums aren’t sticking out. You’re NOT a normal skinny person when your sternum is the most prominent part of your chest- then you’re just unhealthy, and need to start eating again. Seriously, her body suggests she’s been getting her diet advice from Elie Weisel’s memoirs.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being naturally skinny, but her bones are jutting out too far to be the result of a fast metabolism. Especially because six months ago her bones were staying nicely inside her skin.
Kendo_Bunny i agree.
“Countless people have made my body their business ”
SHHHHH…..don’t say stuff like that here…..these commenters…….’specially the regulars….they’re not right…..they’ll make fun of you….they’ll say shit that insinuates you’re a hooker, or a human trampoline….they’ll accuse you of being a narciscistic douchebag…..they’ll tell you to go tell someone who cares…..some might even challenge you and Keira to a starve-off….
I have to comment on #103′s post regarding Kelly Ripa. Kelly Ripa is RIPPED she is 5′ 4″ but I would guess she weighs around 110 to 115. In the acceptable range for her height. She has a lot of lean muscle mass. Healthy. Keira on the other hand is 5′ 7″ and if she weighs 92 I’d be shocked. There isn’t a toned muscle on that girl. Arms like spaghetti?
And #104 I understand your frustration. In another post I mentioned that my mother and sister are very, very thin and they contend with the same rude, unfeeling comments and attitudes that you do…but I must say that at 104 5′ 6″ (which is close to my mom’s weight and height) I am sure you aren’t anywhere near as bony looking as Knightly. It is not that people don’t believe in the possibilty of high metabolisms, its just that they aren’t willing to be fooled into thinking that this girl looks ‘natural’ either.
She doesn’t look anorexic to me. I’ve only seen one truly anorexic looking girl in my life, and she goes to my university.
I’m 5’5″ and am usually 100 to 105 pounds. It’s called not being a fat ass who eats at McDonald’s all the time. Seriously, AMericans need to get over it. THe rest of the world is still fit.
116–Do they teach you to trash America in your Ivy League university, you little douchebag? (Do you even really attend an Ivy League university?)
“I’m 5’5″ and am usually 100 to 105 pounds. It’s called not being a fat ass who eats at McDonald’s all the time.”
Shut the fuck up.
theres no way she’s an anoretic, her skin looks too healthy
What happened to this girl ? :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39280000/jpg/_39280683_orli_pa.jpg
She looks so much happier & healthier there(compared to the pics at gofugyourself), and she actually has some form of breasts!
i can’t believe that some of these comments actually support the unhealthy weight of miss knightly. she’s an attractive woman with a naturally slim build- but she seriously looks like a skeleton in those photos. thin and healthy is all well and good, but when concave chests and bones that jut out become the ideal female figure, i have to think somewhere along the line we’ve lost rationality.
would anyone other than a priest honestly want to poke her? she looks like a 12 year old boy
i think she looks great. i’m thin with a high metabolism, too, i’m probably just slightly heavier than her, and i eat a ton.
and i loved holisticwisdom’s post! :)
i like em skinny im sorry
this girl is BANGIN and its because shes skinny, sexy, with hot model esk prognothic facial structure
if you like fat girls or what you call “healthy” medium sized women it is because you are not physically attractive enough and/or dont spit well enough game to be able to hook up with these finer slender specimens
drastically over generalized statement i know
but its just my opiniion
oh wait… thats the opinion of the majority of the people in society no wonder popular culture digs skinny girls BECAUSE THEYRE POPULAR
ps – i dont encourage jumping the bandwagon but most people just dont find the more medium sized girls attractive… its low class…
I would titty fuck her.
Huh? Where are her tits?
Wait, she’s got horse legs and calves.
