Keira Knightley: “Focus On My Films!”
It doesn’t take much to invoke the wrath of a celebrity diva. Just ask her about her body image and who she’s dating and watch her fly off the handle. Case in point: Keira Knightley.
The Pirates of the Carribbean hottie was in Venice to promote her new film “Atonement” (which actually opened the Venice Film Festival) and she left quite the impression on the press that interviewed her.
She quickly became annoyed with the questions coming at her during a press conference that was supposed to focus on the movie. Instead, reporters chose to center in on her figure and romantic escapades.
Later, she said in an interview, “It’s really frustrating, and particularly when you come to Venice film festival with a film that is an intelligent film,” said the twenty-two year old actress. “It’s a thought-provoking film you can have a really good discussion about. I think it was just a shame that that had to be brought up then, and the fact that we all knew that it was going to be brought up.”
And Knightley revealed that she had a friendly wager going with her friends. “We actually had a bet going. I was like ‘Come on, how many times either anorexia or something about my body, are going to come up.’ I think what I want to keep it about is the work, that’s all I’m interested in, and when you’ve got a project like this I think it’s a shame to take it away from that.”
Enjoy the pictures of Keira showing off her figure on the beaches of Ibiza, just prior to heading off to Venice (August 23).
