Keira Knightly is fighting back.
And not in one of her terrible action movies, overrated literary adaptations, or entertaining pirate comedies, but in person, as herself, and against the movie studies that think sex is the only thing a movie has to sell tickets...
What sane person would think these "aren't good enough?"
Keira will appear topless in her upcoming film written by her mother and appeared topless briefly in her last movie, Atonement. But she draws the line on some things movie studios do to "pump up" a film. The controversy involves her role in a new movie called The Duchess.
Knightley refused to allow any enhancement of her cleavage on publicity photos for "The Duchess," Britain's Daily Mail reports. Studio heads reportedly want to enlarge Knightley's breasts in publicity photos but the actress, 23, threw down her bra, so to speak. "She has insisted that her figure stay in its natural state," an insider said. "She is proud of her body and doesn't want it altered."
How could you not love this gal:
"I always bare my breasts," Knightley said at a press conference to promote The Edge of Love, a film written for her by her mother, Sharman Macdonald. It was screened at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, giving viewers a surprise glimpse of Keira sans top. "It's not like it's only in this film!" the actress noted.
"I would love to have [breasts]!" she told Britain's GMTV last year, adding, "I'm never going to get [them]. I'm naturally who I am."
Read the rest of the article at The Improper, which is unfortunately far less flattering than ours. (She is repeatedly referred to as being "flat-chested," "small chested," etc.)
