Keira Knightley's Not Anorexic, Says Her Mother
Originally posted 06/16/2008 01:45PM
Keira Knightley isn't anorexic – her slim figure is thanks to her dad, not a restrictive diet, says the star's mom.
"She has always been thin," Knightley's mother, Sharman Macdonald, told Britain's Sunday Times. "She's her daddy's daughter, with his long body."
Like her father, the actress, 23, must "eat like a horse," to maintain her weight, Macdonald said. Knightley eats a diet high in protein and carbohydrates to make sure she doesn't lose any more weight.

Keira Knightley Sings in The Edge of Love
Originally posted 06/02/2008 11:50AM
They shared a nude Vanity Fair cover, and now Keira Knightley is showing vocal prowess to rival that of other actress-turned-singer Scarlett Johansson.
As Vera Philips, the lover of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas in the new biopic, The Edge of Love, Knightley, 23, sings "Blue Tahitian Moon." "I did some lessons with a voice coach because I can't sing," the actress recently said. "It was live. There were 100 extras and John [Maybury, the director] was like, 'Now you're going to sing.' I've never been so frightened in my entire life."
The film, written by Knightley's mom, Sharman Macdonald, and costarring Sienna Miller and Matthew Rhys, will open this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 18.

Keira Knightley Says Posing Nude Is 'Liberating'
Originally posted 12/06/2007 05:55PM
Keira Knightley admits she can't keep her clothes on.
Last year she went nude for Vanity Fair's Hollywood Issue. Now the 22-year-old is topless on the cover of Interview and posing for a new Chanel ad with only a strategically placed hat. What gives?
"I don't know. People ask [me to pose naked] and I just say yes," the Atonement star told Ellen DeGeneres on Thursday’s show. "I find it vaguely liberating."

James McAvoy Limits Lovemaking with Keira Knightley
Originally posted 12/04/2007 10:35AM
Making love to Keira Knightley – which Scottish actor James McAvoy does in Atonement – is nice work if you can get it, but there are rules.
"We talked a lot beforehand, so we had it figured out what we were going to do, what bits are we going to feel, and what bits are we not going to feel," McAvoy, 28, told PEOPLE at the Chanel and Cinema Society premiere of the 1930s period drama, held Monday in New York.
Any tips for doing a sex scene? "Breath mints," he advises. "Don't have a lot of garlic. Don't have a salmon-and-cucumber sandwich beforehand."
